Brainscape helps you learn faster and remember for longer

The brain is hardwired to learn and remember information a certain way. The Brainscape™ flashcard app was born out of the conviction that if we leveraged this hardwiring, we could help students learn much more efficiently.

Developed by our team of cognitive scientists from Columbia and Yale, Brainscape’s "secret sauce" is a learning algorithm that delivers information to your brain in a way that optimizes its ability to retain that information. And it’s the spaced repetition of Nursing content at precisely the right interval for YOUR brain that makes Brainscape so effective for remembering the facts.
