Two study methods consistently outperform the rest in research: active recall and spaced repetition. Here is how they work and how to use them.
Active recall means retrieving information from memory rather than re-reading it. Each time you pull an answer from your mind, the memory gets stronger.
Spaced repetition schedules reviews at increasing intervals, just before you would forget. This fights the forgetting curve efficiently.
Use flashcards you test yourself on, then review them on a spaced schedule. Our Flashcard Maker is perfect for this.
Replace passive re-reading with these two methods and your retention will climb.
