🎯 Study Skills

Active Recall

Testing yourself beats re-reading notes. Cover the material and try to write down everything you remember before checking.

• Use flashcards or blank-page recall
• Check answers only after trying

Spaced Repetition

Review material at increasing intervals — a day later, then a week, then a month — instead of cramming once.

• Short reviews beat long single sessions
• Revisit topics just before you'd forget them

The Feynman Technique

Explain a concept out loud in the simplest words possible, as if teaching someone younger. Gaps in your explanation show gaps in your understanding.

Practice Testing

Past papers and timed quizzes reveal what you actually know under exam conditions — not just what feels familiar.

• Time yourself like the real exam
• Review every wrong answer, not just the score

Better Note-Taking

Write notes in your own words rather than copying verbatim — it forces your brain to actually process the material.

Time Management

Short, focused sessions (25–30 minutes) with real breaks beat long unfocused ones. Plan what you'll study before you sit down, not while you're sitting there.

Reading Comprehension

Before reading, skim headings and questions first. Read with a purpose — you'll retain more than reading passively start to finish.

Memory Techniques

Chunking, acronyms, and vivid mental images all make information stickier than plain repetition alone.
