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

• I know this material well now, but I keep "studying" it by re-reading and reviewing, and it’s stopped teaching me anything
• I read the material over and over and it all feels familiar, so I assume I know it
• I only ever revisit a topic by re-reading that one unit while it’s still familiar, which feels reassuring but is too easy
• I read this stuff and it all feels familiar while I’m looking at it, but the second I close the book it’s gone
• I learn something and feel like I’ve got it, then never look at it again until I suddenly need it
