Study and Revision - Claude Cheat Sheet

Setting up a study project that guides instead of answers, then the loop: turning your own notes into recall, application and explain-why questions, testing yourself closed-book, spacing by the widening gap, and keeping an honest log of every error.

On the sheet:

- The study loop: notes, questions, recall, spacing, log

- Start with one project per subject: why a project called study gives generic answers

- Make it teach, not tell: instructions that guide instead of answer

- Studying, or not: the honest line between learning and outsourcing

- The knowledge shelf: curate your own notes, do not dump

- Turn your notes into questions: recall, application and explain-why

- Retrieval, not review: why answering closed-book builds memory

- Flashcards, only where they fit: facts yes, processes and arguments no

- Spacing: widen the gap when right, shorten it when wrong

- The honest log: the question, the outcome, and the exact error

- The six days before: a plan weighted to what you do not know

Two A4 pages, printed front and back, sized to print once and keep beside you while you work. Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.

It pairs with the The Study Assistant and The Revision Machine books, so you can learn each idea in full and then revise it here in two pages.
