What if you could remember everything you study? While perfect memory isn't possible, combining two powerful techniques—spaced repetition and AI tutoring—can get you surprisingly close.
What is Spaced Repetition?
Spaced repetition is a learning technique where you review information at increasing intervals. Instead of cramming everything the night before an exam, you review material across days or weeks.
The Science Behind It
The "forgetting curve" shows how we rapidly forget new information. Spaced repetition interrupts this curve at optimal times, strengthening memory each review.
- After 1 day: Review item
- After 3 days: Review again
- After 1 week: Review
- After 2 weeks: Review
- After 1 month: Review
Each successful review increases the interval. Eventually, it's locked in long-term memory.
How AI Supercharges Spaced Repetition
1. Automatic Difficulty Assessment
Traditional flashcard apps can't tell if you really understand something or just memorized words. AI tutors can ask follow-up questions to test true understanding.
2. Generating Unlimited Practice Material
Running out of flashcards? Ask your AI tutor to generate more questions on any topic. Get variations and new angles you wouldn't have thought of.
3. Explaining When You're Stuck
When you can't remember something, AI doesn't just show you the answer—it explains the concept again, possibly in a new way that finally makes it stick.
4. Identifying Weak Areas
AI tracks your performance and highlights topics that need more review, ensuring you focus on what matters most.
The Ultimate Study Protocol
Combine these tools with this daily routine:
Morning (15 min):
- Review spaced repetition flashcards
- For any you get wrong, ask AI for explanation
Study Session (30-60 min):
- Learn new material with AI tutor
- Ask questions until you understand
- Request practice problems
Evening (10 min):
- Quick review of new material
- Create flashcards for key concepts
- Let AI generate additional review questions
