Cramming worked for the next day's exam, but a week later? Nothing. Then I discovered spaced repetition—reviewing material at increasing intervals over time. I use Anki flashcards that schedule reviews based on how well I know each concept.
The night before the exam, I'm not learning new material; I'm just refreshing what I already know. Research shows this is way more effective for long-term retention . My study stress dropped dramatically, and I actually remember things after the final. If you're tired of forgetting everything after exams, try spaced repetition.

I've heard about Anki but never stuck with it. Do you make your own decks or use shared ones? My biggest problem is starting early enough—I always tell myself "I'll review gradually" and then end up cramming anyway. Any tips for building the daily habit?
