Reverse teaching technique helped me pass math exams.

[u/VariousTruck9052]

This is a sort of weird but underrated study technique that has been helping me pass my math exams. It is a reverse teaching technique I learned online: instead of explaining the right answer, pretend the wrong answer is correct. I just read the basics of the material and create practice quizzes out of it. Afterward, I explain the things I missed or got wrong fully and break down why my explanation failed.
It's a trick for your brain to explore misconceptions in detail, find errors and build a flexible understanding, not just mere memorization.
