Summary of 6 Levels of Thinking Every Student MUST Master

There are six levels of thinking that every student should master, leading to different results.

Many students struggle to reach top results because they are thinking at the wrong level.

The first level is memorizing, followed by understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating hypotheses.

Each level unlocks a corresponding result, such as regurgitating, explaining, simple problem-solving, comparison, prioritizing, and hypothesizing.

Thinking at higher levels requires more mental effort but leads to deeper knowledge and stronger memory.

To reach higher levels, it is more effective to start at level five and move down rather than starting at level one and moving up.

Focusing on evaluating and understanding rather than memorizing can lead to better retention and learning efficiency.
