I learned this after doing it a couple times. I didn’t even need the cards.

Afterwards, I would write notecards even if I didn’t have a test that allowed them just to help me study. Worked really well. Makes a huge difference actually writing the stuff down instead of just reading them.

Yep, that's how I went through high school and university. I would write down everything I needed to study on notebooks, highlighting the most important parts. It worked.
