Do I need to revise If I just look at notes?
The implication for revision is clear: just looking at your notes won’t help you learn them. Instead, you need to reorganise the information in some way – whether by making notes of your notes, thinking about how what you’re reading relates to other material, or practising writing answers.
Do you spread out your revision instead of cramming?
Our finding confirms lots of other research: if you want to study effectively, you should spread out your revision rather than cramming. This is easier said than done, but if you are organised enough, you can spend less time revising and remember more.
Why is it important to retain information in life?
Retaining information can make our lives easier, especially in college. It makes us feel smarter knowing we can recall information we studied when taking a test. It also comes in handy in life so we don’t have to do a search on the Internet or in a book to know what to do.
