Studying for finals with Brainback

Four weeks out, three weeks out, two weeks out, one week out.

Test prep7 min

Finals prep with Brainback follows the same principles as any other prep: attempt-first practice, spaced recall of your errors, explain-back on the concepts you think you know.

Four weeks out: attempt one problem set from each course in Brainback. Note which concepts your Brain score is weakest on. Add them to your Explain-back rotation.

Three weeks out: for each course, work through 3–5 previous exam problems in Learn mode. Do not use hints unless you're truly stuck. Let the recall queue absorb your errors.

Two weeks out: your recall queue should be full of your own errors. Run it every day. Add three Explain-backs a day on the concepts that keep tripping you up.

One week out: no new material. Only recall reviews and Explain-backs. Trust the workflow. It works.
