3+ 10-

Mnemonic Device:

3+ 10-

Explanation:

I always get confused with: spring forward, fall back (I think it could easily be: spring back, fall forward).
So, 3 is the month (March) and + is the way the clocks go; 10 is the month (October) and – is the way the clocks go – a simple and failsafe memory tool!
