INSIGHT

Power Of Distributed Practice

  • Distributed practice (spacing study over time) improves long-term retention compared with massed cramming.
  • You can apply spacing after intensive workshops by reviewing in short, regular sessions.
ADVICE

Use Self-Testing, Not Rereading

  • Self-test by quizzing yourself to see if you truly know material rather than just rereading notes.
  • Use flashcards or quiz questions and focus on recalling answers in your own words.
ADVICE

Focus On Weak Spots

  • Prioritize study time on items you don't know and reduce review of material you already master.
  • Cycle weaker items more frequently and review mastered items infrequently to save time.
