How memory works
Info goes in, gets stored, then has to come back out. Most forgetting is a problem getting it back out.
Encoding : your brain turns what you see and hear into something it can store. Thinking about what it means works best.
Short-term memory : holds a handful of things for about 20 seconds. Stop repeating them and they're gone.
Long-term memory : practically unlimited, and it can last a lifetime.
Retrieval : pulling a memory back out. That "it's on the tip of my tongue" feeling is retrieval failing.
remember:In, stored, out: encode, store, retrieve.
Key terms
- encoding
- turning information into a form your brain can store
- short-term memory
- a few items for a few seconds
- long-term memory
- the big, lasting store
- retrieval
- getting a memory back out when you need it
Check yourself
You read a phone number and forget it 30 seconds later. What went wrong?
6.2 Short-term memory
- Capacity: about 4 to 7 items (Miller, 1956; Cowan, 2001)
- Duration: about 15 to 30 seconds without rehearsal
- Maintenance rehearsal keeps items active
- Chunking increases effective capacity
- Info not encoded is lost

You read a phone number and forget it 30 seconds later. Which memory let you down?
correct.Short-term memory holds a handful of items for about 20 seconds. Stop repeating them and they fade. [slide 6]
Every answer shows its slide.
Notes, practice questions, mock exams, tutor replies: each one points to the exact slide it came from. Tap it and the slide opens right there.
The AI doesn't freestyle. If your prof didn't say it, it doesn't get tested.
Went to every lecture? Drill it.
Practice that comes back right before you forget, a mock exam in your real format and stats that show where you're losing points.

Testing yourself beats rereading. Spacing it out beats cramming.
A review of ten popular study techniques rated these two the most useful. Highlighting and rereading came last.
Dunlosky et al., 2013, Psychological Science in the Public Interest (opens the paper: Improving Students' Learning With Effective Learning Techniques)49 min
A well-built AI tutor out-taught a good class.
In a Harvard physics trial, students with a structured AI tutor learned more than in an active-learning lecture, in a median 49 minutes against a 60-minute class.
Kestin et al., 2025, Scientific Reports (opens the paper: AI tutoring outperforms in-class active learning)-17%
Hints, not answers.
Students who leaned on plain ChatGPT scored 17% worse once it was taken away. A tutor that only gave hints didn't have that problem.

Questions,
answered.
The short version: upload slides, pick a mode, pass the exam.
What is No Time to Study?
A study app that turns your lecture slides into a full course: notes, practice questions with spaced repetition, mock exams in your real exam format, a glossary and an AI tutor. Everything links back to the slide it came from.
Is this cheating?
No. You still do the learning. We turn messy slides into the format research says works: testing yourself, spaced over days. The tutor gives hints, not answers.
What can I upload?
Lecture slides and handouts as PDFs. Using Google Slides or PowerPoint? Download as PDF first. A syllabus alone works too, but your real slides make it much better.
Which subjects?
Anything taught with slides: biology, physics, chemistry, business, psych, econ, law. Number-heavy courses get worked examples, not just definitions.
Is my stuff private?
Yes. Your uploads are visible only to you, and to classmates if you choose to share. We don't sell your data or use your files to train AI. Only upload material you're allowed to use for your own studying.
How much does it cost?
Your first lecture is free, no card. Then Core (3 courses) is $15 a month, Full load (up to 6) is $25 and No limits is $50, or $12.50, $19.50 and $37.50 a month billed every 4 months. The same numbers apply in euros and pounds, VAT included. Cancel anytime. Every plan includes every feature; plans only differ in how many courses you can have.
What if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you paid for, and your notes stay readable after that. We email you before every renewal, and you can cancel in two clicks or get a full refund within 14 days.
Who is it for?
Anyone 18 or older with an exam coming: college and university students, grad students, people studying for certifications. Sign up with any email, it doesn't have to be a school one.
When can I use it?
We're letting people in from the waitlist in waves. Join and you'll get your first lecture free plus launch pricing.
