Achieving Your Study Goals
Prioritize your studies and get insights on your learning progress.
The Daily Learning GoalMotivate yourself and be sure you're staying on track by setting a goal for how many flashcards you want to practice.
Practicing Specific FlashcardsMost of the time RemNote shows all due flashcards, but sometimes you may want to pick a specific topic or group of cards to practice.
Flashcard StatisticsStatistics in the Flashcard Home and the flashcard metadata screen help you understand how your studies are going.
Setting Priorities and Disabling FlashcardsTo make better use of your limited study time, tell RemNote which material is currently most important for you.
The Flashcard Home
How many flashcards should I make?Right-size your flashcard collection by starting small, focusing on complexity rather than number, and understanding your constraints.
Card Design
Write effective flashcards that are easier and faster to practice.
Dealing with Leech CardsLeeches are cards that you forget over and over again. Identifying and fixing leeches is key to an enjoyable and efficient study experience.
Can I make my cards appear in a specific order?You can’t force a specific order for all flashcards, but there are some exceptions, and most cards can be redesigned to work well alone.
Using Multiple-Choice Flashcards EffectivelyMultiple-choice questions are a useful tool in some cases, but reframing them often yields flashcards that are more efficient and useful.
Writing Atomic FlashcardsFor more efficient, enjoyable study sessions, make your flashcards as clean and small as possible.
