Reading Is Not Studying

Simply re-reading notes or textbooks is passive learning and leads to quick forgetting. Instead, engage actively with the material:

  • Create a study guide with questions and complete answers.
  • Teach the material out loud, as if explaining it to a class.
  • Generate real-world examples that relate to key concepts.
  • Use concept maps or diagrams.
  • Develop symbols to represent ideas.
  • For non-technical subjects, focus on summarizing, contrasting, and re-evaluating ideas.
  • For technical subjects, work through problems and explain each step.
