Best online free flashcard site/app? (1 Viewer)

[Cute-Duckie]

Hi all! I'm trying to start making flashcards for my Pompeii and Herculaneum unit of Ancient History, but have been struggling to find a good app/site to make flashcards on. I want to do them online instead of on paper as there is so much content to cover, but most sites seem to have a limit on how many cards you can practice/make unless you pay money for them. Does anyone have any recommendations for something I can use? If you have another way of memorising tons of sources and terms then please let me know also

(also apologies if I posted this thread in the wrong section, I wasn't quite sure where to put it).

I didn't use this personally but some of my friends did it's called Anki, pretty sure it's free but you can double check if you like

Anki!!!!! However, make sure to download some plugins, change the background and customise it for yourself. The UI isn't as appealing as Quizlet but it helps me get less distracted, but try it out for yourself to see how you like it!

Anki is good, but be weary that you shouldn't entirely rely on these flashcards as a method to study. It's still linear notes that you transferred into digital form. It's a nice add-on for the stuff you need to memorise, but for making links and connections, Anki is not the way to go!!!!!

I tried anki but it didn't end up working for me, it was too out of sight out of mind. I prefer traditional palm cards, but it does take more time and costs a lot more. For reference, I made around 300 for year 12 biology.

Quizlet is good as well, plus you can do game/practice modes on it to learn better, which may help.

But notes and practice papers is the best way to learn anything, just write it out over and over and over again

Wait people don't? I thought everyone does

why lmfao. Literally access your cards in a press of a button, and as an additional + u dont need to make the format look floury (unlike some people who make their notes look like a dictionary)
