FAQ

How should I split my exam prep blocks?

Start with short blocks (20-40 minutes) that alternate recall and practice. Use one block for active recall, one for problem sets, and one for review so you do not stall on a single mode.

Do I need a Study Spaces account?

No. You can start or join a room with a nickname and keep your streaks locally.

Can I run group review sessions?

Yes. Use a shared room for a host-led review, and invite classmates with a single link.
