testing or teaching a friend! Reviewing your notes out loud and practicing active
recall can improve your memory as well as your speed. This method helps a lot
with remembering important points. Active recall allows you to test yourself to see
what you already understand and what you need to learn.

questions and content. This enhances long term recollection, where you’re not just
cramming but actually learning information to remember in the long turn.

revision. Segregating your material and organising it to your comfort, enables you
