These are 4 main principles for effective study or learning: S - spacing T - testing I - interleavingC - categorizing

STIC method

If you combine these 4 principles in study, it will be much more effective than ever ever.

<ul><li>Active recall what you've learned or simply test yourself.</li></ul>testing yourself 1 is much better than rereading multiple times.<ul><li>The more you test yourself the more you remember</li></ul>

Testing 

<ol><li>You SHOULD test yourself even before you learned some topic</li><li>Test yourself before, during and after learning the specific topic</li></ol>

How Do You Test Yourself?

<ul><li>Leave the space between your topics </li><li>You probably would forget something</li><li>But after you retrieve it, you'll remember it even more than if you don't forget</li></ul>

Spacing

<ol><li>If you want to learn somethiniyg, you should put a structure and categories for information, than just learning</li><li>It's about building a tree of knowledge</li><li>Tree of knowledge is helps you understand the subject better</li></ol>

Categorizing

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Mix the problems of what you want to learn </li><li class="ql-align-justify">It will struggle more (it should be hards and pain in the ass) </li><li class="ql-align-justify">But it will be more easier and effective in the result</li></ul>

Interleaving

The harder you gonna get to this information remembered, the longer it will stick in your brain

If you find it easy that you don't learning it at all
