Answer Key — Study Skills in the AI Era

2.Pulling information from memory without looking at your notes. Testing yourself, not re-reading.

3.25 minutes of focused study + 5 minute break. Repeat. Start with the hardest subject.

4.Read a section, cover it, write/say what you remember. Check. Repeat for anything you missed.

5.Key Idea + Example + Question. A note-taking format that forces understanding, not just copying.

6.Explain the concept as if teaching someone else. If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
