Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When a study session feels good I walk away assuming I learned everything in it, and when it feels like a slog I assume none of it stuck
- I decide what still needs work purely on vibes
- The stuff I’m most certain I’ve nailed is exactly what blindsides me on the test
- When I reread my notes everything looks familiar, so I tell myself I know it
- I hammer one topic in a single long sitting until it feels totally familiar and call it done
Practices that may help
- Global vs. local JOL separation
Rate individual items separately from your general sense of "how the session went" — they diverge.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Restudy decision protocol
Use a defined decision rule — not a feeling — to determine which items get additional study.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Regression-to-mean awareness in JOLs
Discount your highest-confidence JOLs most — they are the most likely to be inflated.

Base your confidence rating on whether you can recall the answer, not on whether the material feels familiar.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Encoding variability to reduce JOL inflation

The Johari Window - Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned
Judgments of learning (JOLs) are in-the-moment predictions about how well information will be remembered later. Thomas Nelson’s research showed JOLs are often inaccurate — biased upward by current processing fluency — causing learners to declare items "learned" prematurely and under-study material they will later forget. Delayed JOLs and retrieval-based checks produce more accurate predictions and better study-time allocation. - Getting Results the Agile Way (AGS), Made Practical
J.D. Meier’s Agile Results (also called Agile Getting Started or AGS) is a time-management framework built on a simple rule: name three outcomes at the day, week, month, and year level, and focus your effort on completing them. The Monday Vision / Daily Outcomes / Friday Reflection rhythm is a practitioner structure grounded in goal-specificity and reflection research, not a formally studied protocol. - Delayed judgment of learning
Wait several minutes after study before rating how well you will remember — early ratings are systematically too high.
