Spaced Repetition for Practice
How CloseIntel schedules your practice drills at increasing intervals to build lasting recall.
How Spaced Repetition Works
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that schedules reviews at increasing intervals so material moves from short-term into long-term memory. CloseIntel applies it to your practice drills in the Training Simulator (/dashboard/practice) — so the skills you've nearly mastered come back for review right before you'd start to forget them.
The Idea
When you first learn a technique, you forget it quickly. Each time you successfully apply it again, the memory strengthens and lasts longer. Spaced repetition optimizes the timing of those reviews so you practice each skill at the most useful moment.
How CloseIntel Uses It
- As you complete simulator drills, CloseIntel tracks your mastery for each skill area (for example, a specific objection type).
- Skill areas you handle well are scheduled to come up again further in the future.
- Skill areas you struggle with come back sooner for more reps.
- Over time, well-practiced areas appear less often, freeing you to focus on weaker spots.
Practice scheduling happens automatically behind the scenes — there's nothing to configure. Just keep running drills and CloseIntel handles the timing.
What You'll See
- Recommended drills on the Simulator surface point you toward the skills due for review or flagged from your call analysis.
- Your mastery and progress show up on the Stats sub-tab of the Training Simulator.
Tips
- Consistency matters — short, frequent sessions beat occasional long ones.
- Don't skip recommended drills — the intervals are calculated to maximize retention.
- Trust the schedule. Even skills that feel easy benefit from an occasional rep to keep them sharp.
