Whenever I had a dressage test, I would take a piece of paper and draw a rectangle (an arena) on it with the letters labelled. I would then take my test and a pen and draw it out using different types of lines for different paces. There used to be a website in which you could "ride" your dressage test, however I cannot find the link (and it’s been years since I’ve used the link).
If the horse is yours, have a friend come with you and have your friend read out the test while you practice.
The trick is continually repeat it over and over and over. Even watching some other riders ride the test at the show may help you with your memorization. If it is a schooling show, they may allow you to have a reader.
