Common Questions
Why is metacognition important?
Students with strong metacognition are better at spotting gaps in their knowledge. They don't just "study hard"—they study efficiently.
How can I improve my metacognition?
Pause frequently to ask yourself: "Do I really understand this?" and "Could I explain this to someone else?".
Does Masterly help with metacognition?
Yes, by providing immediate feedback on active recall questions and showing clear progress stats, Masterly forces you to confront what you don't know.
Is highlighting a metacognitive strategy?
Usually no. Highlighting is often passive. A better strategy is to read a page, close the book, and try to summarize it mentally.
