Study Smarter, Not Harder
Revision can often feel overwhelming. At Greene’s, we advocate for the “Tutorial Review Method,” a technique derived from the Oxford style of learning.
The Step-by-Step Method:
- The 15-Minute Teach-Back: After studying a topic, try to explain it to someone else (or even an empty room) for 15 minutes. If you stumble, you don’t know the material well enough yet.
- Active Recall: Instead of re-reading notes, use flashcards or past paper questions to force your brain to retrieve information.
- The Feedback Loop: Work closely with a tutor to review your mistakes immediately while the logic is still fresh in your mind.
Conclusion By shifting from passive reading to active engagement, you can significantly reduce study time while increasing retention.
