The Science Behind Our Method

Active Recall

Testing yourself strengthens memory pathways more than passive reading.

Spaced Repetition

Reviewing at optimal intervals moves knowledge to long-term memory.

Interleaving

Random presentation improves discrimination and retention.

"Retrieval practice produces more learning than re-reading."
