How to study

Five research-backed habits that make any subject easier: test yourself, space it out, mix your practice, focus in short sessions, and make a plan you will keep.

5 lessons, about 16 minutes in all. Take them in order.

  1. Test yourself instead of rereading 3 min

    Pulling an answer out of your memory makes it stick far better than reading it again.

  2. Space it out 3 min

    Short reviews spread over days beat one long cram.

  3. Mix your practice 3 min

    Shuffling different kinds of problems feels harder, and teaches more.

  4. Focus in short sessions 3 min

    Work in focused blocks with real breaks, and put the phone in another room.

  5. Make a study plan you will keep 4 min

    Decide when, where and what, in one "if–then" sentence.
