Research on verbal memory finds that spacing and the delay before a final test interact. It does not provide one optimal interval for every subject. Use the calendar to make another encounter possible, then adjust it to your material and purpose.
Try it
- Choose a small topic worth remembering.
- Add a later review at a time you can realistically keep.

What to notice

Limits and review
