Don't memorize all the answers. Memorize the groups.
One "trick" is to break the questions into groups of 4 (as they had been in the past). Using T=1 and F=0, assign a binary value to each group. So TTTT = 15, TFTF = 10, FFFT = 1, etc.
Then, assign each value to a letter -- 1=A, 2=B...15=O.
Make up a nonsense sentence using the letters. If you have a group of FFFF=0, use punctuation, or the word "none" or "zero".
So, for the example above (TTTT TFTF FFFT) = 15, 10, 1 = OJA = Obviously Jeff Agrees
It's easier with a longer string.
Takes about 10 minutes to construct. repeat the nonsense to yourself a few times on the way to the test.
Reverse the process once inside.
I was first taught this in HS -- more than 30 years ago. It wasn't new then. Good for a few laughs / bar bets, if it's practiced.
It's not the only "magic" I've seen officials perform -- I've seen some guys swallow their whistles, and others go down the hall and turn into a locker room.
