Last time I tried the Feynman technique I was escorted from the building for impersonating a professor.
Seriously though, back in college I used the Leitner system until I was comfortable enough with the info that I could explain it in layman’s terms. Though back in the day I just called the Feynman technique the rubber duck method thanks to my brother who was in IT and actually got everyone rubber ducks one year as a gag stocking stuffer.
I use a combination of all of these and Anki-fy whatever makes sense to do so.
If you don’t mind, please explain the Anki-Fy method to us.
No OP, but Anki is an app that you can use with your own custom flashcard packs, or find them online. You review a card and mark how well you remember it, with the hardest ones resurfacing more quickly and easiest ones more seldom.
Spaced repetition is more efficient because it is based on refreshing something in your memory at the (theoretically) optimal intervals to transfer it from short-term to long-term memory. So at any time, the app should surface the cards you need to see the most.
It does actually work and isn’t pseudo-science. It got me through the bar exam after law school.
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to us!
It seems like a great step up from just physical flashcards!
It helped you study for the Bar; great to hear that you made it!
Anki is a digital flash card app for phones, so I guess they convert whatever they’re learning to the Anki format.
Thanks for the quick yet simple explanation!
