Settings in Flashcard Mode

Rating:

Choose which flashcards you want to study based on your understanding. For example, before an exam, you can choose to study only the flashcards that you’re not very familiar with.

You can activate as many ratings as you like. If you select all options, all flashcards and their ratings from the set will be displayed.

  • Bad: Displays all the flashcards you’ve rated as “Bad”.
  • OK: Displays all the flashcards you’ve rated as “OK”.
  • Good: Displays all the flashcards you’ve rated as “Good”.
  • Unrated: Displays all the flashcards you’ve not yet rated.

Sort by:

Choose the order in which your flashcards will be displayed.

  • Smart Assistant: Our intelligent flashcard algorithm optimizes the order of your flashcards for you. The order is based on your understanding, when you last saw the flashcard, and how well it was rated. We recommend practicing your flashcards with the Smart Assistant.
  • Random: The flashcards will be displayed in a random order.
  • Newest first: You’ll see the flashcards from the newest to the oldest.
  • Oldest first: You’ll see the flashcards from the oldest to the newest.

Tag:

Here, you can filter flashcards by a specific Tag.

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does my understanding of the flashcards affect the frequency of the flashcards in the Smart Assistant?

Yes, the better you can answer a flashcard, the less frequently it will be shown to you. Conversely, flashcards that you haven’t mastered yet will appear more often.

How is the order of the flashcards determined?

Our algorithm shows you the most relevant flashcards to maximize your learning progress. The frequency at which flashcards are shown depends on how well you’ve already mastered them, when you last answered them, and how well they’ve been rated.

Can I change the order of the flashcards?

Yes, you can display flashcards in chronological or random order. However, we recommend using the StudySmarter flashcard algorithm, as it adapts to your individual learning process.

Will I receive reminders to study?

Yes, if you have enabled notifications, we’ll send you regular reminders to continue your learning process. Continuous learning has been proven to lead to better learning outcomes and less forgetting!
