respective problems.
The researchers then tested the students
1O86
1 and 30 days after the initial study session to see
if interleaving the practice problems had any
Dav
effects on long-term retention. The results
showed that the students who revised with interleaved practice performed significantly better on both tests than those who used blocked practice.

This finding suggests that interleaved practice can enhance long-term retention, making it a superior study technique to the traditional blocked practice.
I hope the realization that simply rearranging the order of your homework questions can boost your grade by more than 30% makes it clear that incorporating this practice into your study routine is a wise choice.
