Alternatively, you can make your own cards by using a plain piece of paper folded in half (like a small greeting card). On the cover of each folding card is your question; the answer is inside the folded card. Keep quizzing yourself until you are confidently able to correctly answer all the questions in random order. It is said that repetition is the mother of skill. Remember that.

Active flash cards

What’s the difference between ‘flash cards’ and ‘active flash cards’, I can hear you asking. Well, instead of simply writing a word on one side of the flash card and the definition or answer on the other, if you were to draw a unique and appropriate little picture or diagram next to the answer on the reverse, your card would now be an active flash card. The pictures or diagrams are memory aids which make your learning active, by which you recall the material more easily.

Pop quiz

This is a game that you can play with your friends. My father often used this method to make me memorize my multiplication tables. During any random part of the day (including at meals or in the middle of a conversation), he would suddenly ask, say, ‘What is 9 × 13?’ This system forces you to remain on your toes and to develop the ability to remember the information in almost any situation. Most importantly, it is random. You will recall that reciting the multiplication table of, say, 13, was far easier than reciting one random multiple of 13. This is because your brain had often memorized the multiples in a given order, say 13, 26, 39, 52, 65 and so on. The pop quiz method forces your brain to memorize randomly rather than sequentially.

Leitner System

The Leitner system is a popular method of learning using flash cards. Formulated by the German science journalist Sebastian Leitner in the 1970s, it involves placing flash cards with correctly answered questions into later boxes and incorrectly answered flash cards into earlier boxes. In effect, the wrongly answered questions present themselves more frequently, thus forcing one to more frequently review the material that one doesn’t know well enough.
