Recap

The Testing Effect

Before testing comes learning.

There are many ways to approach the learning process. For now, here are a few basic techniques to get you started.

  • Identify what’s important.
  • Mark what you don’t understand.
  • Separate the concepts from the facts.
  • Understand and summarise your concepts.
  • Look for the links between your learning and what you already know.
  • Organise and structure your learning in a way that makes sense to you.

This step requires you to decide what information is worth turning into questions. Remember, it’s always better to cut too much rather than not enough. Always remember that time is your greatest asset.

Your questions should be clear in what they are asking. You want to look at them in a month’s time still understand exactly what they’re asking.

Here are a few aspects of a good question:

  • Laser focus – Be direct. Keep the questions focus on a single point or piece of information.
  • Simplicity – Keep the questions simple. This doesn’t mean easy; it means intuitive. The questions should be clear and make sense. You want to read these questions in 6 months and know exactly what they’re asking.
  • Short answer – The best questions require a short answer. If you need a longer answer, consider breaking the question into two questions.
  • No room to move – Ambiguous questions are useless questions. There should only be one way to clearly answer the question.
  • How and why – The best questions are how and why questions. How’s and whys prompt us to think deeply and understand how things work instead of superficial knowledge.

The best time to answer your questions is Later.

Answering your questions immediately is a waste of time. You know the answer, so there is no effort or recall involved. Without these two features, questioning is much less effective.

By waiting a few hours to a day before answering your questions, you approach them with a fresh mind. You no longer have the answers easily available in the background of your mind. Now you need to mentally work in order to find the information and answer your questions. The harder you work to remember something, the better you’ll remember it.

Key Idea

There must be some breakdown in memory in order to build it up even stronger. Your memory functions exactly the same as your muscles in this way.

Card 2

Key Idea

Short flashcard style questions work best for quickly remembering many facts.

Card 3

Key Idea

Application Questioning is an extremely effective type of extended question which works best for deeply understanding a topic. For more information, refer to the lesson “Application Questioning”
