Peg system — traps, myths and repairs. The quiet failure mode is a pile of rhyming pegs that looks large and teaches little.
Scores here are relative ranks inside this atlas, not lab grades or official cut scores.
Traps
- Tourist palace — A palace you visited once will collapse under exam arousal. Use a daily route.
- Pretty but unretrievable — An elegant image you cannot name in two seconds is decoration.
- Paragraph loci — Hanging a whole statute on one hook guarantees a mash on the paper.
- No test walk — Building peg list without a closed-eye walk is interior design.
- Eve rebuild — Rebuilding the whole route the night before trades sleep for a false sense of control.
Myths
- More volume is more learning — A huge pile of unread rhyming pegs is inventory, not memory.
- Easy fluency means mastery — Recognising rhyming pegs is not the same as retrieving it from a blank page.
- The algorithm is the teacher — A queue of rhyming pegs cannot invent a missing public outline.
- Cramming equals spacing — Same-night rereads of rhyming pegs feel fluent and fail on a delayed test.
Fixes
- Split the glue — If rhyming pegs always fails, it is usually two facts. Split them.
- Honest grades — A peek at rhyming pegs is a fail, even if you then recognise the line.
- Cap the faucet — If the due pile of rhyming pegs explodes, cut new items first, not sleep.
- Map or suspend — Every rhyming pegs must point at a public outline line or it leaves the deck.
Educational atlas — not an official syllabus, medical advice, or leaked item bank. Peg system: Keep the public outline in view and treat this page as method, not a leaked key.
