I have been trying to finish up a side project (that I dislike greatly), and with the holiday weekend it has turned into a famine for my EPPP studying. I hadn't looked at my flashcards for four or so days and only relied on listening to the audio files (AR and AATBS) here and there for any review. Hence, the ass-kicking that I got this morning when I reviewed my flashcards.
So, I learned that it is not wise for me to take such a long hiatus without at least reviewing some of my flashcard material, especially those that I don't know that well. It occurs to me that this is not a "Oh my God I'm going to fail!" move, but it is a good lesson on how not to go about studying if I want to do well.
Strategies that have worked for me to keep relevant info in my brain have been pairing the audio materials with a review of flashcards (or other means of reviewing the content you have already gone through) on a consistent basis. Not necessarily daily with all of the content areas, but especially reviewing the material that I have just lately learned a couple of times before going lighter.
Other strategies that have been helpful for you all, EB, MH?
Back to it! (exclamation point is more for self-fulfilling prophecy reasons, not current level of motivation)
That is the most awesome picture...
