q2 i? Under a logistic curve relating time spent to achievement, some hours of study time will be more productive than others depending on the warm-up period and curve position. → Brendan A. Schuetze 2024

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

Analytical implication derived from the logistic curve assumption in the CoMSA. Students at the ceiling or floor of a test are not anticipated to get much benefit from an additional hour of study, while others benefit greatly.

"An interesting implication of the CoMSA is that not every hour of study time is equal. As shown in Fig. 1, if we assume a logistic curve relating time spent to achievement, some hours of study time will be more productive than others."
