Spaced Repetition

Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition is a technique where information is reviewed at increasing intervals over time. Instead of revising everything at once, students revisit topics after one day, a few days later, and again after a week or more.

This method works because the brain naturally begins to forget information slowly. When the material is reviewed just before it is forgotten, the memory becomes stronger.

Benefits of spaced repetition include:

• Better long-term memory retention
• Reduced need for cramming before exams
• Improved understanding of complex topics
• Lower study stress over time
