break it up into chunks, and let yourself have a break every half hour or hour.

you'll remember a lot more if you break it up. otherwise, you get fatigued and your brain cannot absorb the material as readily.

also, for remembering lots of rules, don't be afraid to take notes. education studies say you retain only 30% of what you hear, 40% of what you carefully read, and 80% of what you write. so, taking notes helps aid memorisation of rules.
