How to Use Flash Cards

Flashcards can help any student at any level. They are simply a great way to memorize material.

I recommend using three piles for flash cards. As you quiz yourself put each card into one of the three piles. If you know the card without any hesitation put it in the "know" pile. If you can remember with a little hesitation, put it into the "ok" pile. Lastly, if you cannot remember the answer put the card into the "needs work" pile. The better you know something the faster you can answer it. Recall time is an indication of how well you know the material.

Here is some good news: each time you quiz yourself, you will be putting more and more cards into the "know" pile. Make enough study time. Keep working on the stack until you have all the cards in the "know" pile.

I recommend that you look at the cards more than once a day. One of the keys to memorization is to review the material as many times as possible. So, I say to look at the cards once in the morning, once midday (Code Cards fit nicely in your lunch bucket), and once at night. Code Cards are powerful learning tools that can really help.
