Some study techniques give you far more for your time than others. Here are five worth adopting.
- Active recall: test yourself instead of re-reading.
- Spaced repetition: spread your learning over several days.
- Explain it out loud: if you can explain it simply, you know it.
- Interleave topics: it strengthens understanding.
- Take breaks: your brain processes material while you rest.
