    Human memory is not like computer memory. It’s more akin to a workout. Your muscles get strong by repeated stress of a long period of time. Your brain remembers through repeated learning over a long period of time.

    Cramming for an exam is a little like cramming for a marathon. Not a good idea.

    Study in smaller time segments spread out as much as possible. Vary your study patterns and environment. Use different techniques. Connect details with concepts and narratives.
