SAM System for Academic Mastery

I stumbled into cognitive science while struggling to survive organic chemistry. Like most students, I wasted time on things that didn't really work: flashcards, color-coded notes, mind maps. Nothing stuck.Eventually, I turned to the research. I started reading about how learning actually works, and found a set of powerful techniques like free recall, interleaving, testing effects, dual coding, etc.—principles backed by decades of studies in cognitive science.
