Not everyone studies the same way, and if you’re listening to this PrepCast, you may already know you prefer audio learning. This episode is dedicated to strategies that maximize retention when studying through listening. We’ll talk about active listening, note-taking techniques that work without visual aids, and the power of spaced repetition. You’ll learn how to revisit glossary episodes regularly to reinforce memory and how to use real-world analogies as mental anchors. For example, linking ITIL’s concept of value to something as familiar as a streaming subscription can help the definition stick.

We’ll also share tips on combining audio study with other methods, such as flashcards or short written summaries, to reinforce learning through multiple channels. The goal is to turn passive listening into active engagement. By using these techniques, you’ll find that your study time becomes more efficient and less overwhelming, especially when balancing a busy schedule. This episode was produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
