Cramming

Do you have an exam tomorrow? Cram mode can help.

Cram mode is variation of the traditional flashcard study program, optimized for learning large amounds of data as quickly as possible. Cram mode is essentially a streamline version of the long term study tools. Read the long term memory section for full details.

Here is a summary:

  1. Flashcards start in the first of 5 cram levels.
  2. When a flashcard is answered correctly it moves to cram level 2. Incorrectly answered cards stay at cram level 1.
  3. When you have promoted all the flashcards out of cram level 1, start studying cram level 2. Correct cards move to cram level 3. Incorrect cards are demoted to cram level 1.
  4. Continue until all flashcards are promoted beyond cram level 5—these flashcards are now considered memorized. If a flashcard is ever answered incorrectly it will return to cram level 1.
  5. You are finished when all flashcards have been answered correctly 5 times in a row.
  6. There is no faster way to learn!

Printing Introduction

Flashcard printing can be complicated. How do you set up the cards properly for back-to-back printing? How do you scale the images to fit in the available space? We have solved these and other problems with our comprehensive flashcard printing program.

Features:

  • High quality PDF printouts work on any computer that can run Adobe Reader.
  • Print directly on 3“x5”, 4“x6” or 5“x8” index cards.
  • Select from an expanding variety of TrueType fonts, including many Asian fonts.
  • Short answer test format.
  • Scale images and set image placement.
  • Print answers upside down in a reversed position to align properly and allow you to flip the flashcards vertically.
  • Use a variety of paper sizes and types. Print on card stock!
  • Support for duplex printers (2 sided printing).
  • Set the default colors for the background, fonts, and borders.
  • Precisely set paper sizes, margins, padding, alignment, font sizes, and more.

Paper Folding
If you don't want to deal with back-to-back printing the paper folding technique is a great way to go.
