In general, if you are not coming up with some kind of a takeaway for the problem that you've just studied...then you wasted your study time. :)

These problems that you're studying will never be the exact problems you see on the real test, but you might see similar problems. "Similar" does not mean "it's the same problem but with some different numbers or words." Rather, similar means that the two problems share something in the underlying reasoning that needs to be done to get to the answer.

So every time you finish working on a problem, ask yourself, "What's the ONE thing that I want to remember and be able to recognize if I see a similar problem that tests the same thing?"

I usually limit myself to 2 takeaways, maybe 3. No more than that, though, or you're likely to overwhelm your brain and then remember none of it.
