Practice tests vs rereading your notes
Rereading feels easy and familiar. Testing yourself feels harder, and that effort is the part that helps you remember.
Why rereading misleads you
Familiar text feels known, so you can reread a page and still not be able to answer a question about it.
What testing does
Trying to recall an answer shows you what you actually know and strengthens the memory at the same time.
Use your own notes
Questions from your class material match what your teacher will ask, unlike generic questions online.
Check, then fix the gaps
Review the questions you missed and retry them later instead of going back through everything.
Make it a habit
A few questions a day beat one long session the night before.
