One thing that helps is to make reading an active process.
Don’t just read and move on. Ask yourself questions about what you’ve read, try explaining the concepts without looking at your notes, and test yourself later to see what actually stuck.
Your brain needs practice retrieving information, not just seeing it repeatedly.
are there any methods and/or ways that help you guys retain information from the books you've read? i feel as though i forget everything the moment i finish the book

This would have been perfect for me if I was still in school
THE "I'LL START TOMORROW" SYNDROME
Monday: "I'm starting today."
Tuesday: "I'll start properly tomorrow."
Wednesday: "There's still time."
Thursday: "Okay, this is getting serious."
Friday: opens 47-page PDF at 11:48pm 😂
The goal isn't to become the student who studies 8 hours a day.
Start small:
→ One topic
→ One lecture
→ One chapter
→ 30 focused minutes

More often than not, this is usually less about pure ignorance and more about ego than most people are willing to admit. For most people, when they've formed a confident view—especially one that feels insightful or has already, quote-and-unquote, blown their mind, they tend to stop treating contrary evidence as information and start seeing and treating it as a threat.
In that case, usually, and at that point, the ability to accurately assess their own understanding collapses, and they shut the door on adversarial arguments. What you'll find interesting is that the arguments, oftentimes wouldn't even be weak, it's just that they'd subtly realize that engaging with those adversarial arguments would require admitting they might not know as much as they thought.
Hence, the Dunning-Kruger pattern and the kind of defensive closed-mindedness above tend to reinforce each other, in that the less you know, the more your ego needs the illusion of competence to stay intact.
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a real psychological phenomenon where people with limited knowledge or skill in an area can sometimes overestimate their ability because they lack the knowledge needed to accurately assess their own performance.
Basically, sometimes you don’t know enough to know what you don’t know.
Try teaching what you’ve just learned to someone else, even if it’s an imaginary student.
The protégé effect describes how preparing to teach can improve your own learning in some circumstances.
Explain the topic in simple language, without reading directly from your notes. Whenever you get stuck, you’ve found something worth revisiting.

If everything is highlighted, what are you actually supposed to remember? 😭
Your notes don’t need to look like a highlighter factory had an accident.
Try this:
📍Read the topic first.
📍Close your notes.
📍Write down what you remember.
📍Check what you missed.
📍THEN highlight the important bits.
The goal isn’t to make your notes colourful.
The goal is to make the information stick.

New week checklist:
☐ Attend class
☐ Take actual notes
☐ Review what you learned
☐ Start that assignment
☐ Stop saying “I’ll do it later”
☐ Study before exam week
☐ Drink water
☐ Sleep properly
☐ Try not to lose your mind
Let’s see how many we can tick off this week.
Here are a few things you can try:
1. Stop rewriting everything. Instead of copying entire paragraphs, identify the key points, concepts, definitions, and examples. Write down only what you need to remember.
2. Try Active Recall. Read a section, close your material, and try to explain what you just learnt without looking. Whatever you can’t remember is what you need to revisit.
3. Use the Feynman Technique. Pretend you’re teaching the topic to someone who knows nothing about it. Explain it in simple words. If you struggle to explain a concept, go back and review that part.
4. Turn headings into questions. Instead of copying notes on a topic, ask yourself questions about it and answer them from memory. This helps you study with a purpose.
5. Let PeerToLearn help you study smarter. Instead of spending hours rewriting lengthy materials, use PeerToLearn to access learning materials and make studying more manageable. You can use its study-support features to help you understand difficult topics, summarize content, and prepare more effectively for exams. Less unnecessary rewriting, more productive studying.
6. Test yourself regularly. Solve past questions, use flashcards, and revisit topics you’ve studied. Testing yourself helps you identify gaps in your understanding better than simply rereading.
7. Protect your hand! Take short breaks, relax your grip on your pen, and avoid writing for hours without stopping.
Study smarter, not just harder! 🚀
