Ameliorate Mem is part of a series of memvids which are designed to help pupils, students and teachers from the UK and the USA to understand, learn and remember new words for SATs and GCSEs. They are meant to be an engaging, memorable way of associating the word with the meaning through a short visual sketch, often involving a sort of visual punning.

The ancient memory techniques and principles on which mnemonic learning is based are explained and employed with much more detail and precision on the excellent new website memrise.com. The result is that through memrise, thousands of people have already discovered how to learn faster by enjoying themselves and their study more. Users can create their own mems (fun and amusing ways of remembering things) or simply use one that has already been made. There are a range of approaches - from written mems, to cartoon mems and video mems and you can chose whichever style works best for you. The complex algorithm behind the apprently simple testing system organises the questions in order to optimise your revision, allowing you to spend less time overall while achieving better long-term memories that will last into the exam hall.
