Revision Index

Learning Strategy Overview

• Core Principle: Test-first learning with spaced repetition
• System: Leitner inspired box rotation

• Review Rule: Until the next full quiz attempt, error-only reviews repeat at the box’s interval.
• Attempt Count: Only full quiz attempts increment the attempt count.
• Daily Commitment: 1 hour coding + 1 hour quizzing (14 hours/week)
• Mastery Threshold: 90% quiz score to advance

The system works if you trust the process. Focus on one quiz at a time, respect the spacing intervals, and let spaced repetition do the heavy lifting.

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

• Don’t re-read notes before quizzes
• Don’t retake too soon — Wait 2+ days for spaced repetition benefits
• Don’t aim for 100% — 90% mastery is enough to move forward
• Don’t skip retakes — The second attempt is where real learning happens
• Don’t overload with new topics while backlog piles up — Finish one unit before interleaving with another topic
• Don’t batch reviews — Spaced practice beats cramming
• Don’t ignore Box 3/4 — Maintenance prevents forgetting
