Prioritize Learning Skills
- Focus on learning skills alongside content for long-term retention.
- Different learning techniques suit different classes and disciplines.

- Easy strategies like rereading may create familiarity but not deep learning.
Practice Retrieval
- Use retrieval practice by testing yourself or taking practice exams.
- This boosts retention and identifies areas needing further study.
