Quizzing yourself beats rereading — even with zero feedback

Taking a test on material you just studied cements it in memory better than studying it again — even with no feedback on right or wrong answers. Henry Roediger and Jeffrey Karpicke showed this 'testing effect' boosts long-term retention far more than rereading, a finding since replicated across hundreds of studies and real classrooms.
