Frequently asked questions
How does the planner space out reviews?
Study days start close together and spread out over time, and they're closer when the exam is near. With less than a week to go, you study every day. Harder topics come back on more of your study days than easier ones.
What do I do on each study day?
Each day has a purpose: a first pass through your topics, then recall while they're fresh, then practice, then mixed questions like the exam's, and a light review at the end.
What is spaced repetition?
Reviewing material in several sittings spread over time, instead of all at once. A review of ten study techniques rated spreading study out as one of the two most useful (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
