Jumping from one book to another, or watching 5 different YouTube channels for the same topic? It leads to confusion and wasted time. Stick to a few high-quality materials and revise them multiple times. Depth matters more than variety.<\/li><li><strong> Studying Without Regular Revision<\/strong><br \/>Reading something once and forgetting it a week later? Totally normal\u2014unless you revise. Make short summaries, quick bullet points, or flashcards. Schedule weekly review sessions to make sure the info sticks.<\/li><\/ol><p><strong>Bottom line:<\/strong> Stick to a plan, and don\u2019t keep changing materials every week.
