Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):Multiple choice tests are the worst way to study: - They let you get by on familiarity and recognition - yes this, not that, circle C, move on - Open-ended short answer or long answer questions force you to recall the information, which takes a far greater degree of mastery - One exception: the trick questions on the GRE, LSAT and MCAT, where the obvious answer is the wrong one unless you actually know the material @hubermanlab
