Study Tips

Habits that actually work

1Review notes within 24 hours of class - retention drops sharply after the first day.
2Test yourself instead of re-reading. Active recall is far more effective than passive review.
3Space your study sessions over multiple days rather than cramming the night before.
4Remove your phone from the room. Even face-down, its presence reduces focus.
5Teach the material to someone else - or out loud to yourself. It exposes gaps fast.
6Sleep is part of studying. Memory consolidation happens overnight, not at your desk.
