How to learn state capitals without a stale list
Capital recall improves when you connect each answer to a region, a map position, or a familiar nearby city instead of memorizing the list in alphabetical order.
- Group capitals by region: New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the South, the Midwest, the Plains, the Mountain West, the Pacific states, Alaska, and Hawaii.
- Watch for capitals that are not the largest city, such as Albany, Sacramento, Tallahassee, Springfield, Frankfort, Olympia, and Carson City.
- When you miss a pair, open the state page once, say the abbreviation and capital together, then replay the quiz while the connection is still fresh.
