    I know this is /c/memes, but do you use any memorization techniques? Spaced repetition is a basic but extremely useful one.
    Cramming is terrible for learning because you need to repeat things with longer and longer intervals to truly remember it long-term. Thankfully learning with this method can be LESS work even though it’s much more effective.

    When the test ends and suddenly you remember the answer to that one question.

    Worst feeling I’ve had in my academic career, bar none.

    When I took my final for my last Calc class in college I told my professor beforehand that I had a bucket of math knowledge in my brain and after the exam I was gonna dump it out and fill it with beer. He didn’t think it was funny.
