Flashcards Question!

Hello!

Great question. It depends a lot on your familiarity with the content and how soon you're testing. Ideally, I'd recommend that students wait until they make their first pass through the content with the content refreshers before starting to integrate flashcards. Flashcards are a great tool for content retention after you've reviewed through the details, based on the content you're seeing in questions, not just from content sources alone. For students who haven't seen the content in a while, or are learning it new for the first time, creating/using flashcards right away can be really challenging - in those situations, I'd recommend waiting until the application modules.

However, if you're pressed for time (you're testing in less than 2 months), then it might be a good idea to track that content somehow. I'm also not a huge flashcard fan personally, so don't feel obliged to use flashcards if you've tried before and it hasn't really stuck.

Hope that helps!
