NERDECKS

HOW DOES IT WORK?

STEP 1 - CREATE A DECK!

Create a deck for any topic you're learning. Keep things broad or get specific—it's your space.

Step 1 - Create decks
Step 2 - Add flashcards

STEP 2 - ADD FLASHCARDS!

Each flashcard has a question on one side and an answer on the other. Add one idea per card to make learning easier.

STEP 3 - REVIEW & REPEAT!

Review in short, focused sessions. Mark each card as Got it right or Got it wrong—NerDeck's spaced repetition system takes care of the rest.

Hermann Ebbinghaus and the Forgetting Curve

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY

In the late 1800s, German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus experimented on himself to understand how memory works.

He discovered the Forgetting Curve: we forget information quickly at first, then more slowly over time.

Reviewing material just before you forget it dramatically strengthens memory. That insight became the foundation of spaced repetition.
