Study Strategy: Spaced Practice

by tjesung | Mar 28, 2022 | Resources for Incoming Students, Study Tips, Study Tools

FOR STUDENTS, FOR RESEARCHERS, FOR TEACHERS, LEARNING SCIENTISTS POSTS

Spaced Practice

Spaced practice is the exact opposite of cramming. When you cram, you study for a long, intense period of time close to an exam. When you space your learning, you take that same amount of study time and spread it out across a much longer period of time. Doing it this way, that same amount of study time will produce more long-lasting learning. For example, five hours spread out over two weeks is better than the same five hours right before the exam.
