Retrieval practice, which consists of trying to remember content already seen, is considered as one of the most effective strategies to generate long-term learning. In order to promote its effective use, this narrative review focuses on suggesting guidelines for the application of different test formats, often used to practice retrieval, and pointing out advantages and disadvantages of each. As a result, the reviewed research encompassed students from kindergarten through undergraduation. Overall, retrieval practice can benefit the learning of different content, providing test formats are suitable to the learner's age, regardless of the materials used.
