Build a retrieval tool for your own paper test — and run one round.

Pick real content you have to know for the closed-book paper test. Build ONE retrieval tool and actually use it once (200–300 words + the tool):

1. The content — what you need to know, and how you’ve been revising it so far.
2. The tool — make one: a set of recall questions, a blank-page brain-dump prompt, or a flashcard deck. Show it.
3. Run it cold — do one round closed-book. Write what you produced.
4. Check — open the source: what did you get right, and what holes did the blank expose?
5. The plan — when will you space the next round, and which gaps will you target?

You pass when your tool forces PRODUCTION from memory (not recognition), you ran it closed-book, and you named the gaps it exposed — because the gaps are the point.
