how to learn new content and never forget it

save this for your next academic year and finals, and it’ll save your grades and time.

1. whenever you read a paragraph with new content, close the book/look away and ask yourself: “what have i just learned?” explaining the concept to yourself right away and asking follow-up questions will change the way you retain new material forever.

2. at first, it’ll be daunting, and it’ll be pretty hard to actually bring yourself to do this. trust me, it’ll be worth it - as this is scientifically proven one of the most effective study techniques.

3. to try this out, set yourself a timer for how long you estimate learning a concept might take. now take away 20% from that estimate. you won’t be able to reach this goal with basic highlighting and re-reading techniques - but with active recall, you will.

4. once you’ve understood the concept, use spaced repetition systems like anki flashcards to force yourself to retrieve this information in a set period of time. this way, your brain will always be reminded of this concept before it could possibly forget it.

5. teach it to others as much as you can. as with the old wisdom “see one, do one, teach one”, one of the only guarantees you’ve really gotten something is when you can effectively teach it.

hope these are helpful for you!!

7 common exam/finals problems and how to avoid them:

1. didn’t perform well as you were up all night cramming? work on study schedules that work for you, with breaks, that guarantee this doesn’t happen again

2. turned up late as you got lost or got stuck in traffic? plan and practice your routine, leave plenty of time!

3. spent too much time on one question? set yourself a time mark after which you move on to the next question. better to try and answer all questions than to only answer half of them.

4. dehydration headache? set your bottle of water next to your study space and mark how much you should drink by the hour

5. feel tired and fatigued and can’t concentrate? plan your meals and find a nice breakfast meal that works for you. it’s so important to eat and drink in the morning!

6. revised before the exam, panicked and couldn’t focus? don’t revise right before it. schedule your team to have at least the day before the exam off.

7. got too nervous on an oral exam? simulate the experience as much as possible. with friends, your partner, family. even when revising, practice answering the question out loud. the more often you do this, the better.
