these, spaced practice is the most effective and easiest method
in the view. It doesn't require any additional equipment or any
special skills, all it needs is spaced sessions of learning the
subject. The technique was studied in depth in past few
decades and the method has been developed to attain the best
out of the technique, making the process even more effective.
Science has focused on distributed practice to make learning
and remembering anything new, easier for the brain. The
