Analysing your IQ
Please Wait
Discover scientifically-proven learning techniques that dramatically improve retention and understanding. Learn smarter, not harder.
How you learn matters as much as what you learn. Evidence-based techniques like spaced repetition and active recall can double or triple retention compared to passive re-reading.
Spaced repetition leverages the spacing effect—information reviewed at increasing intervals is retained longer. Active recall (testing yourself) strengthens memory retrieval pathways more than passive review.
Hundreds of studies support these techniques. Testing yourself (even without feedback) improves retention 50%+ over re-reading. Spaced practice produces 100%+ improvement in long-term retention compared to massed practice.
Test yourself on material instead of re-reading. Close the book and try to recall key points.
Review material at increasing intervals: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month.
Mix different topics or problem types rather than practicing one type repeatedly.
Explain concepts in your own words. Connect new information to existing knowledge.
Combine verbal explanations with visual representations (diagrams, mind maps).
Take an IQ test to measure your baseline before implementing these strategies.
Take IQ TestActive recall (testing yourself) and spaced repetition are the most research-supported techniques. They outperform re-reading and highlighting by 50-100% for long-term retention.
Education correlates with higher IQ (approximately 1-5 points per year of schooling). More importantly, effective learning builds crystallized intelligence and knowledge that supports problem-solving.
Paradoxically, slowing down and using effortful techniques (testing, spacing) produces faster long-term learning than quick cramming. Focus on understanding over speed.
