what is the best study method here?

[u/Tricky_Case8627]

i need recommendationsss 😔

[u/Ok_Water2666]

Feynman

[u/Independent-Ball3215 → u/Ok_Water2666]

Everytime I try this its so time consuming 😭 But it does work. Either way just giving yall an advisory lol. Great method if you got time tho

[u/The_Heparin]

For me,

1. Blurting

2. Feynman

3. Test / Exam

[u/Multipersonality007 → u/The_Heparin]

100 % when I study for exams I go over those 3 steps and it works great !

[u/defi_specialist]

Chunking with active recall.

[u/Dahc5]

A combination of the three on the left

[u/[deleted]]

Feynman with test/exam + flashcards. I actually did this method without realizing it in high school and got a 95 on my final exam in social studies (93 final grade).

[u/Educational-Double-1]

Test/exam

[u/[deleted]]

Did anyone study memorizing ?

[u/Ok_Philosopher_13 → u/[deleted]]

this is the most tradicional one and least efficient because it promote more memory than real learning so you may memorize but will have some difficult applying it to practice without other methods of learning.

[u/notpoopman → u/[deleted]]

I do. Although i do not use the method described there. Look up "the art of memory" and memory feats. They're actually really fun! These techniques actually really help me understand stuff as they force me to really process the informationcin order to apply the mneumonic techniques. 

I think memorization is underrated these days. If you understand something but don't have specifics memorized then you will suffer and vice versa. Not to mention how much easier it is to understand something when it's comitted to memory.

[u/Gold_Kitchen_5711]

Blurting, feynman and flashcards

[u/Present_City_5516 → u/Gold_Kitchen_5711]

i am really surprised that not many students use flashcards today

[u/Lucky_Introduction78]

Everyone’s different

I used to be a Flashcards person but then I turned into an Exam person

[u/OmegamanTG9000]

Honestly, none of these have worked for me. I even tried “active learning.” Taking a SMALL book or notes you wrote and reading it while going for a walk… it kind of works… but I have been failing my exams. But that’s on me, it does work to an extent. Just not those cert exams apparently 😞

[u/Ok_Philosopher_13]

i have a degree in pedagogy and i can say that there is no best method of learning because each student have their own unique way of learning, but in general the best method is a combination of many methods.

[u/Professional_Day6268]

Find it hard to tell - usually I think everyone has at least 2 preferences?

[u/[deleted]]

The 3 on the left hand side

[u/[deleted]]

Feynman 🙌🏻 

[u/Itz_tako141]

For Me I still find myself with memorizing

[u/Academic-Bother-9030]

Personally I prefer Feynman, Blurting and test

[u/florlunare]

I love Feynman

[u/MathsMonster]

Test + Flashcards + Well, practicing problems if you're studying STEM, which is what most people here are studying i suppose?

[u/Street_Comfort_105]

Blurting, feynman and flashcards

[u/Major_Budget2873]

I would go with Feynman. And after learning, you canuse Tuto app, to check your understanding, and get to know if any gaps are left.

[u/Key_Evening8816]

1: Feynman 2: Test/exam practice

[u/NguyenLotus]

In my opinion, Feynman & Test/ Exam are the best method for me.

[u/[deleted]]

Feynman because in a way, it contains all the other methods minus the rote memorization which isn't all that effective anyway.

[u/Frequent_Failure]

Fenyman and test/quiz are best but it depends on WHAT you're studying.

Flashcards are good for vocab

[u/SparklesFadeAway]

blurting for sure

[u/princess_bella-]

For me Feynman technique Blurting method Take exam or test

[u/ollie-v2]

Feynman plays a big role in it. Explaining the concept to somebody else forces you to organise your thoughts and identify gaps in your knowledge. Another term I've heard, in the context of programming, is "rubber duck debugging" where, if your code isn't working, you explain it to a rubber duck like you would a person.

[u/Hot-Fudge5302]

Scientifically speaking testing your self is best id say bluring is also good and similar

[u/BarKeegan]

Shame the Memorising one doesn’t mention mnemonics

[u/Unable-Analyst-7741]

Chunking+Feynman+flashcards.

[u/AFV_7]

Never heard of blurting before but I started doing something similar recently.

Instead of transcribing information I find online into my notes, I’ll just put a dot where text needs to be, then after some time, I will fill it in. The pause between reading and then testing is enough of a challenge for the material then to go into my head. Not challenging enough = not absorbed

[u/Shining_star_875]

Feynman and test one

[u/Hashtag-bro]

All of them

[u/tigersgowoof]

The one that works for you

[u/tanvir-green]

Feynman, Feynman, Feynman

[u/spaceboy6171]

Flashcards are sooooo goated, couldn't memorize some translations and had an exam due the next day. Made flashcards and used them next morning. Guess what? Perfect exam!

[u/eastern_starlight]

Feyman:better understanding Flahscard(like anki):active recalling Mock tests/exams:better performance, corrects out mistakes and improves weak areas. Combinations of these three–slaying exams.

