llHere’s what Ebbinghaus showed us…
Content in your long term memory
After you learn something you forget it quickly
If you revise it soon after you learnt it, you will forget it more slowly!
If you revise it again some time later you remember even more
Do it again and these facts and ideas will be in your long-term memory ready for the exam!
