This page covers the features and use of Flashcards.

How to use the Flashcards

The easiest way to learn is for me to show you! Watch the following video if you need a little demonstration.

Proficiency Mode

I have recently turned on a new Proficiency mode for the flashcards by default.

You know it's on because you will see the words "Round" and "Cards left" at bottom of a set:

How Proficiency mode works

Video Demo

Short Version

• All cards begin at Level 1. 
• Each round, you always see Level 1 cards. 
• If you know a card, it moves up a level. 
• If you don’t know a card, it goes back to Level 1. 
• When a card reaches Level 3, it’s mastered and no longer shown.

Long Version

• All cards begin at Level 1.
• When you know a card, it moves up a level.
• When you don’t know a card, it goes back to Level 1.
• At the start of each round, you’ll see all Level 1 cards plus a smaller sample of higher-level cards: about half of the Level 2 cards, a third of the Level 3 cards, and so on.
• Cards from higher levels are shown in the order they were added, so older cards come up before newer ones.
• If Level 1 ever becomes empty, the next pile automatically becomes the new Level 1, and the others shift up.
• Cards that reach the final level (Level 3) are mastered and no longer shown.
