Some would say that a 23 year old is already a grown up but everyone ages differently.

OH, im doing the whole 'separate the flashcards ya get wrong'.. i just did a run through of my g codes and m codes for a class on quizlet and thats their whole gig.. repeating the cards ya get wrong. plus i researched study hacks and they said to just go over the ones ya got wrong since the synapses have already connected in short term or long term

That’s cool. I feel a little bit if I had explained the why instead of just the how at the get-go I probably would have been more helpful.

Basically it boils down to pin pointing what you don’t know and transferring the information from short term to long term memory while not wasting time with the stuff you already know.

Also on the 45 minutes on 15 minutes off study pattern that 15 minutes off helps ensure the knowledge is in long term memory storage where it needs to be. If 25% down time seems too much read a text from another subject during the 15 off.

I also think you should try the three column note strategy instead of flash cards sometimes because it has the advantage of more time on what primary school teachers describe as “eyes on text”

got a 81% on my biology midterm with all the studying i did. it was 100 questions, so i got 19 wrong. my next exam is 4 chapters too so im breaking the chapters into chunks of chapters instead of mixing all the cards together. i know for myself ill remember them better if i do them in a pattern rather than random shuffle. ill mix them up after the 10th time through

until then, they staying chunked up

If the questions aren’t going to be presented sequentially on the test make sure you can recall the information in isolation.

It may be a better use of your time to reread the information from the text instead of spending a lot of time studying your flash cards in sequential order. Just a thought. Cue some basketball player looking up at my post like he’s thinking it over lol
