Based on 15+ peer-reviewed studies

What happens when two students
start preparing on the same day?

One uses Pursuit. The other uses traditional methods.
Watch them diverge over 6 months.

The data behind the difference

From 2,000 simulated students, modeled on peer-reviewed learning science

Forgetting Curve

How quickly knowledge fades without review

Mastery Over Time

Concepts mastered across 2,000 simulated students

Hour Equivalence

How much traditional study 1 hour of Pursuit replaces

Student Distributions at Month 6

Even with variance, the gap is clear

— probability Pursuit student outperforms at Month 1
— probability at Month 6
— average mastery advantage at 6 months
