Studying cards with levels of difficulty

Using the StudyCards™ Creator, you can group cards by their
level of difficulty. The goal of this study technique is to advance
through all of the levels in a stack by correctly answering the
required number of cards at each level.

To advance from one level to the next, you must answer roughly
80 percent of the cards correctly. After you have correctly
answered the required number of cards in a level, pressing „ at
the end of a run advances you to the next level.

When you fail to answer correctly the required number of cards,
pressing „ at the end of a run starts the same level over again.

Note When 80 percent of the total number of cards in a level is less

than a whole number, StudyCards Viewer uses the next lower
whole number.

For example, if a level consists of four cards, you must answer
three cards (75%) correctly before you can advance to the next
level. If a level consists of two cards, you must answer one card
(50%) correctly before you can advance.

To study a level out of sequence, press the function key
corresponding to the Level menu and select a level.

Using the Normal study mode

The default Normal study mode lets you set up a study session
as a series of runs through a stack. A run occurs when you view
each available card in a stack. Runs continue until every card is
answered correctly, which completes the study session.

For a stack without difficulty levels (or when the

Ignore Levels

format option is turned on), all cards are available in the first run.
After the first run, cards answered correctly are discarded and

reintroduced

at random in following runs. Following runs thus
consist of cards from previous runs that have been answered
incorrectly or answered correctly and then reintroduced.

At the end of each run, a screen displays this information:

• Run number (This is the number of runs that have occurred

so far in the study session.)

• Number of cards to be reintroduced in the next run

• Cards left to study (Cards answered incorrectly in the

previous run are included in the next run.)

• Next run number

Tip To prevent cards from being reintroduced, press ƒ 4:Format to

open the

For a stack with difficulty levels

(and with Ignore Levels turned off),
the StudyCards™ Viewer sets up the first run (Run #1) through
level 1 cards. When you correctly answer the required number

of
level 1 cards in the run, the StudyCards Viewer sets up the first
run (Run #1) through level 2 cards.

TI-89/TI-92 Plus/Voyage™ 200 PLT StudyCards™ Viewer Page 20

When you fail to correctly answer the required number of cards
in a run, the StudyCards Viewer sets up a second run (Run #2)
through the same level 1 cards. Runs continue in level 1 until
you answer the required number of cards correctly.

This same process occurs for each level in a stack until the
required number of cards has been answered correctly at all
levels.

Tip You can study levels out of sequence. For example, to skip

level 1 and level 2 cards to study level 3 cards, open the Level
menu and select level 3.

Using the Test study mode

You can study cards as a test in which the correct answers and
the results are unavailable until the test is over. All cards in a
stack are included in the test, and difficulty levels are ignored.

cards have advanced to the next box.

displays the following information for results analysis:

• List of cards in a stack, level, box, or test

• Answers (correct, incorrect, or skipped) by card for each run

through a stack, level, box, or test

• Score for the selected card (if available)

• Cumulative score for the stack (if available)

Note For cards in levels or boxes, only results for cards at the current

level or box appear initially. To view results for other levels or

Score for selected
card

An analysis might suggest that additional study is needed:

• The

x column reveals that five of the ten cards in the stack

were answered incorrectly at least once.

• The selected card (Parker’s Fort) was answered incorrectly

three out of the four times viewed.

• One card (Parker Colony) was answered incorrectly twice.

• (Card Score: 0/10) The score for the selected card is 0

points out of a possible 10 points.

• (Score: 100/150) The score for the session is 100 points out

of a possible 150 points, or 67 percent.

Scoring

Score values are an optional feature determined when card
stacks are created using the StudyCards™ Creator. The
StudyCards Viewer does not calculate a score unless values are
assigned in the StudyCards Creator. (For information on setting
score values, see the StudyCards Creator Help available with
the StudyCards Creator.)

To calculate the total score for a stack, the StudyCards Viewer
sums the scores for every card in the stack.

TI-89/TI-92 Plus/Voyage™ 200 PLT StudyCards™ Viewer Page 28

To calculate the score for an individual card, the StudyCards
Viewer uses these criteria:

• The value for a correct answer is added only once to a card’s

score, regardless how many times the card is answered
correctly.

• The value for an incorrect or skipped answer is deducted

from the card’s score each time the card is answered
incorrectly or skipped, down to a minimum score of 0.

Sorting results

Use sorting options to manipulate how results

are displayed and
to help analyze the results of your study sessions. For example,
sorting the results for each card by the percentage of incorrect
answers is one way to quickly determine your weakest areas.

You can sort results in either ascending or descending order by:

• Incorrect answers

• Correct answers

• Skipped answers

• Card titles

TI-89/TI-92 Plus/Voyage™ 200 PLT StudyCards™ Viewer Page 29

• Percentage of incorrect answers out of the total number of

answers

This example shows results for a study session using multiple-

choice cards. Results are sorted in ascending order by title.

To determine the most difficult cards, sort the same results in
descending order by the percentage of incorrect answers:

1. Press „

Sort. The Sort dialog box appears.

2. Select 2:Descending and press ¸.
