This method consists of studying in 25-minute focused sessions, followed by a 5-minute break. After 4 sessions, you take a longer break (15–30 minutes). It helps maintain focus and prevent mental fatigue.
This method organizes information in visual diagrams, with a central idea in the middle and branches that represent related concepts. It makes understanding and memorization easier because the brain remembers images and connections better.
This technique is about explaining a topic in simple words, as if you were teaching it to a child. If you can’t explain it clearly, it means you need to study it more. It’s very useful for deep understanding.
This method is for studying long texts:
1. Survey: Skim through titles and headings.
2. Question: Turn titles into questions.
3. Read: Read looking for answers.
4. Recite: Explain what you learned in your own words.
5. Review: Go over the most important points at the end.
Instead of studying everything in one day, you review the same topic several times on different days. Example: study a topic today, review it tomorrow, then in 3 days, then in a week, and so on. This strengthens long-term memory.
It’s a note-taking method that divides the page into 3 parts:
Left column: keywords or questions.
Right column: notes and explanations.
Bottom part: a short summary.
It helps organize information and makes reviewing easier.
Instead of reading passively, you ask yourself questions about the topic and answer them without looking at the text. This forces the brain to retrieve information, strengthening memory.
These are cards with a question on one side and the answer on the other. They’re useful for reviewing definitions, formulas, languages, etc. It’s recommended to use them along with spaced repetition.
