Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- The stuff I’m most certain I’ve nailed is exactly what blindsides me on the test
- 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
- When I reread my notes everything looks familiar, so I tell myself I know it
- Right after I read something it feels totally locked in
- I keep being so sure I’m right and then being wrong, and I have no way to see whether my confidence actually means anything
Practices that may help
- Regression-to-mean awareness in JOLs
Discount your highest-confidence JOLs most — they are the most likely to be inflated.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - 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 - Retrieval-based JOL
Base your confidence rating on whether you can recall the answer, not on whether the material feels familiar.

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. - Delayed judgment of learning
Wait several minutes after study before rating how well you will remember — early ratings are systematically too high.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Track your calibration across many predictions
Score your confidence levels against outcomes over dozens of predictions to find your systematic biases.
Decision Journaling: Learning to Decide Better Over Time - 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 - Score your own past predictions to calibrate your outside-view use
Keep a forecast log and score it — you cannot improve calibration without feedback on where you were over- or under-confident.
The Outside View - Commitment-forcing before feedback
Write a definite answer and confidence rating before seeing correct feedback — never the reverse.
Judgments of Learning: Why You Misjudge What You’ve Learned - Maintain a scored prediction log
Record predictions with explicit probabilities and score them when they resolve.
