How do I get started?

First you'll want a set. A set is a list of words and their definitions. The Create Set page is where you can enter your words and definitions. There's a good chance the data you need is already available,

Once you create a set, you will be taken to a set page that will give you three study modes:

  1. Familiarize - Basic flashcards. Use the arrow keys for quick navigation.
  2. Learn - Powerful call-and-response-type learning. It keeps track of your right and wrong answers and retests you on ones you get wrong.
  3. Test - Generates a random test of written, matching, multiple-choice, and true/false questions. Test mode is highly customizable, allowing you to choose which types of questions and how many.

You can always come back to this page by clicking on the Learn Quizlet link from the Home page.


Sharing sets with friends

Quizlet has groups that allow students to collaborate on sets, so data only has to be entered once. This is ideal in a classroom setting where many people might have to know the same vocabulary for the same test. You can browse all the groups, search for groups, or create a new group.


Finding friends or inviting others to Quizlet

The Networking page will help you find your friends who are already on Quizlet. If you know their email or Quizlet username, the networking page can tell you what groups they are in and what they are studying. If you think your friends could benefit from Quizlet, the networking page also provides an easy way to send email invitations to Quizlet.


What if I have questions along the way?

The Help Button First, you might try out the FAQ page for common questions. Also, On some pages, you'll find a red question mark in the top right-hand corner, beneath the Search box. Clicking on it will make a pop up (it won't disrupt the current page) with information about how to use that specific page.
