What is Active Recall?

me: Do you remember how you learned multiplication?
you:  I just quizzed myself and had others quiz me.
me: That's right! You used a technique called active recall.
you: I did????? Sounds fancy.

Active recall is a study technique that involves actively stimulating your memory during the learning process. Instead of passively reading or reviewing material, you engage with the information by trying to recall it from memory. Actively retrieving information helps strengthen your memory and improves your ability to recall it later. This "memory weightlifting" forces you to recall your bar exam rules -- not just recognize them.

Think of it like this: the more you wrestle with the law, the stronger your legal grip becomes. By the time the bar exam rolls around, you'll have a firm grasp on the rules and be ready to tackle those tricky questions on torts, contracts, and more.

How to Use the QList? 

1:  Ask yourself every single question.
2:  Answer every single question out loud.
3:  Be honest. Did you get the answer correct? You don't need a verbatim answer, but you do need an accurate answer.

It's that simple.

• Don't worry that you don't know the answer at first.
• The answers are in the QList - just in the form of other questions.
• Just keep asking and answering the questions and you'll see that you are actually learning the materials. Unbelievable but true.
• The QList shows you what you really know and what you don't. If you can answer the question consistently. You know you know.
• It's like mental weightlifting for law: the more you engage with the material, the stronger your understanding and recall become.
