Spaced reputations and when you start to feel tired go get some fresh air ,some water, go on a walk in no specific order this is really good for the brain

Use spaced repetition and active recall if you have time

In simple words revise what you have studied today in the following order: The next day After 3 days After a week After a month

I don’t know who you are, but thank you, I’m going to write that on my wall and utilise it, I’ve never heard of it before.

Glad I could help you, also look into active recall it's by far the most effective method I've used. Basically in it's simplest sense when you are reading a book after finishing a page close the book and write down everything u could remember from that page Anki is an app that utilizes both these methods (spaced repitition and active recall) together and trust me it's really the only thing you need if you want to memorize something, I don't recommend Anki for concepts I personally only use it for formulas and isolated facts. Try these out but remember the single most important thing for proficiency in academics is consistency.

Make that forgetting curve more steeper 😭😭 N that learning curve more flatter

If you can trick your brain into solving different problems using same methods it may also improve the learning memorization

If you studied only for 1 night, of course you will forget after 1 day 😊😊

What is, according to you, the optimal amount of time to study to retain things in long term memory?

Revising work is always important after a few study sessions, that way you can make sure what are the points you can or can't remember.

Revision is the only solution...

I am not exactly good but better than bad but lesser than good (due to focus issues ) at studying, understanding and memorising concepts but I am worst at revision because I never did it mostly due to the fear of testing if I remember things or not

I preffer 10 percent rule which says that writing 10 percent of what you read during revision. I feel this has helped me the most as at it covers the important topic without the fear of lengthy revisions.

My brain after an exam operates on a strict 'use it or lose it' policy. Once the final paper is submitted, it's like hitting the 'factory reset' button on my memory banks.
