    I have a large bit of information I have to memorize verbatim by Monday morning.. I don't have any access to adderall or anything like that so that isn't an option. Anyone have any suggestions on techniques or supplements?

    Shut down the internet and start reading.

    Read it outloud if necessary.

    Oh, and I would just suggest some coffee as far as intake is concerned.

    I know bro.. my brain is zapped right now.. I am going to drink a few beers and watch some mindless TV for a couple of hours and go to bed and start cracking the whip in the morning. I have a large fog just sitting in my head right now of all the crash courses I have been through in the last couple weeks.

    Break it up into a few parts then memorize them in order.

    For instance: If you were to memorize how to spell the word Albuquerque, you would repeat A-L-B-U, A-L-B-U til you get that down, then move to Q-U-E-R, Q-U-E-R then Q-U-E.

    Same thing just larger scale. Make sure to nail the first part before moving on.

    Do this and you'll own the fuck out of that piece.
