FAQ: What are the different ways to study flash cards on
Quizlet?
There are multiple ways to study your flash cards, from testing yourself with a quiz to
playing games that challenge your speed.
Select a flash card set you want to study (from your dashboard page or the fi nd fl ashcards
page) to be directed to its main page. From there, you can choose Familiarize, Learn, Test,
Play Scatter, or Play Space Race. Each link gives you a different way to study your terms.
You can find the method that's best for you or mix it up and use them all!
Familiarize: (shown automatically on the set's main page) Familiarize tests you in a way
similar to traditional paper flash cards. One side of the card is shown, and clicking on
"Click to flip" will reveal the other side. Checking the "Both Sides" box on the top right hand
corner of the card will divide the screen in two with the term and definition on the same
page so you can study them together. In the upper left hand corner of the card you have
option to see familiarize full screen and you can choose to shuffle the order of the cards.
Learn: Learn is a powerful study mode that keeps track of your scores, retests incorrect
answers, and lets you pause and resume study sessions. Learn mode tests you on the
terms to see whether you remember the definitions. Type the answer in the box below the
term and click "Answer." The correct answer will appear, and your score will show under
"Incorrect" or "Correct" on the left side of the page.
Test: Selecting Test will generate a quiz with write in the answer, multiple choice,
matching, and true/false questions. By selecting the boxes on the right side of the page,
you can generate a customized test using the type and number of questions that you
prefer. After you have answered each question, click the "Check Answers" button. The
correct answers will appear and your score (both percentage and letter grade) will be
generated on the right side of the page.
Play Scatter: Scatter is a game of matching. Your terms and definitions will appear on the
page and it's your task to make them disappear by dragging and dropping the terms on
their corresponding definitions while the clock at the top of the page tests your time.
Play Space Race: Space Race is a game that tests how quickly you can provide the
definition for each term. Each term will scroll across the screen and it's your task to type
the corresponding definition and press enter before the term reaches the other side of the
screen. Your score will be shown in the bottom right corner of the page.

FAQ: How do I make flash cards on Quizlet?
Creating a flashcard set is fun and easy on Quizlet! Here are some key steps:
To begin, click on the “Make Flashcards” link on the top of the page and you will be
directed to a page that says “Create a New Flashcard Set.”
Choose a title for your new set and a subject. Assigning your set a subject will group
it with other sets in the same category into subject folders on your dashboard– for
example, Spanish or Biology.
Decide whether you want to share your set with everyone, with your groups, with only
certain people, password protect it, or whether you would prefer to make it private.
You can also choose who can edit the set – certain people or just yourself. By checking
the “Allow Set Discussion” box, you are activating a chat box that will appear on your
set page so other students can discuss your set.
Now add terms and definitions. You can manually type them in. You can use Quizlet's
'auto-define' capability (which appears under your term as you type it in) to get
suggestions for definitions based on others' flashcards. To add more than five terms,
click the plus button (or press return on your keyboard) next to the last term you’ve
entered and room for more terms will appear.
Another option is to import entire vocabulary lists into your set at once. Click the
“bulk-import data” link, paste your complete vocabulary list into the data box, and
click “Import.” All the terms and definitions will automatically be entered into your set.
You can also use terms from someone else’s set by clicking “Export” on that set’s
page.
When you are done entering terms, click the “Create Set” button and your set will be saved
in your dashboard. Be careful not to double-click the button or you may receive an error
message.
