Steps
- Read through old textbook, organize the contents into Q&A form
- Compile the questions into a deck of flashcards.
- Input the deck of cards into a memorization software/website
- Setup a time, everyday (say 2 pm), review the selected cards from the software
- The software will automatically generate the desired selection/amount of memory to deal with each day.
- Repeat until the software no longer pop up unknown cards.
Why this is helpful
- Memorization is essentially a cycle-repetition work, no tricks can be made. So the best method is to make the repetition convenient and efficient.
- Q&A form stimulates active thinking and reasoning, rather than hard, tedious reciting.
- The selection of cards is made by application of the memory curve.
- The memorization process actively feeds backed into the software, helping it to decide which questions need more work. Therefore modifies the memory curve.
