01
Find how you begin revisiting material
Review can involve organising what you learned, trying to remember it or working with an example. Notice your usual first move and choose what to add next.
A step to add
Notice what your usual review may leave for later.
A practical review
Pick one action for a topic you are actually learning.
02
Three ways to revisit what you learned
These are actions you can combine, not fixed learner types. The test compares preferences rather than measuring memory or knowledge.
Organise the main points
Create a short structure or summary of the material.
Recall and check
Try to recall the material without looking, then check it.
Work with an example
Use the material in an exercise or concrete example.
How your review profile is calculated
Each of 12 choices adds two points to one approach. Percentages show your selections, not your accuracy on the material.
- 1We count your choices for each of the three approaches.
- 2The highest total selects your main profile; another positive score can provide a secondary approach.
- 3Tied scores stay tied in the bars. A fixed order selects the heading when needed.
Think of your ordinary study sessions
- Think of material you have already encountered.
- Choose your first review action rather than the method that sounds best.
- Use examples from courses, hobbies or everyday learning.
FAQ
Questions about study review
This original BrainApps questionnaire compares three ways of starting a study review. Use your profile to plan a concrete review session and add a step you do not usually choose.
Does this test assess my memory?+
No. You choose preferred review actions; you do not answer knowledge or memory tasks.
Does the result assign a fixed learning type?+
No. All three are review actions you can use, and your choice may change with the topic or stage of study.
Can I use all three approaches?+
Yes. You can outline a topic, recall its points without looking and use one of them in an example.
What if two scores are close?+
Plan a review with both approaches. Use the third when it addresses something your session has not yet covered.