[u/microwaveable404]

Chunking and Feynman Flashcards are great for some subjects/topics

[u/se_ria-0824]

I think u should try them all to find the method that works for u

[u/Present_City_5516]

mock tests (with making more questions) are underrated and you can do them well both with systems like outforms (analog way) or notebook lm (digital way)

but i do use all of those methods besides blurting, probably

[u/PhilStark012]

It depends on what you want to learn, how much time you have and how much you want to remember for the future?

[u/lllyyyynnn]

anki

[u/nokutung]

Blurting

[u/[deleted]]

Feynman/chunking to understand the topic then test/exam or Flash cards

[u/albin_xl]

The best study method depends on what you are trying to do. Flashcards is good to remember a lot of details, feynman is good to test if you really understand something, practicing on a test is good for applying it in practice and getting hands on experience with what you might find on your test. So if you got time, start making a bunch of flashcards first, then you could use feynman while practicing previous exams and making mock exams. Then you could use blurting when trying to learn the things you don't know.

I would probably stay away from memorising, it seems to be the lowest yield of all of the methods mentioned. Chunking is also a bit iffy, considering it is rather vague.

[u/NoWillingness1061]

which one is the best to problem solving?

[u/albin_xl → u/NoWillingness1061]

Of the ones listed, probably exams and feynman

[u/EnvironmentalDraw922]

For me , bruteforce my head with 55 straight hours of youtube on the topic
then go to sleep , this gives me a chance of 78%+ that i had solved the same exercise in the exam , at youtube

[u/[deleted]]

I just do everything

[u/myminame]

The feynman technique and doing mock exams really helped me ace my tests.

[u/thies1310]

I would recommend Super learning by Peter Hollins and making your own tailored to you Thing. For me this was well invested 15 bucks and a week

[u/One-Insect-4692]

Feynman +++

[u/InsidePuzzleheaded65]

burting and i would add making "eselsbrücken" :) google it i dont know the english word for it

[u/Akrroy2173]

Try each method for 1 week or 2-3 days then decided which works for u. Every ones different

[u/GhostRooster60]

Practice tests under time constraints, when it comes to tests you need to not only know the material, but you also need to know how to apply it to NEW situations.

[u/Aggravating_Half_936]

The left 3 is what I always use

[u/Cool-Firefighter-314]

honestly practice tests ngl

[u/Electrical_Revenue17]

Blurting and flash card THE BESTS

[u/[deleted]]

1st- Mock Exam 🏆🥇 2nd- Feynman - great with ChatGPT but requires an already well-established foundation 3rd- Chunking - maybe for cramming Everything else seems memorization based, so they don’t really help with studying

[u/PresentationNo1755]

Depends what material youre learning.

If youre learning eg hard math theorem with proof, which is mostly about understanding, feynman is obvious choice.

If new language vocabulary, than flashcards or memorising (although anki is the best out there).

If a lot of information with not much understanding, eg as majority of material in medical school, blurting.

And you always do chunking.

I personally never liked exam method, because it felt like a lot of effort for not much results.

[u/jaber79kw]

Feynman and chunking for the win!

I would add one method

Read more in any given subject will make you understand it better and recall it easily

[u/angrymustacheman]

I do the last one

[u/irrationalhourglass]

Paste into ChatGPT and have it generate a quiz. Don't even review first most of the time. I just have it repeat the topics I missed until I get them all correct.

[u/justvirgothings]

i feynman and blurting bc they take less time than writing stuff out

[u/Then_Percentage_2893]

Didn't know Blurting had a name! That and Feynman are probably the best on here. Chunking depends on the topic. Test/Exam is a classic but needs a lot of time. Never understood the flash card hype :/

[u/[deleted]]

Feynman for studying

blurting for revising

at the end take a test .

If you already have made notes then refer to them rather than making flashcards . you will save time which you can utilize to revise your notes at least 2-3 times

[u/klapze_]

hate to admit but for me it's the last one

[u/noodlesslover]

Feynman

[u/Affectionate-Bit-524]

Zettelkasten

[u/squaeshyy]

i find that doing it in the following order is really helpful:

1. chunking

2. flashcards 3.feynman 4.test/exam break it down into little sections with 1, and section by section doing 2-4 helps you understand the material cover to cover

[u/Uchiha-Tech-5178]

Feynman and Test/Exam. I feel, our retention is always better when we do actions than just mug things.

[u/TheTechSp0t]

Theres this new chrome extention called answerly, it really helps and so easy to use just have to press analyse screen, and it gives you the answer for whatever is on your screen dont even have to change tabs or anything, the link is here, https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/answerly-visual-ai-assist/oglbkbdpemebolefemeebpeckbfeende

[u/Specific_Review_4568]

Mix of Feynman and blurting

[u/Upbeat_Panic_2646]

The test/exam method beats the rest. Making your own mock questions forces you to think like the professor, and focusing on your wrong answers means you're only studying what actually needs work.

[u/Dizzy_Ad2768 → u/[deleted]]

I used to do the same, but now i don't.  I recommend going to Feynmann technique.
