Active Recall App
Study by testing yourself. Flashcards + spaced repetition = better retention and higher grades.
See a question → recall the answer → check. That's active recall.
Why use an active recall app?
Science-backed: recall beats re-reading for retention
Flashcards force you to retrieve, not just recognize
Spaced repetition shows cards when you're about to forget
AI-generated cards from notes—less prep, more practice
