It is used to recall information, like trying to remember the sentences while not looking at it. For example:<ul><li>When memorzing facts, I read it then close my notebook and try to remember the fact. </li></ul>This is a valuable skill to memorize what you learned! My reccomendation is using it for concepts and facts that need to be memorized first before anything else.

Active Recall 📒

The PlanYour plan failed, the path is blocked. But you made alternative paths. Time to do plan B.

This technique involves imagining the words, making them visual. Like "tree" we think of a tree. Imagery is so simple but effective, a lot of people read and don't understand because they don't apply this! <ul><li>Imagine the concept in your head, it will store it since it is a visual and easy to remember. </li></ul>Happy about the techniques? Don't worry there is one more. ✧(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Imagery 🎨

Highlighting or underlining random texts and remembering them is a form of distinction. Making information stand out, one more eye-catching than the other making it more valuable for the memory. For example:<ul><li>The information and persuasiveness of a book determines it's value. </li></ul>The word 'book' is bold while 'information' and 'persuasiveness' is underlined. To stand out than the other words.

Distinctiveness

Encoding is the means of inputting information in the long-term memory. There are many techniques in this catergory here is the map of techniques:<ul><li>Distinctiveness</li><li>Imagery</li><li>Memory traces</li></ul>Keep in mind there are many more encoding tricks that exists, I just picked the simplest and effective ones! This principle is really helpful when your tests are long like 3-4 pages (it stores in long memory)

Encoding

The TestWhen you take the test, it's not filled with passive reading. It's filled with questions needing you to recall the information.

The basics of studying, are these simple yet highly effective principles. Here is the blueprint, a map on the fundamentals:<ul><li>Active recall</li><li>Encoding </li></ul>You can start studying when the teacher is about to distribute the papers and still get passing grade! (Maybe, it's not proven yet by scientists)

The Fundamentals Of Studying 🏛

Between a house and rope, we value a house rather than a rope.

When you go through your memories, you don't see a variety of words. You see the visuals, mostly an eyes perspective.

In the art of studying, we have the fundamentals: active recall which is recalling information and encoding. It has multiple techniques such as distinctiveness, imagery and memory traces.

Summary

Finally the last technique of encoding is memory traces. This is where you put the information in a variety of memories through your senses, acting, or anything. For example:<ul><li>I saw the information with my eye, I read aloud for my ear to hear. In the test, I remember hearing and seeing the information. </li></ul>As you see, you have a bunch of paths to information to not forget some of it!

Memory Traces ⛳

Did you know that throughout this course I have been using distinctiveness to gather your attention? Yep, I have been using this for my whole account 😺.Applying these will increase your chances in passing even if you just studied when the teacher is distributing the papers. Anyways me enviz gotta go, bye bye (つㅅ･`)･ᵇʸᵉ 😎

Ending 💝

Studying is the art of recalling. Don't be passive, stay active and recall.

Hello my name is Enviz, aka Eisen which is my real name. To get the most out of this course, you may need these tips:<ul><li>Have notes written down</li><li>Apply what is learned</li><li>Active recall (frequently recall the knowledge you learned)</li></ul>

How To Get The Most Out Of These Texts?

Are you studying the day before the exam? Or are studying while the teacher is distributing the papers?Either way this course will serve as a guide in studying in all situations, even when the teacher is distributing. Master the fundamentals and techniques, and you will survive every test (maybe)
