Kwiziq's method challenges students to do lots of small kwizzes and is scientifically proven to work! Curious about experiencing this method yourself? Take our test to see the benefits firsthand.
In May 2011, research conducted by McDaniel et al [1] investigated the effects of quiz frequency and placement which showed that students who took regular low-stakes quizzes performed up to an incredible 25% better in exams than those who didn't.
Just six months later, the same group published more research[2], this time investigating whether these effects were enduring. Here's what they concluded: "Once again, we found that quizzing of material produced a positive effect on chapter and semester exams. These results show the robustness of retrieval practice via testing as a learning mechanism... Our results add to a growing body of evidence that retrieval practice in the classroom can boost academic performance." In other words, the benefits of testing regularly are long-term: they last.
Since then a multitude of publications have cited and backed up this research.
