Why Spaced Repetition Works for IB
Spaced repetition is a proven technique that improves memory by scheduling content review at strategically expanding intervals. It leverages the spacing effect, significantly boosting long-term retention—making it ideal for mastering IB content from formulas to TOK vocabulary. (revisiondojo.com, Wikipedia)

🧠 FAQs About Spaced Repetition with RevisionDojo
1. Is spaced repetition better than cramming?
Yes—spaced review builds robust memory while cramming leads to rapid forgetting. (Birmingham City University, Wikipedia, revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com)
2. Can I skip certain cards if I know content well?
If flashcards are marked “easy,” they’re scheduled less often—but you should still review periodically to prevent forgetting.
3. What study apps can I combine?
RevisionDojo flashcards work alongside tools like Anki or Quizlet, though Jojo AI simplifies deck creation and scheduling. (revisiondojo.com)
4. Is this useful beyond vocabulary?
Absolutely—spaced repetition works for Math formulas, TOK concepts, Science definitions, and more. (revisiondojo.com)
5. How far before exams should I start?
Begin your flashcard routine at least 6–8 weeks before exams—to stabilize weak topics and avoid last-minute overload. (revisiondojo.com)
