"Revisiting" for Test Prep

I've read many studies about the brain and memory, and one thing that seems clear is the importance of "revisiting" material for a memory boost. Revisiting in test preparation means studying a topic one day, setting it aside for a day or two, and then going back to it.

The studies show that you learn the most when you study, step away, and then return to information a few times.

This finding reinforces the importance of starting early when it comes to preparing for a test. You don't have to start early and study constantly. You should start early, study a few hours, close the book, and repeat after a day or two.
