How do I memorise quotes for the closed book exams?

Remember that you only need a couple of quotes per point, and that the examiners prefer to see well-selected and relevant points rather than a huge amount of quotes with no link to the question!

My advice would be to be very selective with the quotes you learn- try to find shorter phrases, rather than long paragraphs, as the bigger the quotation the more likely it is you'll mix up words! Another piece of advice would be to find quotes that you know will work for a number of different themes or question topics, which will further reduce the number you have to learn. 

A few ways to really get the quotes in your head include: Recording yourself reading them, and listening to this once a day, if not more; Writing them out on postit notes and sticking them to the bathroom mirror, so you can read them whilst doing your teeth; or make a song to your favourite tune, but substitue the lyrics with quotes. 

Quotation learning isn't a last minute thing- it takes time to process the words, and for them to become rooted in your long term memory, therefore you should be sure to test yourself at least once a fortnight on whether you're still word perfect with those quotes!
