Get Started Reviewing Flashcards

Once you’ve created your flashcards, you’re ready to start learning.

Reviewing your flashcards improves your memory and confidence. This process is called active recall, a technique that is proven to help you retain more information and retrieve knowledge when you need it most in classes, exams, or discussions.

Use scheduling options to create a revision strategy, then review flashcards on your computer or phone, making it easy to fit in revision wherever you are.

Flashcard Confidence Scores

When you review your collections, you assign each flashcard a confidence score based on how well you know the content:

• 1 star if you got the question incorrect, or didn’t know the material
• 2 stars if you got the question partially correct or weren’t confident with the material
• 3 stars if you got the question correct or were confident with the material

Reviewing your Flashcards

You can start a review in three ways:

• Choosing a collection and click ‘Review all’ in the top right-hand corner.
• Choosing a collection on the Luna homepage, and click ‘Start review’, this may appear as ‘Review early’ if you have scheduling set up for the collection.

• Choosing a collection, select the ‘Info’ tab, and click ‘Start review’ under the scheduling options.

  
  

  

Once you’ve started a review, follow the instructions below:

1. Look at the question card or true or false statement, and answer to yourself.
2. Click reveal to show the answer. At the bottom of the screen, a prompt will appear: ‘How confident are you with this card?’ and stars numbered 1 to 3.
3. Choose 1, 2, or 3 stars based on how confident you are with the material on the flashcard.
4. Steps 1 to 3 will repeat until you have reviewed all the flashcards in the collection.
5. When all flashcards have been reviewed, Luna will give you a breakdown of how many flashcards you assigned each confidence score, as well as a confidence score for the whole collection.
6. If you want to review your 1 star or low-confidence score flashcards again, you can click ‘Retake’ to review these cards again.
7. If you are finished reviewing your flashcards, click ‘Finish’ at the bottom of the breakdown to return to the Luna homepage.

Collection Confidence

Collection confidence is rated level 1 to level 5, with level 1 being not very confident and level 5 being the most confident.

Reviewing your flashcards aims to raise your collection confidence to level 5, showing that you’ve conquered your content and are ready for your exams!
