Studying for exams? How to fix Active Recall's Biggest Flaw.
#biolabcollective #activerecall #spacedrepetition #study #exams Active Recall and Spaced repetition are the most talked about study strategies on the internet, but there is one main flaw hidden beneath the hype - we don’t know what we don’t know. You might find a set of questions, turn them into flashcards, and become confident in your knowledge. But how would you, as a novice to the field, know if that set of questions is complete?
