Mnemonics
You can use combined mnemonics that utilise sound, words and symbols. The keys to good mnemonics according to Mind Tools 
are imagination, association and location.
They suggest 'placing things on top of each other, crashing things together, merging images together, wrapping them around each other, rotating them around each other or having them dancing together, linking them using the same colour, smell, shape, or feeling…'.
If you're a kinaesthetic learner then you might also like to associate mnemonics to a sense of touch or movement, for example, by tapping the tips of your fingers with your thumb to anchor words.
Make up mnemonics for information in your hardest subjects. For example, here's a way you can remember the first 20 elements of the periodic table in Chemistry. Remember that hydrogen is first then use this little mnemonic with the laid out placements of the columns in this order to help you remember these first 20 elements.
