The Science of Spaced Repetition

How to beat the forgetting curve and master the NEET-PG curriculum

The Forgetting Curve

As medical students, we've all experienced it: you study for 10 hours on Monday, and by Friday, you've forgotten 80% of it. This is the **Forgetting Curve**. Spaced Repetition is the only scientific way to "flatten" this curve.

The FSRS Algorithm

Floww uses the **Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler (FSRS)**, the world's most advanced algorithm for predicting when you will forget a fact. Unlike older algorithms (like SM-2), FSRS adapts to your individual learning speed and the difficulty of the content.

Why Consistency is Key

Spaced repetition is not about studying more; it's about studying at the right time. If you miss a day, the reviews pile up, and you miss the "optimal retrieval window."

  • Morning Routine: Clear your "due" flashcards every morning.
  • Trust the System: Even if you feel you know a card, if it's due, review it.
  • Long-Term Game: It takes a few weeks to see the magic of the algorithm.
