Study methods

How you study decides how much sticks. These guides cover retrieval, spacing, explaining and mixing topics, with a concrete routine in each one.

Spaced repetition, explained simply

Why reviewing on a schedule beats rereading, and how to space your reviews without an app telling you what to do.

Why answering from memory beats rereading, plus four ways to practise it on any subject.

Explain the topic in plain words, find the gaps that exposes, and turn them into cards.

Boxes, promotion rules, and a five-step review schedule you can run on paper or with decks.

Shrink the chapter, turn it into questions, chunk it, and test yourself within the hour — plus what to do with five minutes or one evening.

Why mixing topics in one session beats studying them one at a time, and how to build a mixed review.

Eight evidence-based habits and a one-hour session you can copy tonight.

Words in sentences, both directions, spaced reviews, and a 15-minute daily routine.

Turn tonight's chapter into a deck and start reviewing straight away.
