Desperately trying to stop cramming for every test? Try this article. Retrieving information only once won’t magically deliver results, and that’s where spaced retrieval (and the IN PREPARATION stickie) comes in. We’ve mentioned this several times already, and, well, here we are, saying it again: spacing out your studying over several days will save you the last minute freak out and cram session. This article is written just for us students and there’s a podcast episode too (but tbh I’d rather just skim the article).

Want info from an .edu website? Try these two articles about spaced practice and retrieval practice from UC San Diego’s Department of Psychology. They’re actually both quite short and easy to read. No research papers or confusing academic texts here!
