Effective studying is best achieved through evidence-based strategies like active recall and spaced repetition rather than passive methods like highlighting and rereading.

“there's actually hundreds of scientific studies from the last several decades that give us a clear road map and that teach us what are the evidence-based strategies that we can use to maximize the amount that we learn and minimize the time that we spend learning it”

Active recall is best achieved through solving practice problems rather than rote repetition for technical subjects.

“it's not necessarily gonna be you know rote repetition of the same derivation over and over again that is part of it I think you only revise by doing practice problems”
