How to memorize lots of icons

Loose icons are forgotten quickly, but if you turn them into a story or a route, they are remembered much better.

  1. Make up a story that links the icons in the order they appear.
  2. Use the method of loci: imagine each icon in a different room of your house.
  3. Group by category (devices, tools, games): remembering groups is easier than remembering loose items.
  4. Say each icon's name under your breath: seeing and saying reinforces memory.
  5. Before pressing Done, go over the list in your head: it's better to leave a doubtful one unmarked than to guess blindly.

The more icons you see, the more you need a story: don't try to memorize them one by one.
