So, I'm sitting here in a classroom, with about T-minus 20 minutes until my next exam. I've memorized about, eh, 92 cases: facts, holding, rationales, and all, and my mind feels about to burst.

My question is, how much is the most you've ever had to memorize? I think this about takes the cake for me.

I forgot the question.

The most ever I memorized?  The 2 months that I studied for the bar exam.  It is a test of memorization and not skill/knowledge in the field of law.

4 months of studying for the PE exam, memorizing specific heats, densities, and pretty much every material property for water, steel, aluminum, etc.  My memory is really good at remembering numbers in sequence.

I'd like to NOT remember half of the useless minutia that gets stored in my gray filing cabinet...

My memory is okay.  I tend to remember oddities or lines and inflections from movies, but not remember things that might actually be useful.

i failed some classes in college because i have no short term memory left....the lyme disease destroyed it.  if I have a notecard that I can put formulas on, i'll get 100 on the test, but when i had to memorize all those complex electrical circuit and physics circuits, they all blended together in my head like dyslexia!  i cant even remember a phone number if someone tells me it...its bad!

I can't remember people's names in the short term.

So, if I meet you and you tell me your name, I will forget it within 10 seconds.  Literally.  I don't even think that "forget" is the right word, because I don't think that it's ever put to memory to begin with.

i do the same thing.  a good way to compensate is to shake their hand firmly, look them straight in the eye, and repeat their name out loud - "nice to meet you, DAVE".   usually helps me out

Yeah, then people keep saying my name over and over and it's really annoying.

First of all, I hope you did well on your finals.

The most I've had to remember was information for my Latin and Experimental Design and Analysis finals which I took yesterday.  For Latin I had to memorize about 130 latin words and how those words transform in different declensions.  My Experimental Design and Analysis final was a bitch.  I had to commit about 30-35 formulas to memory, memorize the process of conducting a variety of ANOVA(analysis of the variance) tests, and interpret data from psychological experiments into words stating what happened in an experiment.

Roger Clemens and I misremember EVERYTHING.

Thanks for the well-wishes Fiedler.
