Flashcard

A flashcard is a two-sided study card with a prompt on one side and the answer on the other, used to practise recall.

You read the prompt, try to answer from memory, then flip to check. That simple loop is active recall, which is why flashcards are one of the most effective ways to memorize facts, terms, and definitions.

Paired with spaced repetition, where you see harder cards more often, flashcards become an efficient way to hold a lot of material in memory.

How StudyPDF does this

Bo makes flashcard decks from your own lectures on request, and you can rate them and export to Anki to keep reviewing.
