Commit to memory
Hi,
I just came across the phrase 'commit to memory' and I was wondering if it could be used in a situation where students talk about exams.
"I need to read the materials more times to really commit them to memory."
Thank you.

Hello Ann, Yes, it's possible to use it in that context. "commit (something) to memory means "to make an effort to learn something or to memorize something", so in your sentence, it means "I need to read the materials more times to really commit them to memory (to really memorize them). Best wishes, Joseph
