• A few more tips:
– Write the answer before you peek – don’t just say
it in your head. That proves you really know it.
– As you go through your flashcards, separate the
ones you know from the ones you don’t know.
Then focus your studies on what you don’t know.
– Shuffle the cards periodically so you don’t always
answer the questions in the same order.
– Instead of always starting with the question, flip
the cards over and start with the “answer” – can
you say what the “question” was?
