when you get in the exam room they give you a white board and marker and you can write down all the mnemonics you need so I'd memorize as many as you can!

I really loved this -

Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel Very Good Velvet, Such Heaven!

and then to remember which are motor, sensory or both:

If you don't like any of there's you can always make you own, that's what I did!

Also when you learning them I think it helps to visualize what they do or perform some motion related to them as you learn that way you'll have multiple sense memories to rely on.

Like with hypoglossal, stick our your tongue!
