Your first session

The easiest way to get started is to create a small deck and review it.

Create a deck

Open Flashcards and create a new deck.

Add a few cards from something you are already studying. Keep each card focused on one question or fact.

For example:

• Good: What year did X happen?
• Less useful: Summarize chapter 3.

Review your cards

Start a review session.

Try to recall the answer before revealing it, then choose the grade that best matches how difficult the card felt.

Mnemo uses that grade to decide when the card should appear again.

Come back later

Once the session is finished, you are done for now.

Cards will return as they become due. Reviewing regularly is more useful than trying to repeat everything at once.

You can read more about the scheduling approach on the science page.
