- Do I need an account?
- Yes, to generate and save mnemonics to your library. Starting is free.
- Why not just use a mnemonic I found online?
- Use it if it sticks. They often do not, because the well-known ones were built for a slightly different list or assume references that mean nothing to you — and a mnemonic you have to work to recall is worse than none.
- Are mnemonics a substitute for understanding?
- No, and using them as one is the common mistake. They are for arbitrary material — order, names, lists — where there is nothing to understand. Anything with a logic to it is better learned through that logic.
- Can it work from my course material?
- Yes. Mnemonics can be built around terms drawn from documents in your library, so the items match what your course actually asks for.
