Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• When I review by rereading my notes it all feels familiar and I assume I know it, but the second someone just gives me the topic name and asks me to produce what’s under it, I’ve got nothing
• When I sit down to review, all I do is read my notes over and over, and they feel familiar so I assume I know them
• When I reread my notes everything looks familiar, so I tell myself I know it
• When I read my notes back it all looks familiar so I assume I know it, but the second I have to actually produce the answer from a blank page with nothing to recognize, I can’t
• I read the material over and over and it all feels familiar, so I assume I know it
