hyper-retention is a new way to study: the same exam, a fraction of the hours. You get your time back, and better grades with it.

How it worksFind your program

“hyper-retention feels like getting everything you need to know for your exam just downloaded into your brain. so good, i used it myself to pass my exams.”

Dima, co-founder

Inefficient studying is expensive. You pay in time.

Uni never taught you how to learn. Not your fault, but you pay for it every exam period: evenings, weekends, the trip you said no to. hyper-retention gives those hours back, because every hour you do spend lands where the exam looks.

  • Time you win back. Friends, family, travel, sleep. Whatever you want, instead of a sixth reread.
  • Grades that go up. Practising what is asked beats rereading what is written. Every time.
  • A future that notices. The year passed in one round, no resit summer, a transcript that opens doors.

the methodyours

passOS was custom-made for this method.

It reads what you remember, schedules what you almost forgot, and drills what the exam actually asks, so you can win your time back and spend it on what really matters.

Drag the slider. The shape is the forgetting curve; the numbers are illustrative, not a measurement of you.

passOS runs it for you.

Which topic is weak, which question comes back, how ready you are. You study; passOS keeps track.

  • Learn. Summaries built from the past exams, highlighted where it counts.
  • Practice. Questions that explain themselves, picked from what you still need to learn.
  • Mock. The real exam before the real exam: same length, same clock, same grading.

Lecture 1: What is an emotion?
Kassin, Fein & Markus (11th ed.) Ch. 3 (p. 62–64, 89–91), Ch. 4 (p. 110–113) · Meston & Frohlich · Dutton & Aron (1974)
IN SHORTEmotions are goal-relevant reactions with three faces: behaviour, feeling and body. Whether arousal becomes fear, anger or attraction depends on the label your mind gives it, and that label can be wrong.

1.1What is an emotion?

Emotions are experiences that occur when we regard our situation as relevant to our active personal goals. It is a mental state caused by stimuli, characterised by three kinds of change:

  • Our behaviour, how we act.
  • Our subjective experience, how we feel.
  • Our physiology, how the systems of the body function.

The most prominent behaviours are facial expressions. Their perception is comparable across cultures; their expression is not, because of display rules.

1.2Emotion versus mood, and arousal

Emotion
Short-lived, with a clear target.
Mood
Long-lasting, with no target.
Arousal
The state of being activated, such as a raised heart rate or sweating.

Exam-oriented, by design

Most summaries compress the book. Ours start from the exam: what does it actually ask, and what do you need to know to answer it. So every hour counts, and no question in the hall is new to you. Written by students who passed this exact exam, and kept up to date.
