Study Tips & Best Practices

Active Recall: The Foundation of Effective Learning
Active Recall: The Foundation of Effective Learning
Research-backed technique proven to enhance memory retention

Active recall is the practice of actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing material. Studies show that testing yourself through quizzes and practice questions significantly improves long-term retention compared to simply re-reading notes or textbooks.

How to Use Active Recall Effectively:

  • 1.Create questions first: Before reviewing material, turn key concepts into quiz questions
  • 2.Test yourself regularly: Quiz yourself on material within 24 hours of learning it
  • 3.Review incorrect answers: Focus extra attention on questions you got wrong
  • 4.Space out practice: Distribute your practice sessions over days and weeks rather than cramming
Effective Quiz Creation Strategies
Best practices for creating high-quality study materials

Creating effective quizzes is crucial for maximizing learning outcomes. Well-designed questions promote deeper understanding and better retention through strategic cognitive engagement.

Key Principles:

  • •Focus on concepts, not memorization: Target understanding over rote recall of facts
  • •Use varied question types: Mix multiple choice, true/false, and open-ended questions
  • •Include distractors wisely: Wrong answers should address common misconceptions
  • •Align with learning objectives: Every question should map to specific knowledge or skills
