Science-backed learning techniques at your finger tips

Active recall

When you’re testing yourself, you have to search your brain to produce an answer. This process of trying to remember is called active recall, and activating that cognitive stress has been shown to increase long-term memory.

Goodnotes allows you to create freeform flashcards with images, handwriting, or typed text, so you can practice active recall for anything and everything.

Spaced repetition

Our brains remember information better when we space out our revision. This way, each time you revise, you’ve taken a break from the material (thus forgetting some of it) and need to actively recall it back again.

Study Sets predict when you’ll forget something and tells you when and what to review, to maximize how much you absorb.

What’s the difference between Study Sets and the experimental flashcards feature?

Study Sets are a new and improved version of the early flashcards paper template. More research has gone into creating this feature, and we will continue to iterate and add new functionality to Study Sets. The flashcard template, however, will still be available for you to use! See here for a guide.
