CHEMISTRY HELP!! (Polyatomic Ions)?

I need to memorize 27 common Polyatomic ions for my Chem test so I can write chemical formulas. It is worth 70% of the test. I've memorized the letters for the ions, but I can never remember the subscripts or the charge. I've completely memorized Acetate and the Chlorine family, but any help with memorizing the others would be greatly appreciated. Even if you have one hint/tip PLEASE tell me!! Thanks in advance for the help! :)

Here's the table with the 27 ions: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wbr1-je8yy8/URP...

    Just focus on what you are doing, as much as possible try not to watch TV shows or anything that could destruct you. Get enough sleep, eat healthy foods and STUDY, STUDY, STUDY. I usually use sticky notes when I memorize something, I write down everything.

    Anyways, I only have one technique in memorizing (and it really works for me) Writing is one way of Learning. Write all those polyatomic ions in a paper, and when you're done, re-read it. I promise, your brain will recognize everything you wrote.. as in everything. Good luck for your exams!

    STUDY HARD. PRAY HARDER.
