Stop rereading and start remembering! In this episode, Ryan Catholic College Guidance Counsellor Kaitlyn is joined by Malcolm to debunk common study myths and share three science-backed techniques that actually work.
Learn how to make your study sessions faster and less frustrating by working with your brain's natural learning cycles.
In this episode, we cover:
👉 Active Recall: Why testing yourself is more powerful than highlighting notes.
👉 The Power of Intervals: Using the "Pomodoro" method (25 minutes on, 10 minutes off) to beat mental fatigue.
👉 Spaced Learning: Why studying for 30 minutes over three days beats a three-hour cram session every time.
👉 Beating Procrastination: Understanding why your brain avoids hard tasks and how to "lower the starting barrier."
🔑 Key Takeaway: Studying smarter isn’t about doing less work; it’s about doing the work that actually helps your brain learn.
