Smart tips to boost learning retention

Want to remember what you learn? Try these simple and proven methods from Harvard University.

Don’t revise everything in one go. Review your notes at regular time gaps to make them stick better.

Your brain remembers better when it sees the same info again and again over time.

Testing yourself helps you recall things faster.

When you explain a topic to someone, you understand it better, too.

Don’t just copy what’s on the board. Write key points in your own words to help your brain remember.

Make short notes, draw diagrams, or use colour to highlight important ideas.

Use these methods regularly, not just before exams.
