What is Spaced Repetition?

Spaced Repetition is a study method that shows each card right before you are likely to forget it. It combines active recall with smart scheduling so you remember more with less total study time.

💡 Why it works

• You try to recall first, then reveal the answer.

• You rate how well you knew it.

• Flashka schedules the next review at the right time.
  Result: stronger long-term memory and fewer cramming sessions.

🏁 Where to start

• From Flashcard view. Click Study now and choose Spaced Repetition.

• From Document view. Click Study now in the right panel.

• From To-Do. Check your To Review list and start.

🏷️ What the tags mean

• New. Cards you have never seen in Spaced Repetition.

• To Review. Cards due today based on your schedule.

• Done. Cards completed for today.

🎮 The study screen

• Show answer. Press the button or hit Space to reveal the back.

• Audio. Play the card aloud when available.

• AI Helps. Ask Professor Ka for hints or explanations.

• Shuffle. Randomize order for this session.

• Quit Study. Leave the session and keep your progress.

🧠 Rate yourself after revealing

Choose one option that matches how well you knew the answer. The text below each button shows when the card will return next.

• Impossible. You did not know it. Schedules very soon.

• Hard. You barely got it. Schedules soon.

• OK. You knew it with some effort. Schedules later.

• Easy. You knew it instantly. Schedules much later.
  Be honest. Accurate self-ratings are what make the algorithm powerful.

🛠️ During study

• Edit a card if you spot a mistake. Changes save instantly.

• Convert long answers into lists or cloze items to make recall cleaner.

• Use AI Helps for a quick explanation or rephrase of the concept.

💡 Tips

• Keep sessions regular. Daily 10–20 minutes beats a weekly marathon.

• If a card feels confusing, rewrite the back or split it into two simpler cards.

• For languages, speak the answer aloud before revealing.

• If you consistently hit Impossible, reduce the number of New cards for the day.
