You need to know the seven layers in sequence, either top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top. Here are some mnemonic phrases to help you remember the layers of the OSI model:
"Please Do Not Throw Salami Pizza Away" — this works for bottom-to-top.
If you don't like salami pizza, then how about seafood or spinach pizza instead?
"All People Seem To Need Data Processing" — a top-to-bottom reminder.
"APS Transports Network Data Physically" — APS refers to Application, Presentation, and Session. This one separates the upper and lower layer groups.
"Please Do Not Tell Secret Passwords Anytime" — Shh! Another bottom-to-top phrase
I used "All People Seem To Need Data Processing" myself and it was the first thing I wrote down before I started my exam and that was on the 2003 objectives..
Just thought I'd help some first timers out...

Here's a link to a topic similar to this. Webmaster (Johan) also gives other links inside that thread.

I actually got a question on the order of the OSI layers on the Network+. I used "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away" - Except on a later question there was no answer for how Pizza works with data encryption
