Memory techniques lesson 14: The link and story method · Set 522 · 40 questions

Memory tip (Each item pulls the next): Steps: picture the first item → link it to the next item → keep linking in order → replay the story. Use actions, not places: “a pen stirring tea in a cup” beats “a pen near a cup”. Every item needs its own link; skip one and that item is lost.
