Many students spend hours rereading notes, but simply reading information over and over isn’t always the most effective way to learn.
Active recall means challenging yourself to remember information without looking at your notes.
Try asking yourself questions, covering your notes and explaining concepts from memory, or using flashcards to test what you know.
The more your brain practices retrieving information, the easier it becomes to remember it later.
Learning isn’t just about taking in information—it’s about being able to recall it when you need it.
