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.
