Rereading your notes multiple times? F-Tier.

追加: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Rereading your notes multiple times. F tier. You're building familiarity, and then the exam shows up and you blank out because you trained for recognition instead of retrieval. Cramming the night before the exam. Also F tier. Everything goes into short-term memory under stress, and then it's gone within 48 hours. Doing practice problems. B tier.

[00:00:19]It's good for application, but only if you do them without looking at the solutions first.

[00:00:24]>> Taking practice exams under timed conditions. A tier. You're training yourself to perform under pressure.

[00:00:30]Space repetition over multiple days.

[00:00:33]Also A tier. Reviewing at specific intervals moves information into the long-term memory.

[00:00:39]>> Making elaborate study guides. D tier.

[00:00:42]You spend hours organizing information, but you never test yourself on that.

[00:00:46]>> Active recall where you close everything and write from memory. Definitely S tier for memorization. This is exactly what exams eventually test, practicing retrieval without prompts. Teaching the material out loud. Also S tier. If you can explain it simply, you understand it. If you can't, you just found your weak spot.
