The study system
Flashcards and spaced repetition
Updated 2026-08-21
Your flashcards run on a real spaced-repetition scheduler (FSRS — the modern algorithm behind the best memory apps). Instead of you deciding what to review, the system schedules each card at the moment you're about to forget it, which is when a review builds the most retention.
How to use it
- Open Flashcards in your exam and review what's due. Grade yourself honestly — the schedule adapts to how well you actually knew each card.
- Come back daily. Short daily reviews beat long weekly ones — that's the entire science of it. Cards you know well stretch out to longer intervals; cards you struggle with come back sooner.
Three ways cards get into your deck
- The built-in decks for your exam — written to the exam's blueprint.
- From a missed question — "Save to flashcards" on any question you got wrong.
- From the study guide — select any passage in the reader and choose "Make flashcard" (paid passes).
On the free trial, the first domain of your exam is fully open with the real scheduler — real cards, real spacing, across days. The remaining decks unlock with any pass.
Progress tracking: your dashboard shows cards graduated, in learning, and untouched — and your due count, so you always know today's review load.
