If you want science backed ways to improve your studying, we got you. 💪🏽

These are the two core concepts in scientific studying. 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

Here are some scientifically proven methods to help you prepare for your exams.

Active Recall🌟

Active recall is a method of remembering stuff where you test yourself after learning the information.

....ummmm thanks FoondaMate, what am I supposed to do with that?? 😂😂😂

🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ Do this:

1. After you read a chapter in a textbook open a notebook and try and write down everything you rememberThen look over the textbook, and see what you left out. Then try writing everything you remember again. 🧠This is a method called blurting, and it is the most effective way to study from a textbook.
2. Do past papers as a form of a studying without looking at the memo
3. This will test how well you can remember the work in a test/exam setting**.** 📝This method ensures that you are studying by retrieving information from memory - exactly what you’ll have to do in a test. And so the best way to study for a test.
4. Always, always, always go over questions you got wrong on tests 📚This ensures that you don’t make the same mistakes twice, by practicing retrieving information from memory that you forgot in the last test.

Spaced Repetition🌟

Spaced repetition means that you use active recall to remember information over long periods of time. ☀️

So you don’t just do active recall once and hope something is going to stay in your brain. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Instead, you keep going over the same content, using the active recall methods above, throughout the year. 🧠🧠🧠 To do this you need to create a spaced repetition study schedule, where you are practicing questions from the same content again and again at different points in the year. 📕📙📒

The easiest way to do this in high school is to do **one past paper per subject per week.**👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

• At the beginning of the year you won’t able to do many questions in the papers - maybe just 1 or 2. 🤷🏾‍♀️
• But by half way through the year you should be able to do most of the questions. 👩🏿‍💻
• And if you do, each week you will be revising all the content you learned earlier in the year using active recall! ❤️

This is a really easy hack to include both space repetition and active recall in your matric study schedule, and make sure you get straight As at the end of the year!!! 🥇🏆💫

Good luck with studying!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Sending hugs and strength. You got this. 💛🤖
