Study what is uncertain.
Use evidence—not feelings.

Attempt retrieval, check against assigned sources, and allocate the next session using what you actually remembered.

Confidence is not evidence

Attempt retrieval before choosing “confident.” Allocate more time to incorrect and uncertain ideas, then check again after a delay.

PRIORITY FROM RETRIEVAL EVIDENCE
Add concepts and attempt retrieval.

SESSION SEQUENCE
1. Retrieve without notes.
2. Check with assigned sources and correct errors.
3. Explain why, how, cause, contrast, or connection.
4. Mix topics instead of practicing one format only.
5. End with a no-notes check and schedule the next delayed review.
