Feedback

Which is a better way to study?

A) You study an entire book.
B) You study one chapter at a time and test yourself after each one.

You will learn better and remember more using method B. Frequent feedback is an important part of learning for several reasons:

First, it shows you how much you are learning, which helps keep you motivated and interested in studying. If you never give yourself feedback, you may lose interest or your mind may wander.

Second, it helps reinforce the information in your memory by using repetition.

Third, it lets you know what information you haven't learned yet and might need to study again.

To give yourself feedback, you might study with a friend and quiz each other, or you might make up your own test questions and quiz yourself.
