Questions people ask
How should I split revision into 15 minute blocks?
Alternate: one block recalling from memory, one block checking and correcting. The checking block is where the marks are, and most students skip it.
How many blocks make a study session?
Four to six with five minute breaks is a full evening for most students, and holds attention better than two long sittings.
How often should I use the 15 minute exam study timer?
Daily beats long. Three short sessions spread across the week produce better recall than one session of the same total length, because the gaps force your memory to retrieve rather than recognise.
