When you sign up for a Quizlet account, the most important thing is to make sure you use a valid email address. Without a valid email address, you can’t receive the confirmation email that is allows you to log in to the site.

If you have used a valid email address but you still have not received your confirmation email, take the following steps:

1) Wait. It can take up to 24 hours for your confirmation email to be delivered.

2) Check your spam folder or spam filters. Some email addresses have powerful spam blockers that prevent emails from new addresses from getting through without confirmation (this is especially true for school email addresses).

3) If you still haven’t received the email, try signing up again with a new address. It is possible that for whatever reason the email address you originally used is blocking our email or that you may have accidentally typed the wrong address.

4) If none of the above works, use your Facebook account to log in to Quizlet using Facebook Connect.

To change your email address, go to your Dashboard and click on the User Preferences link (or the Settings link under your username in the top right corner of the page). It will direct you to a page where you can type in your new email address.

Click the “Forgotten your password?” link on the login page and enter your username and email address. An email will be sent to you that will allow you to change your password.

Creating a flash card set is fun and easy on Quizlet! Here are some key steps:

• To begin, click on the “Make Flashcards” link on the top of the page and you will be directed to a page that says “Create a New Flashcard Set.”
• Choose a title for your new set and a subject. Assigning your set a subject will group it with other sets in the same category – for example, Spanish or Biology.
• Decide whether you want to share your set with everyone or only certain people, or whether you would prefer to make it private. You can also choose who can edit the set – certain people or just yourself. By checking the “Allow Set Discussion” box, you are activating a chat box that will appear on your set page so other students can discuss your set.
• Now add terms and definitions. You can manually type them in. You can also use Quizlet’s ‘auto-define’ capability (which appears under your term as you type it in) to get suggestions for definitions based on others’ flashcards. To add more than five terms, click the plus button next to the last term you’ve entered and room for more terms will appear.
• Another option is to import entire vocabulary lists into your set at once. Click the “Import into this set” link, paste your complete vocabulary list into the data box, and click “Import.” All the terms and definitions will automatically be entered into your set.
• You can also use terms from someone else’s set. To do so, first click “Export” on that set’s page. Copy the terms, then select “Make Flashcards” at the top of your page. From there you can import all the terms at once by selecting “Import.”

When you are done entering terms, click the “Create Set” button and your set will be saved in your dashboard. Be careful not to double-click the button or you may receive an error message.

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).

Quizlet is a study tool for students, and therefore does not include monitoring capabilities for teachers.

However, if you know your students’ usernames, you can go to their individual dashboards to see what they have been studying.

Also, some teachers occasionally ask students to print screenshots of Quizlet tests or results.
