On top of flash cards, audio notes, doing a shitton of qbank questions etc for CFA® level 1 prep, are there any good mnemonics to help memorize formulas/concepts (specifically accounting)?
Like put-call parity for example:
S i P- a - C o K e
Stock + Put = Call + striKe

Put call parity is easy... as long as you remember S&P as in the index of STOCKS you can figure out the rest.
If you can't remember the C+X/(1+r) = S + P without a mnemonic you shouldn't be taking the CFA.
