Why is spaced repetition so effective?

Spaced repetition is extremely effective in helping individuals to retain information for longer periods of time compared to crammed learning sessions due to repeated encounters with the material over time producing superior long-term learning.

You shouldn’t use spaced repetition if your exam is closer than 30 days. If it is closer than that we recommend using Learn Mode instead.

Good luck and ace your exams with Spaced Repetition Mode!
