Memory Techniques: Leitner Method

The Leitner Method is a method used when studying with flashcards.

The Leitner Method helps you determine your level of knowledge of each card and how
well you know it. This is a way to build structure or make a game while studying
the flashcards.
1. Start with 1 stack of all of your flashcards. Review each card. Do this regularly.

2. Each card that is answered correctly will move from box 1 to box 2. Review every
other day.

3. Each incorrectly answered card will stay in box 1.
4. During your next review session, start with stack 2.

7. Continue with this method until all of your cards make it to box 3. Review the
cards at least once a week.

Note:
 This is a suggested timeframe. The timeframe is dependent on the amount of
time before your quiz or test that you have to study. Two to three weeks would be
ideal for this method, but this may not always be the case for you.
 This is also a suggested number of boxes. This method is very flexible, so you
may choose to have more than 3 boxes. Three boxes is the minimum amount of
boxes for the Leitner Method to be successful.

The Leitner Method is best for regular and consistent studying. Although this can be
adapted for cramming, the ideal is for reviewing more than 5 days before the test.
