ITT : STUDYING TECHNIQUES

I am monitoring this thread for such info as well.

Best way for me:

Get a book:
1)go thru what it is about
2)open chapter
2.1) read chapter subtopics and look at pictures to understand what theyre gonna write about.
3) read chapter fully
4) write summary without book, then compare summary to chapter and insert key words if you missed some points.

Review summary same day in the evening, once the next day, once next week, once per month.

If you really want to enforce the information consider using "chain / link technique" to memorize key words or " russian doll", but it is very slow unless you really put an effort to teach your brain visualization.

Ive tried taking notes, feynman technique etc. but they really slow you down.

Imho. feynman technique should only be used when you dont understand what you are reading, and should not be done during the first reading. Only after chapter is read and you dont understand whats going on.

contd.

You have a book, so the idea of note taking is not to copy paste what you have in book, but to memorize it. Thats why you try to recall from memory the chapter and write a summary.

You can also do mind-maps if it helps.

I usually did the minimum of what I needed, obviously changes for each scenario, which usually was going over study guides, practice exams, and old homework. Notes would be reviewed in the process but I never went through them like a book and never bought the texts lol. Got me that 3.6 without trying hard.

Memory palace, Mnemonics, and the ever so famous Leitner system (you know them as flash card system). Take this advice with a grain of salt these techniques are for the most part a memory hack of using your short term memory kind of like a ram where you encode only temporarily to be used on a test only to be shortly forgotten.
