 Spaced practice is an effective study technique that boosts storage strength and produces long-term learning results. Spaced practice involves reviewing material and practicing it for weeks before an assessment. Short study sessions are spread out one to two weeks before the exam. It is the opposite of cramming. Spaced practice is beneficial because it stops the need for cramming, allows us to transfer information from short to long-term memory, keeps our attention elevated during shorter study sessions, and allows for time to forget and retrieve information. Get started using spaced practice by creating a study plan and scheduling short study sessions every other or every couple of days.
