Study strategies

1

Use active recall, not re-reading

Close your notes and recall from scratch. Harder but way more effective.

2

Study in 25-minute blocks

Pomodoro — 25 min focus, 5 min break. Prevents burnout.

3

Review notes the same day

10 minutes after class cuts overnight forgetting significantly.

4

Teach it to someone else

If you can explain it out loud, you truly understand it.

5

Get 8 hours of sleep before tests

Sleep consolidates memories. All-nighters backfire.
