Mnemonics for REG

    I’ve had some really good mnemonics for the other tests, but I just realized that I don’t have any for REG. Do any of you have helpful ones? REG is so different…I feel like I’m having to retrain my brain after going through all of the others.

    I remember MY LEGS from business law for contracts in writing. I used Becker.

    The tallest oak in the forest was once just a little nut that held its ground.
