Frequently asked questions
Why does the plan use self-testing instead of rereading?
Retrieval practice and spaced repetition are among the best-supported study techniques. Rereading feels productive but usually leads to weaker long-term recall.
What if I fall behind?
The plan includes buffer days. If you slip further, paste your progress and ask the AI to rebalance the remaining weeks.
