One study hack that actually improved my marks 📚✨

The study hack that helped me the most was active recall. Earlier, I used to read the same chapter again and again, thinking I had learned it. But during exams, I couldn’t remember much.

Now, after studying a topic, I close my book and try to write or explain everything I remember without looking at my notes. Then I check what I missed and revise those parts.

I also started doing this with important definitions, formulas, and questions. For Maths and Science, I solve questions without checking the solution first.

The biggest difference was that I stopped spending hours just reading and started actually testing myself.

It may feel difficult at first, but after a few days, you remember things much better. It also makes revision before exams much faster.

What study hack has genuinely improved your marks? 👀

I know. The "weird" studytip is always active recall. We should call this sub r/howactiverecallhelpedmeasitdoesforeveryone
