My teacher literally told me I have the "memory of a goldfish" in front of the whole class.

So last week my Economics teacher called me out during a revision session because I blanked on a basic concept we literally covered two days ago. He made this whole joke about how I have the memory of a goldfish and everyone laughed. It was humiliating.

The worst part is, I actually studied. I spent three hours learning all the concepts. But I realized later that I was doing one thing totally wrong which was not recalling those concepts before I ever forget them.

I got so mad that I spent my weekend coding am active recall tool to prove him wrong. I built a script where I just drop my messy class PDFs or long lectures in, and it uses AI to rip out the useless filler and generate an audio flashcard podcast to listen it while commuting. Now I just put my AirPods in and it aggressively quizzes me while I'm walking instead of staring at those concepts.

I tried doing active recall by those old methods which studytok gurus told but it didn't work as much as I now recall by using it.

I'm using it to absolutely destroy my finals next month out of pure spite. If anyone else is struggling with exam amnesia and wants to try the tool I coded, let me know and I'll send you personally (not posting it here so mods don't think I'm spamming).
