Spaced Repetition of Practice

practicing on your own is important too, so you can retain everything you’re learning. That’s where personalized practice packs come in, based on the science of spaced repetition.

How does spaced repetition work?

taking advantage of the spacing effect — a finding that study sessions are more effective when they’re spaced out over time.

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that uses the spacing effect to help you retain more of what you’re learning. It involves reintroducing concepts at intervals, based on how well you’re retaining the information.

Instead of cramming a ton of concepts all at once, it’s more effective long-term to resurface topics over time.

we can reset this process through repeated active recall. If we actively interrupt this forgetting process at the right time in the right way, we retain knowledge longer and flatten the “forgetting curve“.

What are personalized practice packs?

Leitner system - where you would order flashcards based on your performance. If you got something right, you moved it back in the deck to see less often, but if you got it wrong, you brought it to the front.

use your learning data and the spaced repetition technique to algorithmically figure out what you need to practice and when. Then, we curate practice questions based on your individual progress.

save you time by weaving what you need to learn into your journey so you can remember what you’re learning long term.

things you need more work on, you’ll see more often in your practice. As you become more knowledgeable about specific topics, we’ll surface them less often. No need to try to remember what you might be forgetting, we’ve got you covered.

keep track of your learning progress, even tracking individual facts you encounter for extreme precision, and bring them back to you based on your chronological, correctness, and completeness data. Every time you load up a smart practice session, you’ll see exactly why we’ve generated that pack for you.
