Learn plans through statistics

Of course you have a feeling for how long it takes to get a grip on your subject – but do you know for sure? You will usually only know after the fact. Collecting statistical data after each Flashcard learning session can help you anticipate how many days or how many repetitions you need to learn a similar topic in the future. Of course, this measurement varies from person to person and also depends on the complexity of the subject and how you write your flashcards.

If you use a tool like Pauk to prepare your tests, the tool will output (after a few learnings) your personal lead time to prepare a topic to perfection. These can be the days you need to start in advance or the number of repetitions you need to master a subject. Soon, you will know these figures for all learning situations. This information is useful to determine the time you need to learn the information properly without over preparing.
