If you’ve ever tried to memorize everything in one go, only to forget it a week later, you’re not alone. That’s where the interleaving study method comes in—a technique that not only boosts retention but also helps you truly master the material, not just cram for a test. Interleaving means mixing different topics or types of problems within a single study session, rather than focusing on just one concept at a time (a method known as blocking)[1][2]. This approach might feel harder at first, but the payoff is real: students who interleave often perform nearly twice as well as those who block their study topics[9].
