Why QuizSprint sticks

Practice that remembers what you missed.

QuizSprint uses spaced repetition and mistake-first ordering — two of the most-studied learning techniques in cognitive science.

How QuizSprint adapts

One question, one week.

Here's the same question across one student's week of practice.

  1. Day 1 — Monday morning

    Wrong

    You answer Q14 in Quadratic Equations. Wrong.

  2. Day 1 — evening

    Cooldown

    Q14 is in a 12-hour cooldown. You won't see it again tonight.

  3. Day 2 — Tuesday

    Priority

    Q14 reappears at the top of your practice queue.

  4. Day 2 — later

    Correct → cool-off

    You get it right this time. Q14 enters a 7-day cool-off.

  5. Day 9 — next week

    Re-test

    Q14 comes back for a re-test. Still right? It cools off again.

Research

Why this works.

The forgetting curve

Ebbinghaus, 1885

Hermann Ebbinghaus showed that without review, we forget about 50% of new material within an hour. Spaced repetition flattens that curve by triggering the review at the moment you'd otherwise forget.

The testing effect

Roediger & Karpicke, 2006

Retrieving information from memory strengthens it more than re-reading. Every QuizSprint question is a retrieval, not a re-read.

What actually works

Dunlosky et al., 2013

A meta-analysis of 700+ studies ranked practice testing and distributed practice as the two most-effective study techniques. Both are what QuizSprint does.

Proven patterns

Used by learning systems worldwide.

Pimsleur · USA

Language since the 1960s

Language courses built entirely around spaced retrieval — the model US government language schools have used for decades.

SuperMemo · Poland

The spaced-repetition pioneer

Software pioneer of computational spaced-repetition algorithms — the predecessor of every modern flashcard tool from Anki to Duolingo.

Singapore primary maths

Mastery-based progression

Don't move on until the basic is solid. Same principle as our cooldown system — solid recall before retiring a question.
