Best Practices for Effective Learning

Evidence-based strategies and platform tips to maximize your learning outcomes with Quasera.

Core Learning Principles

Science-backed strategies built into Quasera

Spaced Repetition

Review material at increasing intervals to move information from short-term to long-term memory. Quasera automatically schedules reviews based on your performance.

How to apply:

  • Review new concepts within 24 hours
  • Space out reviews: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks
  • Trust the algorithm to optimize your review schedule

Active Recall

Test yourself actively instead of passive reading. Retrieving information strengthens neural pathways more than re-reading.

How to apply:

  • Use practice questions before reviewing notes
  • Explain concepts in your own words
  • Create your own examples and applications

Interleaving Practice

Mix different topics in study sessions rather than blocking by subject. This improves discrimination and long-term retention.

How to apply:

  • Alternate between different subjects in one session
  • Practice problem-solving across multiple topic areas
  • Use Quasera's adaptive scheduling to optimize interleaving

Focused Study Sessions

Use time-blocking and eliminate distractions for deep work. Quality beats quantity in learning effectiveness.

How to apply:

  • Study in 25-50 minute focused blocks
  • Take 5-10 minute breaks between sessions
  • Turn off notifications during study time
