The idea
Distributed practice, spreading study over several sessions, produces better retention than massing the same amount of study into one session.
In practice
Five one-hour sessions across a week outlast one five-hour cram the night before.
Where people slip
There is no single best spacing schedule, but spacing beats cramming across a wide range of material.
