Just keep practicing or have a friend come over and you say one line he or she says one line or vice versa

Some of the best ways to help you memorize a script, include reading it out loud repeatedly, monologue while motoring, always think positively and do not panic. Additionally, you need to create some flash cards with the main leading points that can help to remember other parts of the script or make sure you understand the script from which you should pick guiding points.

All of that would have been great advice if it had been 2 weeks ago. The kid's looking at an exam **tomorrow**, which means most of what you've said is out the window. It's great advice, and perfect...for someone who has the time to devote. This kid doesn't...he's a wash.

You have waited too long to study. There is NO shortcut to memorization; there is only memorization. You have 2 choices: admit failure (quite mature), attempt an all-night-brain-squeeze-memorizer which has pretty much a zero percent chance to work. You've messed up, buddy, and there ain't no helpin' ya.

I might come off harsh, but somebody looking for a miracle is going to have to face reality sometime. There ain't no unicorns.

Try to remember the heading like: shampoo sun silk is orange, use for damage hair. But if history and stuff, remember only the year and days soon you will figure the months. It work out for me (perhaps I got 96 percent out of hundred)

good luck. Lol i have near photographic memory, so it's easy for me. just try repeating things to yourself over and over and dont TRY to memorize it, just keep repeating it and repeating it and repeating it to your self. if you HAVE to memorize some parts (bc you only have one day) i would only learn the transitions and the MAIN topics in between that, all the other stuff should fall into place.

Have a friend or family member say a line, and then you repeat it. Do this over and over again with each part until you make no mistakes, then move on to the next part and repeat. It really does work, not just with languages but with poetry and stuff like that too :)

Here's what helps me for my highschool drama class && presentations too!!: Memorize one senatance, memorize the next, then go back and say them both together, then learn the next sentance, && go back to the begining say it again, keep the cycle going till you've got it memorized totally through(One line learned, now do it from the begining, one more lined learned and then do it from the begining) BTW this way is totally energy sucking and will probably drain you easy:D Though you're pretty much garenteed to never forget it.

Just record yourself and play it while you sleep so it can be stored in your mind then think about it and you will probably remember.

To read it like 20 times.
Or ask for help, or just put your script where you can see, but not the crowd
And if that doesn't work, write your script on your arm

Kep reading and then practice without it and If you forget practice some more and do that cyclically and when you reach your goal, to remember everything, stop. Then practice some more later. :D -Welcome-

Keep reading it over and over and have someone quiz you on it and if that dont work then write it, it will help it get stuck in your head!

Keep on repeating the lines and when you get a word or sentence messed up start from the top. but if you keep on messing up on that part say it over and over again to make your brain learn it. (:
