    Oh my God, I always forget what I study within 2 days and I feel like this would be the perfect way to revise and remember (especially all the dates and difficult names in history). I love how fast paced the video was and how simply you explained everything. Thanks a lot :)

    I use active recall too, it’s saved me! 😊
    how I use it is by reviewing my class work after school straight away,
    making a flashcard on the content accordingly to the spec, then review it during the week. ❤
    Also, nice video!

    • @thetalhaaa
      @thetalhaaa  4 місяці тому +1

      Amazing!
      I used to also do it straight after school but scientifically leaving 1 hour 15 - 1 hour 30 minutes between school and starting your flashcards / active recall session seems to be the sweet spot.
      have you tried spacing it out?

      Definitely not in most cases… lemme explain
      It’s not about getting the questions right - it’s about making sure you get the knowledge for that topic right.
      An exam question is a manifestation of a part of a topic that you need to try and get right - it’s only one part of the topic.
      You need to test yourself on the REST of the topic - by making questions instead.
