Diagnose your own study method — then redesign it against the curve.

Take one subject you actually have to learn for the paper test. Open a case file on how you currently study it (200–300 words):

1. Current method — honestly, what do you do now? (re-read notes? highlight? watch videos?)
2. The diagnosis — which stage does it serve (encode / store / retrieve), and where does it leave you exposed to the forgetting curve?
3. The fluency check — is your method one that FEELS effective but tests weakly? Say so.
4. The redesign — rebuild it using the two levers: where will you add retrieval (closed-book) and spacing (a schedule of widening intervals)?
5. The schedule — write the actual review dates between now and the test.

You pass when your redesign replaces at least one comfortable-but-weak habit with a retrieval or spacing move, and includes a real, dated schedule.
