This short film shows you how to use retrieval practice to improve your understanding and develop your recall to identify gaps in your knowledge. While most study time is spent trying to get knowledge into your brain, then out again when exams roll around, retrieval practice helps to get it in and out at the same time. It's been shown to create stronger memories than the familiar techniques of re-reading, underlining and highlighting.
