The way to remember this is not to remember this :-)

If you've learned English at all, whether through being raised a native speaker or through studying at school, you'll know a lot of idioms--most of them, in fact. For that reason, I find comprehensive lists of all idioms to be less than useful--since the odds are you're spending 50-90% of the time working on that list studying things you already know!

Time spent studying idioms should focus on two things: commonly tested idioms (Regard as, Not Only...But Also, and a few others; Kaplan has lists available in most of our course books), and the ones that you discover don't sound natural to you personally. Trying to learn every idiom in the English language isn't an efficient use of your time.
