Try Recall Before You Re-read

When studying, familiar pages can feel like understanding. Try a small check before opening them again:

1. Close your notes and explain the idea in three sentences, from memory.
2. Reopen them and mark what you missed or got wrong.
3. Choose one gap to focus on next.

This doesn’t grade your ability; it gives your next study session a clearer target. The useful question is not “Did I look at this?” but “What can I explain—and what still needs work?”
