Revision: Popular But Low-Utility Techniques
- Rereading: A widely followed method of passively studying again what is already studied, rereading has been proven to be ineffective and inefficient.
- Highlighting: Another popular method is proven by the study to be a mere ‘safety blanket’, and may hinder our learning by disconnecting certain aspects of information, due to us paying attention to only the highlighted stuff.
- Summarizing: Making notes seems to be an extremely reliable revision method, but is proven to be partially effective for people who are skilled in the art of summarizing information, and not for others.
