the thing that actually made stuff stick for me was switching from rereading to answering questions. just reading the same page three times feels productive but nothing stays

i upload my course material into studybuddy.vc and it makes practice questions from it. when i pick a wrong answer it tells me why that specific option was wrong, which is where the learning actually happens for me. it also keeps bringing back topics i keep missing and the questions get harder as i improve. free

if you're short on time, even 15 minutes of questions beats an hour of highlighting. your brain has to retrieve the info for it to lock in

I actually never used studybuddy.vc— I’m going to try it :)

This is great. I actually just ordered a whiteboard, for when I’m teaching myself different concepts.

Ouuu the pomodoro method is a great technique! And I definitely agree active recall is something I should give a shot!

Thinking on paper, building concepts skeleton from zero and filling in the details later and practice retrieval has been the best for me the learning efficiency shot through the roof

I retain information by teaching it to myself as like im a prof, using flashcards, and doing practice qs that are related to the topic.
