Forgetting Curve
The forgetting curve is a simple observation, when we study something for the first time we tend to forget it in a very short term of time but we will remember the same thing for a very long term if we revise it in specific intervals.

- Second revision must be done within two days of first revision.
- Third revision must be done within 4 days of second revision
- Continue to revise it once in a week afterwards and make permanent in your memory.
The process may vary for you, you will first need to know your learning style.
