It's not your fault...
Most study advice is cowardly: “Do active recall” or “Use spaced repetition” Study gurus either don’t understand learning… or they profit from your confusion. And you're drowning in Anki cards while you exams draw closer.
Here's a free, science-backed upgrade to flashcards.
SAM — System for Academic Mastery — is my passion project. It combines little-known cognitive science principles into a seamless study workflow that works for any subject.
You don't want more, you want better. That’s what makes this system different. No fluff. No vague “mindset” advice. No hype about “motivation.” No drawn-out lectures on the “fundamentals.”Just a step-by-step walkthrough of what saves time, why it works, when to use it, and how to do it, all in a two-hour read.

"[SAM] made Ochem feel like high school chem..."

"My roommate thought I was on adderall."
SAM is hard.
If regular studying is yoga, SAM is powerlifting.
Anyone selling you an easy fix isn’t being honest. A core theme in the science of learning is desirable difficulty: your future life only gets easier if you put in the effort now.
For many of us "studying" can be a day-long cycle of half-assing and self-loathing. If you're like me, you'd rather sweat for an hour, feel good about it, and relax the rest of the day.
