The Principle: Instead of passively rereading notes, actively retrieve information from your brain. This strengthens memory pathways. Spaced repetition complements this by scheduling reviews at increasing intervals, right before you're about to forget.

How to Apply:

• Use digital flashcards for facts, dates, and definitions.
• After reading a chapter, close the book and write down everything you remember (blurting).
• Create your own quizzes and test yourself regularly.

The Principle: Explain a complex concept in simple terms, as if you were teaching it to a child. If you get stuck or use jargon, it reveals a gap in your understanding.

How to Apply:

• Pick a tough topic (e.g., fiscal deficit, judicial review).
• Write or say an explanation using only simple language.
• Review the source material to fill the gaps you identified, then simplify your explanation again.

The Principle: A visual thinking tool that helps structure information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, and recall ideas. It organizes complex information around a central concept.

How to Apply:

• Place a central topic (e.g., "Photosynthesis") in the center.
• Branch out with related concepts (light-dependent reactions, Calvin cycle, factors, importance).
• Use colors and symbols to connect ideas across different branches.
