ExamHack
Focus plan: choose your time, get next actions
Built on how people actually learn.
ExamHack borrows from three boring but useful ideas: past exams reveal patterns, retrieval beats re-reading, and time limits make prioritization matter.
Past exams show structure
Prior exams reveal recurring topic types, question formats, and marking habits. A better signal than guessing from page count alone.
Educational measurement and test design research.
Retrieval beats re-reading
Testing yourself outperforms passive review because the act of retrieval strengthens memory.
Roediger and Karpicke, Psychological Science, 2006.
Focus beats uniform coverage
When time is limited, selective effort on high-yield topics is more useful than treating every reading as equal.
Research on desirable difficulties and effortful practice.
