How not to study
A lot of students including my past self practice some of the worst study techniques that waste a lot of time and also gives you a false sense of achievement. They keep wailing and looking for time managing strategies and increasing the number of hours they study. These Bad techniques are often used by their peers and even suggested by their teachers and many students never ever realise that the way they are studying is not very competent.

1. Going to a lecture cold

Its a sin. Learn everything at once with full concentration. Atleast try your best to
3. Rereading Books
read it once make flashcards and burn the shit.
4. Highlighting
It just gives you a false sense of having extracted the important info from the text. When revisit the book you actually recognise the stuff. Its different from recalling.

5. Taking notes in non-quiz format
Always take notes as if you are testing your future self. Keep it QnA style for easy active recall. Anki and Remnote are Godsent for you.
