Our jobs typically require us to learn vast amounts of information, often having to read and try to retain as much as possible. Most of us fall back on 'learning' skills we picked up in school, such as highlighting and re-reading important points. Research, however, indicates that this is all wrong! (figures!)One study showed that students who read an article and were quizzed on what they read retained over 50% more of the information even a week later than those who simply read it. You don't have to rely on a teacher or boss to quiz you over your learning... use self quizzes to help you gauge and improve your retention of the information.
A small trick that can help you learn better and faster - now THAT's a Success Tip!
