MNEMONIC METHOD
Many aspirants face difficulties
in memorising certain contents of different subjects like physics, history, and
geography etc., while preparing for CSS Exam. The contents may include the
different dates and events taking place, may include the names of solar system
planets and etc. From physics it may include different laws, which are quite
tough to memorise or keep in brain exactly as they are stated. The method which
I used to learn them or even use now is "Mnemonic Method". It will be
quite easy for the aspirants if they will use mnemonic method or way to learn
such contents.
For instance:
§ It is quite difficult to learn the names and as well as order of
all the planets from the Sun. In this way if we put it under mnemonic method
and if we try to learn this statement "My Very Efficient Mother Just Serve Us Naan." The bold
letters in the above statement represents the first letter of each planet
respectively. And in this way if
you people will learn the above statement, so it means you have learned all the
planets and their order from the Sun.
§ Similarly in English the 7 coordinating conjunctions are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So just
remember the word "FANBOYS".
§ If you have to remember the names of 2016 Nobel Prize Winners in
Physics: David J Thouless, F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz. So just keep these
words in mind ―Dil Dhadke More (DDM)‖.
§ Now I am going to make you memorize the whole of Islamic battles
along with their due dates just in 5 minutes, are you ready? If so!
Imagine a word ‗ABURK‘ meaning a battle. When a battle
is fought, we get injured so we seek for 'Treatment', if failed we get ‗Maut (death)‘. Now using a 'hindko' word Hun (meaning Now), the dead bodies are placed
in 'Taboot'.
Focus over the sentence above,
i.e re–read. Sound interesting no? Hold you breath! The real game begins here.
All of you know how to count from 1 to 9. Simply add 'Hijri' to all.
1 Hijri 2 Hijri 3 Hijri 4
Hijri 5 Hijri
6 Hijri 7 Hijri 8 Hijri 9
Hijri Now, 'ABURK' stands for Abwa, Badr, Uhad, Rajih,
Khandaq.
Now it comes treatment time, i.e Treaty of Hudaibiya. Now treatment is
failed and death is occurred i.e Mauta.
Hun (meaning Now), the body is placed in ‗Tabut‘ (Simply don’t forget replacing 't' with 'k')
All of them are in ascending
order. Just put each from start till end with the numbers. It becomes:
1 Hijri Abwa
2 Hijri Badr
3 Hijri Uhad
4 Hijri Rajih
5 Hijri Khandaq
6 Hijri Treaty of Hudaibiya 7 Hijri Mauta
8 Hijri Hunain
9 Hijri Tabuk………… Thats it!
You’re done here.
If you want to go a step ahead,
as migration occurred in 622AD, so just remember by 2 Hijri they mean 624 AD
(i.e 2 years of migration), by 3 Hijri they mean 625 AD (i.e 3 years of
migration) and so on. Hence add concerned ADs too to the above dates from Badr
till Tabuk, it will become:
2 Hijri Badr – 624
3 Hijri Uhad – 625
4 Hijri Rajih – 626
5 Hijri Khandaq – 627
6 Hijri Treaty of Hudaibiya – 628 7 Hijri Mauta – 629
8 Hijri Hunain – 630
9 Hijri Tabuk – 631
§
If you have to remember the
number of districts in Pakistan:
KPK = 26
Sindh
= 29
Balochistan = 32
Punjab = 36
Consider yourself a resident of
KPK, imagine your age is 26 on your paper day. Now all of us knows that the
table of '3', so add 3 to 26 and think of a 3 days trip to visit Manorra
Island, which is in Sindh; it becomes 29. Now assume you got a Bike and it will
take 3 days to see Akbar Bugti Villa in Balochistan, it becomes 32. Finally,
you hear that PM Nawaz Sharif is going to announce a lucky draw for the post of
AC for those who became over-age and touched 36
and you run Punjab. Simply, you
can also remember one digit, i.e 26 for KPK, now start adding 3, and 4 on last.
Aspirants you can sketch small
pictures also to remember many hard words or formulas, and I have given you the
idea, now work smartly to learn things.
