The Study
Playbook
Seven plays, backed by learning science. Pick the one that fits the moment and run it.
- 01Remember
Active Recall
After every reading or lecture
Close the book and pull the ideas out of your head. Retrieval builds memory far better than re-reading.
- 02Remember
Spaced Repetition
For facts, vocab and formulas
Review just before you'd forget. Increase the gap each time you get it right.
- 03Focus
The Pomodoro Drive
When you can't get started
Work in short, protected sprints with real breaks so focus never runs dry.
- 04Learn
The Feynman Pass
When a concept won't click
Explain it simply, as if teaching a 12-year-old. Gaps in your explanation are gaps in your understanding.
- 05Learn
Interleaving Mix
Practicing problems in math or science
Mix different problem types in one session so you learn to choose the right method, not just repeat one.
- 06Exam
Full Dress Rehearsal
One week before the exam
Simulate the real exam — same time limit, no notes — to expose weak spots while there's still time.
- 07Exam
The Night-Before Close
Evening before the exam
Light review, then protect your sleep. Memory locks in overnight.
