This is a good example for a very powerful mnemonic. On my step 1 exam I answered on 3 of the biochemistry question only by using this mnemonic. The question weren’t difficult, but because of the stress and length of  the exam, you got tired and takes time to manage even easy questions. Well, that’s why we have medical mnemonics to boost up our performance in difficult moments.
