We use machine-learning techniques and cognitive-science-backed algorithms to calculate which cards to show you and when. Your mastery score represents how much of a flashcard set we think you know at any given time — it slowly fades over time without study, just like real memory. Studying again boosts the score back up.How effective actually is it?Very! Flashycards is built on the best research in cognitive and learning science. We use proven techniques like active recall — testing yourself rather than passively re-reading — and spaced repetition, which schedules reviews at the optimal moment before you forget. Together, these methods help you remember more in less time.
