Studia builds you an adaptive weekly study plan: what to revise, when to revise it, and how to reflect afterwards. The same techniques A* students use — except Studia does the scheduling for you.

We adopted every major evidence-backed learning technique into Studia's core engine — the same ones that cognitive scientists say have the biggest impact on learning.

Quizzing yourself — flashcards, blank-page brain dumps, past-paper questions — beats re-reading every single time. So Studia makes 80% of every session active recall.
Feature: 80% active recall per session
Research: Adesope, Trevisan & Sundararajan (2017)10 · 20 · 35 · 55% · of the way to your exam
Studia spreads your reviews across the exact intervals cognitive scientists found give maximum memory for minimum effort — anchored to your real exam date.
Feature: Exam-date-anchored scheduler
Research: Cepeda, Pashler, Vul, Wixted & Rohrer (2008)3 × 75%+ · to master · one miss demotes
Nothing counts as mastered until you've recalled it three times at 75%+. Slip once and it drops straight back into the rotation.
Feature: RAG mastery gating
Research: Carpenter, Cepeda, Rohrer, Kang & Pashler (2012)4 high · 0 low · techniques in your plan
Highlighting, re-reading and summarising are rated low-utility. Studia is built on the four techniques researchers rated high-utility — nothing else.
Feature: Zero busywork tasks
Research: Dunlosky, Rawson, Marsh, Nathan & Willingham (2013)Your brain learns deeper when you switch between related topics instead of grinding one for hours. Studia builds that into every day automatically.
Feature: Automatic daily topic-switching
Research: Kornell & Bjork (2008)Worked example, then guided practice, then independent practice. Throwing yourself at hard questions cold actually makes you learn less.
Feature: Scaffolded task templates
Research: Sweller, van Merriënboer & Paas (2019)6 → 26 min · scaled by cognitive demand
“State what a cell is” takes minutes. “Evaluate Darwin's theory” takes far longer. Studia reads the exam command word and sizes each session properly — no other UK study app does this.
Feature: Session length by command word
Research: Anderson & Krathwohl (2001)5 → 8 · different plan, not just longer
Going from a 5 to an 8 doesn't need more study time — it needs different study time, weighted toward exam-style challenge.
Feature: Grade-jump scaling
Research: Ericsson, Krampe & Tesch-Römer (1993)Simply judging how well you know something is one of the most powerful learning moves there is — so Studia asks after every session.
Feature: Post-session RAG ratings
Research: Panadero (2017)You bring the exam date. Studia handles the cognitive science — and quietly reschedules every time you finish a session.
Tell Studia your exam board, exam date, current grade, target grade and free time. It checks the plan actually fits your calendar, then builds an adaptive weekly schedule.
A distraction-free Pomodoro timer with a Live Activity on your lock screen. Every session is retrieval, spacing, interleaving or practice — never highlighting.
In about 60 seconds you rate your confidence Red / Amber / Green and log your results. Studia scores the session out of 100 and reshapes what comes next.
The science runs the schedule. These keep you in the habit.
Every session graded 0–100 on completion, focus, active recall, accuracy and reflection — quality, not just hours.
One meaningful session a day keeps a global streak alive across every plan — with Today and streak widgets on your home screen.
Your focus timer lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can stay off your phone while you study.
Push the sessions you choose straight into Apple Calendar — Studia never reads your existing events.
