Read more about interleaving as a study strategy While it’s good to switch between ideas, don’t switch too often, or spend too little time on any one idea; you need to make sure you understand them. Interleaving will feel harder than studying the same thing for a long time. But don’t worry - this is actually helpful to your learning! Switch between ideas during a study session. Don’t study one idea for too long. Make links between different ideas as you switch between them. Go back over the ideas again in different orders to strengthen your understanding.
