I use flash cards by organising things into paragraphs, and then writing one word of each sentence onto the flashcard. Then I repeat the paragraph over with the key words until I know it from heart :smile:

I mean it depends on the person, it usually works really well for me and helps me pick things up quickly :smile:

Just a way of making condensed notes for me, but easier to sort out the key points and keep reducing them.
