Study from your notes with answers hidden until you attempt each question

At a glance

Milan Gami turns lecture notes into Claude practice questions, answers from memory, and checks learning on a separate quiz. This workflow is listed under Learning, Active Recall, Exam Preparation.

What they did

1) Prepare readable lecture notes for one topic and a separate instructor-provided practice quiz to use afterward. The author's example used hypothesis testing and p-values. 2) Give the notes to Claude and request practice questions of increasing difficulty, with solutions withheld initially. 3) Commit to an answer from memory before asking Claude to check it. Request an explanation of your particular mistake, then continue through the remaining questions instead of passively reading solutions. 4) At the end of the week, take the separate practice quiz under timed, closed-note conditions and compare the score with your earlier baseline. Use that check to judge whether the practice improved recall beyond the chat itself.

How it went

The author reports 84% on the topic's end-of-week quiz versus a prior 58% baseline.

Worth knowing

Thin or disorganized input notes produced vaguer questions. The reported scores are one student's observations.
