FAQ: How do I make flash cards on Quizlet?
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.
