Spaced repetition, without setting anything up
Spaced repetition means reviewing a card just as you are about to forget it, then waiting longer each time you get it right. AugStudy does the scheduling for every deck you make, so you just open Today's review.
How it works
Make a deck
From your notes, a PDF or a photo. Its cards go into review on their own.
Rate each card
Again, Hard, Good or Easy. An honest rating is what makes the schedule work.
Come back tomorrow
Today's review collects the cards that are due across all your decks, up to 20 at a time.
How the gaps grow
AugStudy uses FSRS, a modern scheduling algorithm that models how well you remember each card. It brings each card back while you are still likely to know it, about nine times in ten. Each button shows the gap it gives before you tap it: a card you know well comes back in a few days, then weeks, then months. A card you miss comes back in 10 minutes.
Your next test comes first
Give a deck a test date and Today's review puts the nearest test first. Once the test has passed, that deck steps back, so last month's unit does not crowd out this week's.
It counts toward your streak
Reviews earn XP like everything else, and a card you actually remember earns more than one you just flipped.
Questions
Is spaced repetition worth it?
Spacing out practice and testing yourself are two of the most consistently supported study habits in learning research. The hard part is keeping track of what is due, which is the part the app does.
How long until a card stops coming back?
Gaps cap at a year. Cards you keep missing are flagged so you can look at them differently.
Does review work offline?
In the AugStudy app, yes, for decks you have opened once. The website needs a connection.
