How to make useful study flashcards

Useful flashcards prompt one clear answer. A card should help you retrieve a fact, distinction, or explanation, not hide a whole chapter behind one question.

  1. Ask a specific question on the front.
  2. Keep the answer short and checkable.
  3. Separate cards that test several ideas at once.
