4 years ago, I took Quantitative Statistics. I passed the class and did very well, but I wasn't entirely sure how at the time, it was very fuzzy conceptually. I wasn't at all sure WHY I was doing things. In the intervening years, I have read a lot of research papers, engaged in research myself and apparently, done some thinking about how these things work. Last semester, a friend of mine asked me to tutor her in introductory quan, and now this semester in quan 1. I wasn't sure, but she asked me to try and so I have been. I didnt realize how much I had internalized about the information as the time passed. I was able to speak a lot more conceptually and scaffold problems for her. She just passed her first exam in Quan 1 and I am really learning a lot from it myself. There is something about having to teach, or even say things out loud that really cements information for me.
