| 18. Do you have to manually key in the answer when being tested on cards?
|
|
No. The whole theory behind PC Flash Cards is to eliminate the need for handwritten flashcards but to also streamline your testing. It would be way too time consuming if you were to type your answers for each question. Think of how you answer questions on handwritten flash cards….. you answer them in your head… that is what you do with PC Flash Cards and then you select if you got the answer correct, almost correct, or completely wrong.

No. Anyone can use those cards. We organize it by University so that students can find the specific class they want to study for. We all know that every teacher, college, county and state teaches things differently so it makes sense to study the cards that pertain to a particular course.
|
| 22. How do I organize or file my flash cards.
|
|
You define the way you organize your flashcards. Besides having separate databases you have 4 categories (Major, SubMajor, Minor, SubMinor) within each database that you can use to 'file' your cards. For example, the Major could be Science or Math (let's go with Science for this example), the SubMajor could be Biology 101, the Minor could be Exam 1, and the SubMinor could be Chapters 1-4. You can have multiple categories within each higher category… for example, within the Science Major you could have 10 different science courses. The number of categories and subcateogries is unlimited. There is a full explanation of this in the documentation you receive when you purchase PC Flash Cards.
