How it works in Duetoday
When you study a deck you tell Duetoday whether you knew each card. That answer decides when you see the card again. A card you missed returns soon, while a card you knew is pushed further out. Over time your reviews focus on the material you are closest to forgetting.
Steps
- Make a deck from a note (see how to make flashcards).
- Open the deck from the note or from your library.
- Read the question and answer it in your head or out loud before you flip.
- Flip the card and compare your answer.
- Mark it honestly. Choose that you knew it only if you recalled it without help.
- Finish the session. Duetoday tracks your progress through the deck.
- Come back the next day and review again. Short, regular sessions are the point.
Tips
- Be strict with yourself. Marking a half-remembered card as known only moves the problem to exam day.
- Review before adding. Clear your due cards before generating a new deck.
- Start early in the term. Spaced repetition rewards time. A deck started in week 2 is far easier to maintain than one started the week before the exam.
- Pair with practice tests. Once the facts stick, a practice test shows whether you can use them.
