How to study from your textbook

Reading a chapter twice is not studying. Read the book inside Memmo and turn the chapter you just read into questions, flashcards, a summary or a podcast.

How do you study from a textbook?

Step 1: Read it where you study

Find your course book in Memmo and read it in the app, so the chapter and the study tools live in the same place instead of a PDF in one window and notes in another.

Step 2: Close the book and answer questions

Testing yourself beats re-reading. Turn the chapter into a quiz and find out what actually stuck, with each question pointing back to the passage it came from.

Step 3: Come back before you forget

Make flashcards from the same chapter and let Memmo schedule them, so chapter one is still there when you reach chapter twelve.

The quiz finds exactly what I'm weak on and drills that.
