Why Flashcards & Quizzes Work

Research consistently shows that active recall and spaced repetition are the most effective study techniques. Instead of passively rereading notes:

  • βœ“Flashcards force retrieval: You must recall information from memory, strengthening neural pathways
  • βœ“Quizzes identify gaps: Instantly see which concepts you haven't mastered
  • βœ“Spaced repetition optimizes retention: Review at increasing intervals to combat the forgetting curve

But creating quality flashcards manually is time-consuming. That's where AI comes in.
