My initial strategy is to just write out the list (learning from writing) then just look over them over and over until I get them. I might write out more sentences because reading teacher of mine told me the best way to study vocab for the SATs was to try and make sentences off the fly because that shows complete understanding of the words.
I might even study with some friends because that would be more fun than just self studies.

yeah sorta like really strong mnemonics. That probably the better way to go
