147. Overcoming Retrieval Resistance
Apr 07, 2024 Episode 147

Retrieval practice is the shortcut to learning faster and remembering more, but nearly everyone under-utilises it (at least some of the time), even once you know about it and why it matters.

Why?

Today I'm breaking down the big 5 barriers to consistent retrieval practice that I most commonly see, and show you how to overcome them.

  • Episode 69. Rose's student story (high school student)
  • Episode 71. Divine's student story (accounting professional exams)
  • Episode 73. Michael's student story (school / university student career)
  • Episode 75. Charlie's student story (law conversion exams)
  • Episode 108. Sibo's student story (board-level medical exams)
