Study with active recall

Study with active recall: Close the book and pull it out of your head. That is what makes it stay. 1) Turn your notes into questions: every heading becomes a question you answer without looking. 2) Answer from memory first, then check. Mark what you missed. 3) Come back to what you missed after one day, then three days, then a week.

The steps

  1. Turn your notes into questions: every heading becomes a question you answer without looking.
  2. Answer from memory first, then check. Mark what you missed.
  3. Come back to what you missed after one day, then three days, then a week.
  4. Do past exam questions with a timer, weeks before the exam, not the night before.
  5. Sleep. A block you study tired at midnight is a block you will do again.
