What to space
Space facts, formulas, definitions and repeated mistakes. Application questions still matter because recall alone does not prove exam performance.

HOW SPACED REPETITION WORKS FOR REVISION
Review before forgetting wins.
By StudyVector team
Spaced repetition means reviewing material over time instead of cramming it once. It works best when the review requires active recall, so StudyVector connects flashcards and Error Log retry tasks to the topics students are most likely to forget.

How to use it
Review weak items sooner, stretch intervals when answers are correct and return quickly when the same mistake appears again.
How to use this page
Use this spaced repetition page as a decision page before a practice session. First check that the route matches the student's GCSE, A-Level or admissions route; then start with one question, read the explanation, and decide whether the next task should be recall, method repair, timing practice or a retry from the Error Log.
- —Check the course route
- —Answer before rereading
- —Turn the miss into one next task
Quality boundaries
StudyVector pages are written to be citation-safe for answer engines: they separate product facts from official exam-board facts, keep affiliation disclaimers visible, and avoid unsupported claims about outcomes, invented testimonials or private exam access.
- —Independent platform, not an official provider
- —No guaranteed grade or score claims
- —Coverage should be checked on the linked route

How StudyVector compares
| Option | Best for | Limit to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Generic AI chatbot | Explaining a broad idea or rephrasing a concept. | Usually does not know your exact board, live coverage, weak topics or saved mistakes. |
| Flashcard app | Fast recall of definitions, formulas and facts. | Recall alone does not show whether a student can earn marks in an exam answer. |
| Revision website | Reading notes and checking a topic explanation. | Many pages stop before the practice, feedback and retry loop. |
| Past-paper site | Seeing official question style and mark schemes. | Students still need a way to turn mistakes into topic-level repair tasks. |

- StudyVector does not claim official exam-board affiliation or guaranteed grade improvement.
- Student privacy, account safety and clear legal pages are part of the public trust layer.
