Spacing Out Your Studying

Spaced Practice

Spacing It

In Class or Textbooks

Hear the initial concept in class or read it for the first time in your textbook, and take notes for later review.

Little Time Each Day

Create small pockets of time to review so you can see what you remember and what you have forgotten between reviews.

Workout Your Brain

When you review, make sure you are quizzing yourself and pushing your brain to pull information back up.

Start planning early for your assignments and exams. Set aside some time each day to review and study.

"You are forcing your mind to retrieve from your memory multiple times over different days, which makes it easier to pull up in the future."

Avoid Cramming

Studying a topic multiple times is more effective than just one long study session.
