Study Tips That Work

The link is here.

I especially liked
  • #1 - Adopt a growth mindset
  • #4 - Test yourself
  • #8 - Get handouts prior to the lecture
  • #9 - Believe in yourself
#4 was misleading however, since the articles says "time spent answering quiz questions (including feedback of correct answers) is more beneficial than the same time spent merely re-studying that same material", and follows up that thought with, "self-testing when information is still fresh in your memory, immediately after studying, doesn’t work. It does not create lasting memories, and it creates overconfidence."
