Module 2 · Study faster, without learning less Lesson 6 of 15
Make your own question bank — and mark it
Ask for questions in a fixed format with the answer and a one-line reason, then ask for the same questions with the answers removed so you attempt them first, then ask it to mark your answers and name the concept behind each mistake. A wrong answer you understand is worth ten you only read.
The concept
Ask for questions in a fixed format with the answer and a one-line reason. Then ask for the same questions with the answers removed, so you attempt them honestly first. Then ask it to mark your answers and name the concept behind each mistake. A wrong answer you understand is worth ten questions you only read.
The mistake is reading the answers and calling it revision — that only ever feels like knowing. Attempt first, then be marked, then read the reason. The reason is the part that turns one wrong answer into ten right ones.
Write 10 interview questions on SQL joins for a fresher.
Format per question: the question, the answer, and one line on WHY.
(After reading them, send the same request with:
"Now give me the same 10 questions with the answers removed."
Then send your answers and ask: mark each one, and name the
concept behind every answer I got wrong.)Worked example
Write 10 interview questions on SQL joins, each with the answer and why it is the answer. Then give me the same 10 with the answers removed so I can try first.
Your practice task
Build a 10-question set for one topic, attempt it before looking, and write down the concept behind every mistake.
Do this before moving on. Reading a solution teaches the shape of it; typing it teaches you.
Key takeaway
Ask for questions in a fixed format with the answer and a one-line reason.
