Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using recitation (repeating information out loud) as you study helps practice retrieving information from memory, which can improve memory recall during tests. A, B, and C are all incorrect or potentially harmful advice. It is important to continue reviewing and practicing material even after you can remember it without errors, massed practice (cramming) can be less effective than spaced practice, and taking a test on an empty stomach can lead to distraction and decreased performance.
