During a Reddit AMA, 74-time-champion Ken Jennings recommended memorizing the US presidents in order. His second-most important category for study is capitals of the world’s countries.

Former Jeopardy! champion Brad Rutter agrees with those strategies. “There’s usually one of those categories in every game,” he told Esquire. “I don’t think they’ve ever repeated a clue, but they do ask about the same stuff a lot.” Other topics recommended to study are cocktails, current Cabinet and Senators, and university towns.
