Pretesting Effect

Attempt the question before you study the material.

!
The Problem

Students only test themselves after studying, treating a test as measurement rather than as part of the learning itself.

The Solution

Before showing you new material, Studara presents a question about it first. You almost certainly do not know the answer yet. But the act of attempting it — failing — creates a memory slot that the correct answer slots into perfectly when you see it.
