Evidence
- Hermann Ebbinghaus — The forgetting curve is why a row of PSAT / 한국사 you knew on Monday is gone by Friday without a retrieve.
- Nicholas Cepeda — Cepeda's spacing work is the calendar for PSAT / 한국사: expand the gap after a success.
- John Dunlosky — High-utility practice testing is how you run PSAT / 한국사 — not highlighting the handbook.
- Robert Bjork — Desirable difficulty: a slightly late retrieve from PSAT / 한국사 beats a fluent reread.
- Local programme — The named sitting for PSAT / 한국사 is a public programme for English-language sittings. Do not drift to another country's paper.
Mechanisms

- Error as signal — A miss on PSAT / 한국사 tells you which row to split.
- Table vs table — Do not mash two legal tables inside PSAT / 한국사.
- Taper, then sleep — Fourteen days out, PSAT / 한국사 is only mature retrieval.
