Boosters
Boosters & Your Review Queue
Meeting an idea once is how you forget it. Boosters are built to avoid that: every one you complete plants "memory seeds" in your review queue, and Daily Practice brings them back at exactly the right moments.
The closing judge call
Every Booster ends with a judge call — a messy, realistic situation you have to rule on, so you retrieve and apply the core idea rather than just nod along. When you complete it, you'll see: "You'll see this again in 1 day — that's how it sticks." That's the handoff from doing to remembering: the judge call is what seeds the review queue. (The commit that follows — "which of these will you actually do today?" — points the idea at your real work; the judge call points it at your memory.)
How the review queue works
Behind the scenes, each concept you learn becomes a memory seed scheduled with adaptive spaced repetition:
- Reviews come back on expanding intervals — 1 day, then 3, then a week, then longer — tuned to how well you remember
- Answer correctly and the next review moves further out; miss it and it comes back sooner
- Every answer gets an instant ✓ or ✗ with a short explanation
This is the same system your lessons feed into — Boosters and plan lessons share one review queue.
Where reviews happen: Daily Practice
Daily Practice is a 2-minute, 5-question, question-first review session: up to 4 reviews that are due today, plus 1 sneak peek of what's coming tomorrow. It's unlimited and free for everyone, forever — and it counts toward your streak, so it's the easiest way to keep a busy day alive.
Recall scores
As you answer reviews, GapFix builds a recall score per skill — a live picture of what's solid and what's fading. Booster concepts contribute to these scores just like lesson material, and recall scores are part of the real learning evidence a plan reassessment reads when it offers to re-tune your pending weeks.
Getting the most out of it
- See the session through. A Booster you close before the judge call never enters the queue.
- Do Daily Practice daily. Two minutes a day beats an hour of re-reading — the queue only works if you show up when reviews are due.
- Trust the misses. Getting a review wrong isn't failure; it's the system finding a weak spot before an interview does.
