How the spaced repetition works

Each card is an interview question with its model answer on the back. Read the question, answer it in your head or out loud, flip the card and grade yourself honestly. Your grade decides when you see the card again.

  • Again brings the card back in a minute, and Hard schedules it for tomorrow. Good moves it one step along the schedule of 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days, and Easy skips a step.
  • Short, daily sessions win. Ten minutes a day keeps the pile of due cards small, and spacing reviews out is what moves an answer into long-term memory.
  • Be strict with yourself. If you needed the back of the card to remember the key point, it was Hard, not Good. Honest grades are what make the schedule work.

The schedule is saved in this browser, so there's nothing to sign up for.
