Create Study Flashcards Online
Use this free Flashcards tool to create question-and-answer cards for revision. Add a prompt on one side and the answer on the other, then practise recalling the information.
It is useful for vocabulary, definitions, dates, formulas, science facts, language learning and exam revision.
How to use the Flashcards tool
- Enter a question, term or prompt.
- Add the correct answer or explanation.
- Create another card for each topic you want to practise.
- Review the cards and try to answer before revealing the back.
- Repeat difficult cards until you can recall the answer confidently.
Keep each card focused on one fact or idea. Short cards are usually easier to review than long paragraphs.
How flashcards help you study
Flashcards encourage active recall. Instead of simply reading notes, you try to remember the answer before checking it.
They work especially well for:
- vocabulary and spellings;
- formulas and equations;
- definitions and key terms;
- historical dates and events;
- language phrases and verb forms;
- questions from class notes.
Review cards regularly rather than trying to memorise everything in one session.
Tips for better flashcards
- Use one question or fact per card.
- Write answers in simple language.
- Mix easy and difficult cards.
- Mark difficult cards for extra review.
- Combine flashcards with practice questions and a Review Queue.
