Making Flash Cards vs. Buying Flash Cards

When using physical flash cards, you have the choice of either purchasing readymade ones or making your own. There are advantages for each, which we will cover now. More often than not, however, I would encourage you to make your own, for reasons I will make clear.

Purchasing flash cards is exceptionally easy, and saves time and effort. If you go online, it is easy to find quality flash cards simply by searching “flash cards” on Amazon or eBay alongside the topic you are studying. In most cases there will be decks of cards, often at very reasonable prices. For the sake of ease, buying flash cards ready-to-use is unbeatable. If the thought of making your own is too daunting and you just want an easy introduction to flash cards, purchasing them is advisable. It can also save you a lot of time to purchase them online and have them delivered to your home. So if you are drawing close to a deadline and need flash cards as soon as possible, don’t hesitate to buy them!

However, if you do have the time, it can be much better to make your own flashcards. First of all, it will be cheaper to buy cards and pens rather than purchasing readymade flash cards. For cash-strapped university students in particular, creating your own flash cards will be kind to overstretched bank accounts.

Making your own flash cards should also guarantee good quality. When purchasing flash cards online, there is always a risk that either the physical quality or the way the flash cards are written will not be up to par. However, by making your own flash cards, you can take the time needed to produce quality flash cards.

By creating your own flash cards, you can also be absolutely sure that everything you need to know is on the flash cards – nothing more and nothing less. Unless you buy flash cards from the specific exam board you are studying for, there is little chance that purchased flash cards will be a complete match for what you need to learn for a specific exam. Similarly, if you do decide to buy flash cards, check thoroughly that the ones you buy are as close a match as possible to the course you are studying.

Studying flash cards that contain unneeded information is a waste of your time. Even worse, if the cards do not cover necessary material, you will compromise your exam performance and final grade. Of course, if you are studying a language or are studying for pleasure, there is no risk here. However, if you are studying for an exam, using a deck of flash cards that dovetails as completely as possible with the syllabus is a must.
