TIMESTAMPS

00:55 - We know that AR and SR are legit techniques for recalling stuff, but before you can recall it you have to have learnt it first. Any tips on *learning* stuff initially?
06:57 - Exams are a month away. Any last minute tips, what you’d be doing?

11:29 - How do your techniques change 1 month 2 weeks 1 week before the exam?
12:46 - With active recall, do you make the questions as you read the book? Or do you make notes from the textbook first, and then read them, and then quiz yourself? How do you do it?
14:21 - How should I use active recall? Do past papers count.
14:46 - If you have Anki why do you still use your spreadsheet method? Surely you can do all that stuff on Anki with custom decks and filters and stuff. How do you decide what goes on Anki and what goes on Google Sheets?
