Study Smarter, Not Harder: The Ultimate Guide

We've all heard the phrase "study smarter, not harder," but what does it actually mean? It's about using techniques that maximize retention and understanding while minimizing wasted effort.

Active Recall

Instead of passively reading your notes, try to recall information from memory. This strengthens neural pathways.

Spaced Repetition

Reviewing material at increasing intervals helps move information from short-term to long-term memory.

The Role of Technology

Apps like Nerdy can support these techniques by automatically generating quizzes and flashcards from your lecture notes.
