What active recall means
Active recall means testing yourself before you feel ready. Instead of only reading notes, you retrieve ideas from memory and then check your answer. This makes weak spots visible.
How AI can support recall
AI can turn a document into questions, prompts, short-answer tests, and concept checks. The important part is to answer before looking at the explanation.
