How to never forget material again while preparing for the exam

The exam time is imminent and with it the fear that, despite long study sessions, piles of scripts and a vast amount of knowledge, what you have learned simply won't stay in your head. If you're looking to study law or are already in the middle of it, you know this dilemma. The law exam in particular, characterized by a variety of examination schemes, definitions and differences of opinion, demands everything from students. But what if there is a method with which you never have to worry about forgetting again?

Repetition is the key — a proven strategy

The current state of learning of many students is characterized by despair and the feeling of fighting against an unstoppable flood of information. The inability to save the material in the long term often results in the fear of not having relevant content ready for the exam. However, this is exactly where the learning method presented comes in, which not only simplifies the learning process, but also ensures that the difficult subject matter of law is retained in the long term.

Step 1: Reorganize yourself!

The physical version: Start with a simple purchase — a folder with twelve compartments. Design it so that you have two compartments for each day of the week. This folder will become your loyal companion in everyday learning and will help you to manage the subject matter effectively.
Alternatively, the digital version: Simply upload all your documents to Learnboost and organize them there in digital folders.

Step 2: Prepare material and actively process knowledge

The analog version again: Next, get red and white index cards as well as DIN A4 paper. The color division helps you to differentiate between definitions and disagreements, while the DIN A4 sheets are used for examination schemes and their respective points of contention. The next step in your new learning process is creating flashcards as you learn. You can write down everything you want to remember right away. This approach forces you to actively process what you have learned and thus increases the chance of saving it in the long term.
As a digital version, you can simply have your index cards created with AI at the push of a button with Learnboost and edit them yourself so that everything is really correct. The special thing here is that all your flashcards are created on your original study materials and you can be sure that the content that you have in your scripts is actually displayed. Of course, you can put the same mental effort into reviewing and creating your flashcards, everything just works more efficiently and with less paperwork.

Step 3: The art of daily repetition

Repetition is a crucial point in learning. After just one day, the brain has already forgotten 80% of what it has learned. By repeating the material daily the following day, you can counteract this trend and effectively anchor what you have learned in long-term memory.

Step 4: Repeat over the longer term

Structured repetition is essential in order to remember the material over a longer period of time. After the first repetition the following day, put the documents back in a compartment for the second repetition after a week. Finally, a third repetition follows after one month. This methodical approach helps you to permanently anchor the knowledge in long-term storage. In Learnboost, you can set in Study Mode how many successful repetitions you rate a flashcard as learned, so you can easily keep track and follow your learning strategy with a focus on content instead of organization.

Success is in your hands

With this strategy, you can stand up to oblivion. Using this method requires discipline and a constant learning rhythm, but it will be worth the effort. In combination with Learnboost, which is an all-in-one study app, you create an optimal learning environment. Summaries that the app generates for you, flashcards that you can create using the app, including learning mode and a tutor AI that helps you if you have any questions, complement this system perfectly.

You'll be surprised how efficient and sustainable your learning will be. Not only will you notice an improvement in your long-term memory, but your ability to solve legal problems and retrieve relevant decisions and opinions will also massively improve.

Recognize that gaining legal expertise requires more than simply memorizing information. It is about understanding, linking and actively applying what you have learned. With the help of the presented methodology and support from Learnboost, you will not only prepare for the exam, but also lay the foundation for a successful career in law.

Free yourself from the fear of not knowing enough at the decisive moment. With the right strategy, a strong will and the right tools at your side, forgetting the stuff becomes secondary. Take on the challenge and achieve successes that you have only dared to dream of so far!
