STUDY SMART, NOT HARD: Evidence‑Based Learning Checklist

YOUR BRAIN TRAINING PLAN

Use one technique per study session. Check the box after you use it. Rate yourself from 1 (needs work) to 5 (mastered).

SECTION 1: DAILY STUDY TECHNIQUES

1. Retrieval Practice

Action: Close the book / hide your notes. Write down or say aloud everything you remember from the section. Then check for accuracy.
Self‑assessment (1–5): _____ / 5

2. Spaced Repetition

Action: Today I reviewed material from: ☐ 1 day ago ☐ 3 days ago ☐ 1 week ago ☐ 1 month ago
Use Anki / Quizlet → schedule automatically

3. Interleaving

Action: Do not study one topic > 30–40 min. Mix different subjects or problem types in one session.
Example: Math → History → Math → Physics
Self‑assessment (1–5): _____ / 5

4. Elaborative Interrogation

Action: Ask «Why is this true?» / «How does this connect to what I already know?» Answer aloud or in writing.
