Spaced repetition for medical students

A practical next session

1. Choose one lecture or topic and write a few specific questions. Keep the source beside each answer.
2. Attempt an answer before revealing it. Record what you could explain and what you guessed.
3. Use the Confusion Ledger to turn a mistaken answer into a repair question.
4. Review the due queue within the time you actually have. A self-rating is a practice record, not an exam prediction.
