ii) Moving Anti-clockwise , write ''A'' in the first half , ''S'' in the second , ''T'' in the third and ''C''thefourth.
iii) This is basically very easy to remember but but you can also memorize it by the phrase '' All Science
Teachers Creative''.
2. While Solving Trigonometric equations you can memorize the steps:
i) Identify the Quadrant.
ii) Find the Basic/Reference Angle.
iii) Obtain the Angle of Revolution.
iv) Memorize these steps as ''QBR'' (Qabar ).

Re: Mnemonics ( Ease In Learning)

There's a really useful cambridge revision guide for bio which has great mnemonics, like

MRS GREN
for recalling the characteristics of living organisms i.e
M=movement
R=reproduction
S=sensitivity
G=growth
R=respiration
E=excretion
N=nutrition

let me know if you need more :)

For Trignometry part our teacher said learn it like this :

SOH CAH TOA... :p

Just to erase the problem of base and perpendicular confusion in some cases...

Yeah , Captain but you know many students get confused with the terms ''Opposite'' and ''Adjacent''. So i thought better keep it simple . Nonetheless , "SOH CAH TOA'' is a good mnemonic and we have Captain Danger to thanks for enlightening us! 8)

Another for Chemistry Students!

When memorizing the names of polyatomic anions , here's a tip for all polyatomic anions that contain oxygen:
They all have -ate at the end of their name. It's as if they are saying ''We Ate Oxygen''.
e.g Nitrogen ate Oxygen - Nitrate Ion
Phosphorous ate Oxygen - Phosphate Ion
Sulphur ate Oxygen -Sulfate Ion



*This is not a mnemonic but is a very usefull tip.
