Spaced review means returning to the same material at different times. Instead of rereading everything in one session, organise returns and check what you can retrieve each time.

What to do in a review

Before opening the explanation, try recalling the idea, answering a question or solving a task. Then check the material and work on what was missing. The format depends on the topic; it need not always be rereading or flashcards.

How Revisync helps

Recording study with Normal or Long-term creates a review sequence. For scheduled study, the cycle starts when you mark the activity as completed.

Open Today, review the pending item’s material and use Complete review. The app saves the step and shows the next date. Calendar lets you inspect each cycle’s next review.

The interval is a choice

Revisync starts with configurable sequences. They do not measure memory or guarantee retention or grades. Adjust organisation when the material, availability or practice requires it.

See the app’s intervals. For research context, read Cepeda and colleagues on distributed practice and Karpicke and Blunt on retrieval practice. These studies do not evaluate Revisync.
