Exams

Change or finish an exam

Change an exam's day, topics or plan, leave cards out, and mark it done.

Everything about an exam is changed right on its page, and applies at once.

Its name, look and day

Click the exam’s name to rename it, or its tile to change its icon and color. The day next to Study, such as “Fri, Nov 13 · in 9 days”, opens a calendar for the day of the exam, with when it starts below. If a new day no longer fits the start, the start moves to the nearest day that does. Before an exam has started, Start today starts it right away.

Its plan

Edit plan in the … menu changes how well prepared you want to be and your study days. If the busiest day takes more than an hour, the page warns you and offers what makes the days lighter.

Its topics and cards

  • Add topics adds topics to the exam, and Remove next to a topic takes it out. An exam always keeps at least one topic.
  • On the Cards tab, Leave out on a topic’s section leaves that topic and its subtopics out of the exam. The section stays, greyed, with Bring back.
  • Leave out of the exam on a card leaves just that card out, and Bring back brings back the cards you left out.

The chips at the top of the Cards tab only hide topics from view, so you can look at one at a time. They don’t change the exam.

Mark it done

After the exam, choose Mark as done in the … menu. It’s also done by itself the day after the exam. A done exam moves to the Done tab of Exams and shows how ready you were, as saved when you marked it done, or else on the day of the exam.

If you marked an exam done by mistake, Reopen takes it back, as long as its day hasn’t passed and you have room for another exam that isn’t done (see Add an exam).

After the exam

Once an exam is done, its cards go back to spaced repetition and their topics, with everything you learned. Since the exam studied them all close together, Memorics spreads them out over the weeks after, so they don’t all come due on the same day. There’s no grade to enter.

Delete it

Move to trash in the … menu moves the exam to the trash, with Undo. Only the exam is deleted: its topics, cards and your progress stay as they are. It can be restored from the Exams tab of the trash for 30 days. See The trash.
