How to make flashcards online

  1. Type your cards. Put a term or question on the front and the answer on the back. Press Enter to add the next card, or paste a whole list.
  2. Study them right here. Flip each card, move with the arrows, and shuffle when you know the order too well.
  3. Print or save. Print an 8-per-page sheet for paper flashcards, or save the deck to study with spaced repetition.

Tips for flashcards that work

  • One fact per card. Short cards are easier to recall and easier to review.
  • Ask a question on the front. Recalling an answer builds memory faster than rereading a definition.
  • Study both directions. Practice term to definition, then definition to term.
  • Space out your reviews. Reviewing just before you forget beats cramming. The spaced repetition calculator plans review dates for you.
