​What is

Many people ​have the habit of forgetting something important or something not needed within a few days after they have learnt or discussed about it. Here is the FORGETTING CURVE where it shows how students forget the information they learnt over time when there is no attempt to review & remember the learned material.​

What is the secret way of learning and retrieving our information effectively?

• Forgetting curve

• Active recall

• Remembering

• High-yield learning technique

​Active recall is the secret to learning how to remember and retrieve information effectively. This learning principle proposes that we need to engage in retrieval practice to remember what we learn. Through this process of retrieving information from memory, we consolidate our learnings into long term memory. This study method is all about testing yourself. You can use this technique by practicing exam questions or utilizing flashcards for memorization. Instead of re-reading your notes, you can test yourself by turning your notes or learning material into questions. Turning your notes into questions for revision can be an effective way to pinpoint important themes and essential facts.
