Active Recall

50% higher test scores vs. re-reading. Close the book and recall from memory.

Active Recall is the single most effective technique for test performance, proven to boost scores by 50% compared to passive methods. Close the textbook, put away the notes, and try to remember what you just read from scratch — that painful feeling of struggling to retrieve information is your brain building stronger neural pathways. Active recall works because it strengthens the retrieval routes in your memory, and self-testing beats every passive study method ever measured, reducing forgetting by 60% after one week.
