Steps to Create Your Plan
- Identify a subject you need to study.
- Schedule spaced repetition sessions over several days.
- Use elaborative interrogation to connect new material to what you know.
- Interleave different topics to reduce interference.
- Incorporate music as a mnemonic for key facts.
- Ensure adequate sleep after study sessions.
Example Plan
For a biology exam, plan to review notes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesday, quiz yourself on the material. On Thursday, study a different subject. Use a song to remember the stages of mitosis. Get at least 7 hours of sleep each night.
