Quizlet has millions of flash cards created by other users that you can start studying right away. There are two ways to find these flash cards:

1) Browse

Click “Find Flashcards” in the top menu, which will take you to our “Top 100 subjects” page. Choose the subject you’re studying to see a more detailed page with subtopics, and click “see all” next to any subtopic to see a full list of the flash card sets you can study.

2) Search

Use the search box in the upper right hand corner to search for either the subject or a specific term that’s related to what you want to study. The search results page will show you the most recent relevant flash card sets for that search term and groups who are studying that topic (if any).

There are multiple ways to study your flash cards, from testing yourself with a quiz to playing games that challenge your speed.

Select a flash card set you want to study (from your dashboard page or the find flashcards page) to be directed to its main page. From there, you can choose Familiarize, Learn, Test, Play Scatter, or Play Space Race. Each link gives you a different way to study your terms. You can find the method that’s best for you or mix it up and use them all!

Familiarize: Familiarize tests you in a way similar to traditional paper flash cards. One side of the card is shown, and clicking on “Show Term” will reveal the other side. Checking the “Show Both Sides” box on the top of the card will divide the screen in two with the term and definition on the same page so you can study them together.

Learn: Learn is a powerful study mode that keeps track of your scores, retests incorrect answers, and lets you pause and resume study sessions. Learn mode tests you on the terms to see whether you remember the definitions. Type the answer in the box below the term and click “Answer.” The correct answer will appear, and your score will show under “Incorrect” or “Correct” on the left side of the page.

Test: Selecting Test will generate a quiz with written, multiple choice, matching, and true/false questions. By selecting the boxes on the right side of the page, you can generate a test using the type and number of questions that you prefer. After you have answered each question, click the “Check Answers” button. The correct answers will appear and your score (both percentage and letter grade) will be generated on the right side of the page.

Play Scatter: Scatter is a game of matching. Your terms and definitions will appear on the page and it’s your task to make them disappear by dragging and dropping the terms on their corresponding definitions while the clock at the top of the page tests your time.

Play Space Race: Space Race is a game that tests how quickly you can provide the definition for each term. Each term will scroll across the screen and it’s your task to type the corresponding definition and press enter before the term reaches the other side of the screen. Your score will be shown in the bottom right corner of the page.

To combine multiple sets to study at once, click the “Combine with other sets” link on the specific set’s page. You will then be directed to the “Combine Sets” page. To add the sets you want to combine, click the plus sign next to the set, then select “Export” from the scroll-down menu. To remove them, click the subtract sign. After clicking “Export,” you can copy the terms, and then paste them into a new set.
