Space revision across several days instead of one long session
Same total hours, remembered for weeks instead of days.
Why it works
Spaced repetition — revisiting material after a gap instead of repeating it immediately — forces the brain to retrieve rather than just re-recognise it, which is what builds durable memory. A single long cram session feels productive but the retrieval practice that makes it stick barely happens.
