# Elite IB Revision Techniques

🧩 1. Spaced Repetition (Ebbinghaus Curve)

Review material after 1 day → 3 days → 7 days → 14 days.

🧠 Each interval strengthens recall.

Try scheduling it in StudyIB'sSmart Planner.

šŸ’” 2. Active Recall

Don't reread.Close your notes, write what you remember, then check.

Every retrieval act builds neural efficiency.

šŸ”„ 3. Interleaving

Mix subjects or topics (Bio enzymes → Chem rates → Eco demand).

Forces your brain tochoosethe right method instead of guessing from context.

šŸ“Š 4. Past-Paper Patterning

Analyze 3–5 past papers. Note recurring command terms or topics.

You'll find hidden probabilities: e.g.Micro evaluation = Paper 1 Q2 almost every year.

šŸŖž 5. Dual Coding

Combine visuals + text (diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps).

IB Biology and Geography benefit massively from it — recall jumps up to 65%.

🧘 6. Sleep & Consolidation

One all-nighter can wipe 30% of memory retention.

Plan your revision like a marathon, not a sprint.
