Quick tips

• Name them. Say each symbol to yourself as you study the row. Words stick better than images alone.
• Make a story. Link the symbols into a tiny story (the cat sits on the moon next to a key): it is the oldest memory trick there is.
• Count them. Knowing that the row had six symbols helps you check your memory when it comes back.
• Ignore the order. The row is reshuffled, so positions do not help. Focus on which symbols were there.
• Eliminate. When the row returns, tick off each symbol you see. The one left over among the four choices is the answer.
