Good news: they often take <em>less<\/em> time than the usual habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-mc-sticky-mint is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In short<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Test yourself rather than rereading (retrieval practice).<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Space out your reviews rather than doing everything at once.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Work in short, focused sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Bonus: mix up subjects and get enough sleep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why we waste time when studying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people study by rereading and highlighting. It feels good, because everything seems familiar. But that familiarity is misleading: recognizing information isn't the same as being able to recall it. The result: a lot of time for little gain. A major review of research on study techniques (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013) ranks rereading and highlighting among the least useful methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 1: test yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every time you dig an answer out of your memory, you strengthen it. This is called <em>retrieval practice<\/em>, or the testing effect. In a famous experiment (Roediger and Karpicke, 2006), students who tested themselves on a text remembered much more of it a week later than those who reread it for the same amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In practice:<\/strong> flashcards, questions out loud, writing out the answers, past exam papers. Anything that makes you produce the answer without seeing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 2: space out your reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reviewing three times for ten minutes over a week helps you remember better than thirty minutes in one go. Each review done just as you were starting to forget slows down the next round of forgetting. That's <a href=\"\/en\/repetition-espacee\/\">spaced repetition<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In practice:<\/strong> go over an idea the next day, then a few days later, then the following week. An app can handle this schedule for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 3: short, focused sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attention drops over time, especially with a phone within reach. 25 minutes of real focus is better than an hour broken up by notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In practice:<\/strong> the <a href=\"\/en\/comment-reviser-efficacement-grace-a-la-methode-pomodoro\/\">Pomodoro technique<\/a>, 25 minutes of work then a 5-minute break, notifications off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two bonuses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mix up subjects.<\/strong> Alternating several chapters or types of exercise in the same session forces you to choose the right method each time, which prepares you better for the exam.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Sleep.<\/strong> Sleep helps consolidate what you've learned. Sacrificing a night to study more is rarely a good deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before \/ after<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Common habit<\/th><th>Instead<\/th><th>Time<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Reread your notes 3 times<\/td><td>Test yourself 3 times with cards<\/td><td>Same or less<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2 hours the night before<\/td><td>15 minutes a day for 8 days<\/td><td>Same<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Studying while checking your phone<\/td><td>25 min of focus + 5 min break<\/td><td>Less<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Make long study cards<\/td><td>One question, one short answer<\/td><td>Much less<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How MemoCard.io applies these principles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You create a list, then: you <strong>test yourself<\/strong> (flashcards, Learn mode with spell-checking), the app <strong>spaces out your reviews<\/strong> and brings back what's tricky more often, and each session takes <strong>a few minutes<\/strong>. You have nothing to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-mc-sticky is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try these principles on your next list: MemoCard.io is free on iPhone and Android.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/fr\/app\/memocard-io\/id6463154623\">Download on the App Store<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=memocard.io\">Get it on Google Play<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can you really learn twice as fast?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on where you start. For someone who mostly studies by rereading, switching to self-testing and spacing often makes a big difference to results, for the same amount of time.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Do these methods work in middle school?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. They work at any age. For younger students, just make the sessions shorter.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Where should I start?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With self-testing: it's the simplest and most rewarding change.
