Preparing for exams can feel like too much sometimes, but Noji is here to streamline the process. Follow this guide to study smarter, reduce stress, and excel in your exams!
Step #1: Choose Your Algorithm and Use Noji's Cram Mode
Noji offers two main types of study algorithms: with and without Spaced Repetition.
If you have over a week: The Spaced Repetition algorithms are ideal for long-term retention. They create a custom review schedule based on your interactions, ensuring you review material just before it's likely to be forgotten.
If you’re short on time: Opt for the General Algorithm. This mode reviews all your cards sequentially without the spaced intervals, perfect for last-minute cramming. While not intended for extended use, it’s effective for intensive review sessions.
For an optimized approach: Begin with Spaced Repetition to build your foundational knowledge, then switch to General Algorithm for a comprehensive review and added confidence.
Step #2: Create and Prepare Flashcards
When studying, you can choose between:
Pre-made decks: Access a vast library of over 50,000 decks crafted by others. These can save significant prep time and provide high-quality content.
Custom cards: Crafting your own flashcards can deepen understanding and enhance your memory retention, though it requires more time.
💡Small Tip: Collaborate with peers to build and create decks together. Noji supports real-time collaboration, making it a powerful tool for group study.
Step #3: Optimize Your Learning Strategy
Maximize your study effectiveness with these Noji features:
Fill-in-the-Blank (Cloze): This feature hides specific terms or data to help you learn in context. It’s great for focusing on detailed information.
Reverse Cards: Use this to review cards from both sides, reinforcing your understanding of the subject.
Step #4: Maintain a Consistent Review Schedule
Efficient time management is crucial for exam success. Implement these strategies:
Dedicated Sessions: While cramming can be effective, regular, focused review sessions are more beneficial. Allocate specific times for comprehensive flashcard reviews.
Microlearning: Integrate brief 10-15 minute study sessions into your day. Every review session contributes to overall learning.
Keep in mind that each subject requires a specific approach so don't forget to tailor your study process according to your needs and deadlines.
Step #5: Reflect and Refine
Continuous improvement is key with Noji:
Edit Flashcards: Revise or update cards that you find not so helpful. Simplify language, split complex concepts into separate cards or add images.
Reorganize Decks: Structure your decks by subject and topic to keep your study materials well-organized. Avoid combining all cards into a single deck.
Experiment: The more you use Noji, the better you'll understand its features and algorithms, allowing for a more intuitive study experience.
