"Retrieval Practice alone can provide improved recall performance by as much as 10-20%. When combined with Spaced Retrieval, the effect is multiplied," (Dobson, 2013).

  • informs you whether the card was previously ⭐ Unseen or reviewed and ✅ Mastered or coded by the deck designer as a "key card" (key)

  • Begin your Review.

More Tips

RememberMore is design to make learning difficult, but in a good way. When reviewing difficult cards, pause, think hard, look for connections between the prompt and the tags (if shown).

Completing a deck is a great achievement. Experience (and the metrics) tells us that completing the final 10-15% of cards is tough. Here is why? The more you know, the more you need to review and remember and RememberMore continues to present to you the ✅ mastered of the cards, just at longer spaced intervals.

Learners tend to be "overconfident in predicting their own learning" when new to the deck content. RememberMore may feel like "overlearning" and it is - for good reason.
