More like how to memorize effectively for exams. Maybe take a step back and realize that systems the rely on exams and memorization (like tech interviews), don't produce greatness.
- Jtsummers 5y agoThe techniques discussed aren't just about exams. In fact, if you just want to pass exams you can still mostly cram the information into your head for a lot of them. What the author discusses is ways to study (how often, how long, rotate through subjects or focus on one?) that lead to better long term retention.

- tdeck 5y agoMany skills involve some declarative learning (i.e. memorization) on the road to mastery. You can approach that declarative learning explicitly, or you can simply accumulate it over time while practicing whatever you're trying to learn. In many cases the former can be much more efficient and get you to mastery faster, so if that's your goal it's useful to know strategies for memorizing things.
