Study Skills Worksheet: Active Recall

Exam preparation lesson 9: Active recall vs re-reading · Set 904 · 40 questions

Study tip (Test, don’t re-read): More effective: testing yourself, recalling from memory, explaining it aloud, practice questions, quizzing a friend, self-made flashcards. Less effective: re-reading the chapter, highlighting lines, copying notes neatly, glancing at notes. After reading a page: close it, recall it, check, and fix what you missed.
