Studying

Study a topic

Start a session on one topic, and choose how to study it first.

On a topic’s page, Study studies the topic with all its subtopics. Its badge says how many cards it would study now. Press it, or S, to start right away with spaced repetition. When nothing is due, the button says Practice instead and starts practice. See Spaced repetition or practice?

Subtopics that are archived or in the trash are left out. A topic without any cards can’t be studied yet.

Choose before you start

The arrow next to Study opens the options. Its two tabs are Spaced repetition and Practice. On each, choose:

  • How to answer: Flashcards, where you recall the answer, reveal it and rate yourself, or Typing, where you type the answer first. See Type your answers.
  • Which cards: all of them, or only the ones you flagged, with how many there are of each.
  • New cards (spaced repetition only): how many new cards to begin. See New cards each day.

Then choose Start studying or Start practice.

Memorics remembers how you answered last time and uses it next time. Which cards and how many new ones you choose for each session, so a session starts with all cards and the usual new cards unless you choose otherwise.

You can change all of this during a session too, in Options. See During a session.

Other ways to study

  • An exam has its own Study button, which follows the exam’s plan. See Study for an exam.
  • You can study someone else’s topic in the same way, with your own progress. See Study someone else’s topic.
  • An archived topic can still be studied from its page.
