Why flashcards?
Re-reading notes feels productive but builds false confidence. Trying to recall the answer before seeing it (active recall) is one of the most effective study techniques in learning research — and that's exactly what flashcards make you do.
How to use it
- Write one question and answer per line, separated by | (e.g. Capital of Morocco | Rabat). A dash or Tab works too, so you can paste from a spreadsheet.
- Click “Start studying”, read the question and try to recall the answer.
- Tap the card to flip it. Click “Got it” if you were right, otherwise “Again”.
- Missed cards come back at the end of the round until you've mastered them all.
Your cards are saved automatically in this browser on this device and never sent to a server.
Ideas
- Key terms and definitions.
- Dates and historical events.
- Vocabulary: word on the front, meaning on the back.
- Maths and physics formulas.
Tips
One short idea per card, written in your own words. Review at spaced intervals — today, in two days, in a week. Spaced review sticks far better than cramming the night before.
