Spaced repetition is the most scientifically proven memorization technique. It exploits how memory works to make learning 200% more efficient.

How It Works

You review information at increasing intervals: 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days. Each review strengthens the memory. Miss a review and the interval resets.

The Forgetting Curve

Without review, you forget 70% within 24 hours. With one review at the right time, retention jumps to 90%. This is why cramming fails and spaced repetition works.

How to Start

  1. Create flashcards for what you need to learn
  2. Review new cards daily
  3. Follow the spaced schedule for reviews
  4. Keep cards simple: one fact per card

Our Flashcard Maker creates spaced repetition cards automatically from your notes.
