Shutting Down Spaced Practice

I’m Shaams Nur, a 9th grader from Birmingham, Alabama. My goal during quarantine is to experiment with 15 study methods over the next 100 days.

Week 13 Day 6 — Spaced Practice

Wow, we’re done with Week 13! I can see the finish line of our 100-day project!

This week I used spaced practice. One reason I like this method so much is that you don’t have to cram all of your studying into one night. Also, if you end up missing one day of studying, it’s fine because you have a lot more time to continue studying. Since the crux of the spaced practice is to space out your studying with consistent study sessions over a certain period of time, you can really just use any method you want during the sessions. I chose to take notes, but it got pretty boring just taking notes for 30 minutes every day. When the school year starts, I’ll try to apply a variety of my favorite methods during spaced practice. For example, I might study in the morning and use the Feynman Notebook Method and color-coded studying over a span of 2 weeks.

Please make sure you respond to any of my articles with what study method you want me to use on week 15!
