Hello Nora,

Rapid Learner Waiting List - Next course session date: To be determined

In this email, I want to share with you the two most effective learning techniques (as determined by a comprehensive meta-analysis):

1. Distributed practice:

This is simply spreading out your practice sessions over time. So instead of studying five hours straight on the same subject, you study one hour per day, for five days.

Distributed practice is so effective because of the spacing effect. This says that spreading exposure to something over multiple sessions, separated in time, will have a better long-term impact on memory.

2. Practice testing:

This involves active learning using recall and recognition. The best way to apply practice testing is to avoid its opposite: passive learning. Don’t re-read your notes unless you’re searching for the answer to a particular question. Instead, cover up your notes and see if you can reproduce the main ideas and themes without looking at them.

This also means that if you do have access to practice questions, use them! Nothing will serve you better than doing large amounts of practice questions as the foundation to learning a subject.

Have you ever used distributed practice or practice testing methods? Hit REPLY and let me know!

Best,
–Scott
