I am a big fan of Spaced Repetition.. I think the system really works. I remember using it marginally for my MCATs.. For Step I am going to make it the center of my studying strategy..

Could someone tell me if there is any scientific data as to how many 'passes' one needs to have in order for the info to stick ?
I remembering cranking up my EBSCO account and looking up a few papers on this a while ago but dont quite remember specifically...

What would be the average number of passes needed to nail most of the data ? (and by most i mean >95%)
