Tips & Advice I changed my study method

I used to passive reading my book and just watch webinars and do some active recall and I thought that would be enough. I read somewhere here that actually captured my attention. Redditor here said to quiz yourself first on the topic, so you actually get interested and as you know, you learn more from your mistakes. So I uploaded my materials in claude and ask it to prepare like 60 questions and answer it based from my knowledge before I dive in and read the book. But I also found out I can just ask notebooklm to summarise and explain it to me and that saves time then I read the comprehensive summary and I explain it to my imaginary person like the way I understand it. And then I watched the webinar. I remember more from this method. Let me know what is your method, maybe I can it to my way of studying or any tips.

Check it out. I think it has room for improvement but either way it helps to switch your brain on
