By documenting and packaging ideas in an accessible manner, you prevent the risk of losing valuable information over time. Priming 🧱 - The key to saving time is maximizing your classes. Understanding the big picture before classes enhances your ability to deeply understand and remember new information by connecting it to existing knowledge. Do this by skimming your resources beforehand, creating a visual diagram, and taking a pretest. Feynman technique 📣 - Active recall will help you make the most out of your time and the Feynman technique is one of my favorite methods. When you attempt to explain concepts so that a fifth grader can understand, you will naturally simplify, group, and reorganize the material while also creating examples / analogies. Traffic light method🚦 - Google doc, excel sheet, paper, etc. are all good choices here - Create a list of the topics and color code based on your ability to recall the information - 🔴 = poor , 🟡 = adequate , 🟢= sufficient - Have space next to the topic title in order to include important information that you come across in your revision. This will keep you on track and also become an AMAZING ‘cheat sheet’ for you to review right before exam Hypercorrection effect ❌ - We have the tendency to learn better when we are corrected on an answer we were initially confident on. Therefore, take your pretests seriously! You’re not meant to get all your answers correct. Simply put meaningful effort towards your attempts and then reap the benefits of the hypercorrection effect in class Parkinson’s Law 📆 - Work tends to expand to fill the time allocated for it. Therefore, if you give yourself too generous of a deadline, you will find yourself severely procrastinating. Instead, set yourself micro deadlines along the way in your revision timetables!
