listen better. or do what I did tell her when it's something important to say "are you listening this is imporant" before she says things you're gonna be tested on

This may sound dumb but it will work. Get a little notepad, and start jotting stuff down. I luckily have a decent memory, but I have suggested this to a buddy and it works deadly for him.

Repeat what she said back to her, if you need to. I found that when I am introduced to somebody new, if I use their name within the first couple of minutes of conversation, I remember it much better. She'll probably get mad at you for repeating her all the time, though, so maybe you should do it with your 'inside voice'...

They say to take ginkgo biloba for your memory....but if you can remember to take it everyday, you don't need it!
