How do I stop forgetting what I study?

To remember longer, you need spaced review and mixed practice. Study in short sessions, re-check after a delay, and practice retrieving answers (not just re-reading notes).

Two methods that work

These two techniques are consistently effective.

  • Spaced review: revisit after 1 day, 3 days, 1 week
  • Mixed practice: mix topics so your brain must choose the right method

A simple plan you can follow

Do a short practice set today, then do a smaller refresh set later. If you miss a question, use that miss to choose tomorrow’s practice.
