Memory Technique to Remember Sections




Memory Technique to Remember section Number

Our brain cannot remember useless and meaningless stuffs. (Normal human brains).

Hence, the technique of converting numbers into meaningful words is important to learn.




Step 1: Lets assign letters to all the numbers from 0 to 9
Number Letters AssignedReasons of assigning the Letter
1 S, D
Maximum spelling starts with S and D and maximum number of sections will
have 1 used in the section number
2 N, V These letters are made of two pointers pointing down or up
3 M, W These letters are made of three pointers pointing down or up
4 R Spelling of 4 consist of R in it
5 L Roman letter for the number 50
6 C, J C is somewhat similar in shape with 6, J is sort of mirror image of C
7 F, T Similarity of shapes
8 B, G Similarity of shapes . G is small letters looks like g (8)
9 P, q Similarity of shapes. P is mirror image of 9 and q looks like 9
0 Z, X Spelling Zero and Roman ten (X)

Step 2: Convert a number into words by using above letters and filling up any of vowels (a, e, i, o, u, y, h). H
and Y are used as joiners because many spellings become complete by using them. Hence they are not assigned
to any digit in the above table.

Step 3: Connection between the section and the word created out of section number. Please remember
to form a funny association and make the connection as weird as possible. Wherever possible, create a picture
of your own imagination.

Now take some examples of using the above technique.

Ex. No.
Section Number and
Matter involved
Creation of
Word
Connection of Word and the
Matter under consideration
How to Get what you Want in
Exams.
1.
Section 185 of
Companies act 2013
pertains to Provisions
relating to Loans to
directors.
1 = D, S
8 = B, G
5 = L
The word double has to be
connected with the matter of
the section, i.e. Loans to
Directors.
A simple association can be
said as When you give loan
to director, it will result in
DouBLe penalty
The moment you come across
the phrase Loan to Directors
under Companies Act, 2013,
you will remember the word
Double, the word when
reconverted into digits gives
you 185. You will write, as
per section 185.
1.
Section 73 of
Companies Act, 2013
Acceptance of
Deposits
7 = F, T
3 = M, W
I could think of FM.
Connection Acceptance of
Deposit by company they are
giving advertisement in radio
mirchi (which is FM Radio)
The connection between
deposit, radio mirchi, FM will
remind you of reverse of FM
i.e. 7, 3 = 73.
Section 73.
1.
Annual General
Meeting
Section 96
9 = P, Q
6 = C, J
I could think of the word PJ,
you will create a picture of
annual general meeting where
people are cracking PJs (PJ
is popular short form of Poor
Jokes). People are laughing
loudly.
The connection of AGM and
PJ is set. Now, when you
think of AGM, you will
remember the scene and you
will remember PJ. You know
what P and J stands for. 9 and
6. Section 96
1.
Register of Members
Section 88
8 = B, G
88 = BB or GG
or BG or GB
What I could think of is as
follows.
In register of member,
company has entered names
of their BBs also. (BB =
Wife)
The funny association of
register of members, their
names and their BB name
connects u to the number 88.

While preparing the words out of sections, please make sure that as far as possible, make a word which can be
pictured. Mind remembers in pictures. Thats why you remember movies easily, while you forget the economic
theories.

In example no. 1 above, I gave very simple connection of giving the loans resulting in double penalty. But, the
moment you start imagining in weird pictures, you are likely to remember easily. For example, if I would have
said that if you give loan to Director or his related party, Shareholder comes and Slaps you on both of your
cheeks. (DOUBLE SLAP). In this example, likeliness of remembering is more. Whenever you see cow on the
streets, you dont notice or dont remember, but if some day you see a PINK color cow, you will remember the
whole day or probably whole life that you had seen a PINK cow. Same is the case with the brain, it remembers
the extra ordinary matter easily.
