Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're discussing how our mind deals with failure, and why making mistakes can actually lead to better learning.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why being wrong when highly confident in the answer is a powerful way to absorb information
Why guessing on multiple choice questions doesn't lead to learning
A look at how kids deal with their mistakes
The concept of memory reconsolidation
Fixed versus growth mindset
Practicing by rewriting questions and quizzing yourself
