Study Scheduling Topics

Mental Case is a powerful learning tool. It can schedule your notes for study according to your goals, whether they be long-term learning, or cramming for an exam. Mental Case can even schedule different combinations of facets separately, allowing you to focus on the combinations you have most difficulty with.

Learning Schedules

Mental Case has many different study schedules that you can use for your Mental Notes, depending on whether you are learning for the short or long term. Use a spaced-repetition algorithm, or the well-known Leitner System. The choice is yours.

Setting a Learning Schedule

You set the learning schedule in the stack info. Choose a schedule tailored to your learning objectives, or disable scheduling altogether.

Setting the Scheduling Stack

A mental note can appear in more than one stack, so which stack should be used to schedule the note for study? When a note belongs to multiple stacks, you can choose the scheduling stack.

Limiting Due Notes in a Stack

You can limit the number of notes that a stack can have due for study at any given time. This might be useful if you consider some stacks less important, or simply don’t want to be overburdened with too many due notes.
