Gimkit’s Smart Repetition feature is designed to help students learn more effectively by adjusting how questions appear during games and assignments. This feature ensures that players reinforce their knowledge in a way that is tailored to their performance.
Understanding Smart Repetition
Unlike traditional quiz games, where questions appear randomly or in a fixed order, Gimkit uses a dynamic repetition system. Players initially answer all available questions once. After that, questions are repeated, but the frequency is based on their performance.
- If a player answers a question incorrectly, they are more likely to see that question again.
- A lottery-style system is used to decide which questions reappear, prioritizing those that were answered incorrectly.
- This ensures that players spend more time reviewing the material they struggle with while still encountering a variety of questions.
Personalized Question Cycles
One of the most unique aspects of Smart Repetition is that it is entirely personalized for each student. Every player experiences a unique question order based on their responses.
Student | Question Repetition Based On |
Student A | Answers from Student A |
Student B | Answers from Student B |
Student C | Answers from Student C |
For example, if Student A gets a particular question wrong, that question will appear more frequently in their game. However, if Student B answered the same question correctly, they might not see it again as often. This approach prevents unnecessary repetition for students who already understand the material while reinforcing concepts for those who need extra practice.

Always Active, No Setup Required
One of the best parts of Smart Repetition is that it is always enabled. Teachers and students do not need to adjust settings or activate special features. It works automatically in all game modes and assignments, making learning seamless and adaptive.
This feature provides a more effective learning experience by ensuring students receive targeted practice without manual intervention. Whether in a classroom setting or during an individual study session, Smart Repetition helps students retain information in a more structured and meaningful way.
Why Smart Repetition Matters
Traditional study methods often rely on simple repetition without considering the learner’s specific needs. Gimkit’s approach is different because it tailors the experience for each student. Instead of revisiting all questions equally, students spend more time on the areas where they need improvement. This method enhances retention and understanding while keeping gameplay engaging.
