If you have 12 hours to dedicate to a topic, itâs better to study over six two-hour-long sessions than it is to study over a couple of six-hour-long sessions.Â

Alternating between different topics (referred to as âinterleavingâ) can be more effective, especially for topics that are similar in nature and might otherwise be easily conflated.
Research indicates that interleaving seems to bias your attention towards looking for differences between topics. In contrast, blocking seems to focus your attention on looking for similarities between topics.

Testing is not just a way of measuring learning; it can also be a powerful mechanism of learning.

This involves reading a short passage of text, putting the source to one side and trying to recall the information in your own words, before checking your recall against the source for factual accuracy.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
