You’ve probably had this happen before: you spend hours rereading and rewriting notes, highlighting what feels like the whole page, and left feeling like you’re putting way too much effort in to be blanking on exams. It’s a frustrating feeling, especially when it feels like you put in so much work. The problem isn’t effort, but rather, it’s how you’re studying.
Most students default to passive studying without realizing it. It feels productive, but it’s one of the least effective ways to actually learn and retain information long-term.
