For paper one, two and three, I found it easier as they were quite visual, so I stuck loads of pictures and things on my walls.

&lt;p&gt;Visual works for you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps draw a&amp;nbsp;(LARGE) body on some wallpaper, stick it up on the wall and stick post-it notes with bullet points on the various parts affected by the disorder in question?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make up rhymes to go with things or even daft associations .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do I&amp;nbsp;remember Cushings and Addisons?&amp;nbsp; .&amp;nbsp;. . my aide memoire is that Addisions (ADD) is the opposite of a positive (ie the ADD), (yeah, mad but it works for me!), &amp;nbsp;so I know that it is HYPO (negative) adrenocorticism, which must make Cushings HYPERadrenocorticism...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HCM (hypertropic cardiomyopathy) - the most commonly diagnosed&amp;nbsp;heart&amp;nbsp;disease in a cat -&amp;nbsp;My aide memoire = &amp;nbsp;&amp;#39;Heart Ca(n)t Manage&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
