The idea of the spaced repetition method is that you repeat (вЂњ AgainвЂќ) a card often enough until it eventually becomes вЂњGoodвЂќ. Note: the app will only show the option вЂњ HardвЂќ for the second time you study the card.

Hard: I remembered the answer, but only with great difficulty.

Once the answer is shown, indicate the difficulty of the question based on how easily you were able to recall the answer: Tap the screen to show the corresponding answer (Back side).

For each flashcard, you will see the question (Front side) first.

Open the More menu (.) in the top-right corner > Study Flashcards.

Repeat the previous step for any other question-answer pair to form a flashcard deck.

These halves respectively correspond to the Front & Back sides of a physical flashcard.

On a new page, write the question in the top half of the page, and the answer in the bottom half.

You'll need to choose GoodNotes Standard or A7 (iPhone) from the first dropdown list (Paper Size), choose Portrait from the second dropdown list (Orientation) and scroll the Essentials category all the way to the right to see the Flashcard template (the very last one in this category).

Create a new notebook that uses one of the built-in Flashcard templates, which isn't yet available for all paper sizes.

And to that end, all you need to do is do a bit of setup and let GoodNotes handle the rest. Put simply, by employing the technique to space out your learning, you can retain more information with less time.

Use content from your PDFs or write out your own questions and answers to help you retain knowledge and further your studying while using GoodNotes 5 and the study mode we employ with the Flashcards, known as Spaced Repetition.

If you're utilising GoodNotes 5 to enhance your studies, then the Flashcards feature is a great tool to revise with.
