Anyways, I have a similar dilemma.
I am now taking an art history class, a large portion of which is memorizing works of art and the person that created them/their historical significance. Now, obviously flashcards would be awesome, but I simply don't have the money/whatever to print out thousands of color images. So I was wondering if there was a way to make virtual flashcards that use a picture instead of text (the professor provides us with .jpg's of all of the works of art in question) on one side? If not, have any of you had a class like this before? And if so, how did you go about it?
Class just started though, so I won't have exams for a few weeks yet.
you fail at reading the thread!
Make your own flashcards
Creating flashcards is as easy as visiting the create flashcards page and following the instructions. Specifically, you can:
* Create an unlimited number of flashcards.
* Create flashcards in any language.
* Make your flashcards available to the web site community (see tags).
* Import flashcards from text files and Microsoft Excel.
Create flashcards with images. Currently jpegs can be used for image flashcards.
* Create audio flashcards. Currently mp3 files can be used for audio flashcards.
* Include a “hint” to assist in the study process.
* See the flashcard creation help pages for more information.

O and just for interest sake, about how much money would a 7 decimal scale cost?
Also since I know I am a little bit behind, I am going to stay up all night. Will this have bad repercussions on my test scores?? Anyone know from experience?
Don't stay up all night
When you sleep, you're actually storing up energy for the day after tomorrow (which is why tuesday = pain)
Also, lack of sleep does not help when you're trying to memorize terms

Ty. 
I went there, but thought it was just text.
So I fail at reading the link, not the thread.

Once i read a book about memorizing things from a dude than can memorize lots of things (one of those guys that memorize a full deck of cards in like 2 minutes). Well the basic idea behind this method is that you use an stupid or absurd mental image about what you want to remember.
Well some key points were:
The image you made has to be as real and absurd as posible (if its not absurd its more likely to be forgotten), and that you dont spend more than 2 second on each image. Kind of funny that i still remember the example list of things he gave to remember at first:
1 carpet (here is the basic word)
2 paper (you want to link carpet-paper so image of cleaning your shoes on paper instead of a carpet
3 bottle (picture a bottle of paper with wine dripping)
4 bed (picture of yourself sleeping over bottles)
5 fish (picture yourself holding a fish while sleeping)
6 chair (picture of a fish talking to you on a chair)
7 window (picture yourself throwing a chair through a window)
8 phone (picture youself talking through a window instead of a phone)
9 cigarrete (picture of cigarretes coming from the phone instead of sounds)
10 television (picture a screen made of cigarretes)
11 dish (picture yourself eating over a tv)
12 hambuguer (eat a dish instead of a burguer)
13 car (picture of a car with hamburguer wheels)
14 coffe pot (a car with a cofee pot design)
15 brick (a building made of cofee pots)
I know these words are simple enough to be remembered but the method is quite good for complex definitions if you select some keywords from the definition you want to remember and link them to the name to be remembered with an absurd image. If someone wants the book i know its somewhere in my pc but it will take like a week to read. Try to use the stupid images, this works fine for me.

Heres a word Ive memorized.
The word is Krocsyldiphithic.
Definition?
Something which has a krocsyldiph-like quality.
Uh, could you use it in a sentence?
Certainly. "Krocsyldiphithic" is a hard word to spell.

memorize like 20-50 at a time. When it is good go to the next 20-50. After a few hundred go over all the previous memorized terms. Do the next few hundred 20-50 at a time, then go over that chunk. Do this until you have it all, then do the entire list.
Seriously.

I'm kind of interested in the types of things you have to memorize for an Earth Space science class.....could you give me an example or two?

1500+ definitions/ 2days?
- ur only option is to sleep 8 hours a day, and study ten hours per day, and to read each definition with attention (hence good sleep) and hope for the best..
- if u study 10 hours per day u have around 1200 minutes available total - u pretty much have to read a definition within 40 secs and hope u retain it (u should retain 30% of the first day 60% of the second if u have average interest and avg memory just reading)
- u should have started earlier.. now ur pretty much screwed time wise lol
- hope u know most of them already..

Here is a list of a few I need to know I guess I will write the definitions as well to try and learn them better.
Ridge Push: The downward force produced as the uplifted oceanic ridge moves towards the subduction zone.
Ridge Slab Pull: As the slab sinks, the weight of the slab pulls the lithosphere into the subduction zone at the downward convection current.
Asthenospheric Drag: The lateral force caused by the convection in the asthenosphere, may drag on the base of the lithosphere.
Types of magma-
Mafic: High mineral content of magnesium, and iron.
Felsic: Contains light minerals such as feldspar, silicon, and carbon.
Volcanic rock types-
Mafic: Basalt content.
Intermediate: andesite.
Felsic: Rhyolite
Types of Volcanoes- (Shield, Cinder cone, Composite)
Shield volcanoes: Large, gently sloping with a near circular base. Formed by many layers of basaltic lava.
Cinder cone: Formed when pyroclastic material is ejected unto the air and falls back around the vent, usually steeper but smaller.
Composite: Formed when layers of volcanic fragments alternate with lava. Larger then cinder cones and extremely explosive.
Tephra: Fragments that are thrown into the air during and eruption are called tephra. They are classified by size, dust being the smallest and volcanic blocks being the largest.
Pyroclastic Flow: Is a cloud of (700 degree celcius) ash speeding down the slopes of a volcano, and are the most dangerous part about a volcano, because they contain many dangerous and boiling gasses.
Screw it! I am just going to read them over many many times I think that is the most efficient way.
