How to schedule spaced repetition on paper — UK
Spaced repetition only works if the reviews actually land. Put them on a weekly timetable, not in your head.
Eight moves to run spaced repetition on paper.
- Pick the deck. One subject or module. Cap new cards so reviews stay doable.
- Day 0 write. New card day — write the fact in your own words on the back.
- Review ladder. Same day light pass, then day 2, day 4, day 7. Tick on the timetable.
- Fail = reset. Wrong answer goes back to day 0 pile. Do not fake a pass.
- Time-box reviews. 25 minutes max per pile. Stop when the timer ends.
- Mix with papers. Two review blocks + one past-paper block beats cards-only weeks.
- Sunday reset. Sort piles: due / not due / retired. Keep the table clear.
- Printable. Revision Timetable holds the weekly blocks so reviews have a home.
