Flashcard Study Tips

Here are some effective ways to use your flashcards:
  • Spaced Repetition: Review cards at increasing intervals to improve long-term retention
  • Active Recall: Test yourself by viewing the term first, then attempt to recall the definition
  • Interleaving: Mix up different types of content rather than focusing on one topic at a time
  • Customize Your Cards: Add images, diagrams, or additional context to enhance your learning
