There are many techniques to help improve retention and make the most of your study time.

You might find something useful in the bonus series course How to Learn.

I write my wrong answers down in a spiral notebook. I will not use that answer again. If I am not understanding, I will use Google, Stack Overflow, Geek for Geeks etc. to seek more information on an answer. I also take notes in my notebook. Almost every answer is presented in a video. I am improving after listening to lots of videos. I also got some books on Javascript such as Eloquent JavaScript 3rd edition. I try to provide good answers to other students to help where I can. No one compares to Steven Parker. He is the best on Treehouse.
