Use spaced repetition to enhance learning and knowledge retention.

It turns out that we learn more effectively when we give our brains a little time in between when we initially learn something and when we review or recall that information. This process is called “spaced repetition,” and it has been shown to significantly improve learning.

Say you study the topic of coordinate geometry for an hour, and then move on to a new topic, say, linear inequalities. You move through a few dissimilar GRE topics during that study session.

Over the course of a day or so, you start to forget some of what you learned about coordinate geometry. Now is the perfect time to restudy that topic. When you sit down for your next study session, you’ll find that you more quickly and easily attain the same level of competence that you attained in your study session just days earlier.

In fact, you’ll probably gain some new insights as you add to your knowledge base. Throughout the course of your GRE prep, you could study coordinate geometry five, six, or even seven different times, using spaced repetition to enhance your learning.
