How is the plan built?

Three phases: learn, review, then a few light days. The flashcard reviews come from the same spaced repetition scheduler the app uses.

  • With 42 days or more to go, the last 14 days before the light days are for review. With less time, review gets 30% of the days.
  • The light days at the end: 3 with 21 days or more to go, 2 with 7 or more, 1 with 3 or more, none with less.
  • New topics are spread evenly over the learning days, so you finish learning right when review starts.
  • In the review phase you go through every card once more. On the light days you go back over 25% of them, your hardest.
  • Between those passes, each flashcard comes back on the day spaced repetition (FSRS) schedules it, as if you answered Good each time.

Time estimates assume about 5 minutes to learn a new topic and 10 seconds per flashcard review. To see exactly when one card comes back, try the spaced repetition calculator.
