What is spaced repetition?

By dividing the study up into several short sessions spread out over a longer amount of time, spaced repetition is achieved. It is the opposite of cramming. Other names for spaced repetition include spacing, distributed practice, and spaced practice.

Once every two weeks, students can reserve 5–10 minutes of class time to complete flashcards on Anki covering earlier topics.

Examples for Spaced Repetition:

• Spending twenty minutes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday studying science.
• Reviewing ideas you acquired in Term 1 throughout year long.

Non-Examples for Spaced Repetition:

• Cramming for two hours the night before an exam.
