Smart Study Skills
The act of trying to remember ideas, through techniques like flash cards to practice tests, actually helps make it easier to remember those ideas and connect them to each other.
This simple method of spacing out your studying makes a big difference in helping to form lasting memories.
Use your own words and add details to the concepts you’re learning to make them your own and make it easier to recall them later.
Instead of studying the same things in the same order over and over, try mixing things up with Interleaving.
It’s easier to remember ideas that we can visualize and connect to ideas we already know. Learning and creating specific exampl es of abstract concepts does just that.
Combine visuals like pictures, diagrams or your own drawings, with text gives your brain more to latch on to and more pathways to remember.
Featured Skill: Retrieval Practice
Retireval Practice is one of the most effective skills and you can use it for multiple subjects. It's a great place to start trying out the skills on this site.
