How SpacedRepetition.com Works

SpacedRepetition.com helps students retain vital information far more effectively, in turn allowing them to be better prepared for class and score far higher on exams. The spaced repetition method is supported by over a century of research and has been proven effective in dozens of peer-reviewed, published studies.

Understanding Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition solves a challenge all humans face: after learning something new, we begin to forget it almost immediately. By strategically reviewing material at intervals tailored to your memory, spaced repetition helps you retain information for the long term.

How It Works

• Personalized Review: After you review a flashcard on SpacedRepetition.com, you rate how well you knew the answer. Based on your response, the system determines when you should review that card again. If you know it well, the interval between reviews increases. If you struggle, the card will reappear sooner. This process ensures that you review information at just the right times to reinforce your memory.
• Scientific Approach: The timing of these reviews is guided by the "forgetting curve," a well-established principle that predicts how quickly information fades from memory. SpacedRepetition.com's algorithms are designed to counteract this by prompting reviews before the material slips from your mind.
• Efficiency: Just 10 minutes of study each day using spaced repetition can significantly improve your retention. Studies show that while people typically only recall about 25% of what they've studied a week after learning it, spaced repetition users retain up to 92% of the material.

Why It's Effective for Law Students

For law students, spaced repetition is particularly valuable. It allows you to build and retain a strong understanding of legal concepts, which is crucial not only for passing exams but also for creating a foundation to perform other tasks (like analyzing and applying the law to a fact pattern) necessary for your success.

Whether you're preparing for the bar or studying for first-year courses like contracts or torts, SpacedRepetition.com helps you retain what you learn, making future reviews faster and more effective. Over time, this method ensures that you're not just memorizing information for short-term use, but embedding it in your long-term memory.

SpacedRepetition.com transforms the way you study by making it more effective and less time-consuming, so you can focus on truly mastering the material.
