meir G>until kollel you basicly follow sidrei hayeshiva with some personal shinuim allowed
meir, I understand that an institution is allowed to have their own style, but I think personal needs are primary. At least, it is my understanding of Mishlei. If there is a mismatch between a student and an institution and there is no accommodation, the student can choose to leave to another yeshiva. I was taught there are pros and cons in learning in one place v. many. In one place, you’ll get all material systematically, on many places, you get introduced to multiple styles of learning. Ideally (according to the Rav who taught that) you start in one place first and then expand.
Specifically, on repeating material – psychologists recommend active recall of he material for better moving it from short-term to long-term memory: discuss with hevrusa, each to someone else, practice/show what you learned (maybe brochos, don’t try magical cucumbers as R Eliezer & R Akiva did in their learning).
