How To Use Note Cards To Study

Creating Your Note Cards

One of the most effective ways to use note cards is for active recall practice. This involves quizzing yourself by covering the answer side of the card and trying to recall the information from memory. If you can't remember, you flip the card over to check the answer. This process reinforces your learning and helps identify areas where you need more practice. Over time, as you become more comfortable with the material, you can gradually increase the difficulty of your self-quizzes or add more complex information to your note cards.
