Just realized I was studying the wrong way for the past two years
I finally figured out that reading the textbook over and over did nothing for me when a study group buddy showed me how he uses practice tests to learn. Has anyone else had that moment where you find out your whole method was backwards?

Ever notice how nobody talks about the way your brain's natural fog lifts when you stop trying to remember stuff and start trying to figure stuff out? That shift from passive reading to active problem-solving works because it forces your mind to connect dots instead of just staring at the picture. Practice tests basically trick you into learning by making your brain work backward from the answer, which sticks way better than just hoping it'll sink in from repetition.

Practice tests totally flipped my learning around too... felt like I wasted all that time just reading.
