Auto-Flashcards
Auto-flashcards convert your missed QBank questions into concise study cards automatically. They’re designed for fast, targeted review so you can close knowledge gaps quickly.
Features
- Instant creation: Cards are generated from missed QBank items right after you finish a block (once it’s scored).
- Card anatomy:
- Front: Short question stem + the key discriminating fact.
- Back: Correct answer + one-paragraph rationale (why it’s right, why others aren’t).
- All in one place: Review them from your dashboard’s flashcards area.
- Focused practice: Use for rapid review of weak topics you just missed.
What Becomes a Card?
- Missed QBank items from completed/graded blocks.
- Cards are not created from unsubmitted or incomplete blocks.
- (Optional, when available) You can include flagged or guessed-correct questions in settings to pre-empt shaky topics.
Where to Find Them
- Open your Dashboard.
- Go to the Flashcards / Auto-flashcards section.
- Use filters (e.g., subject/system, block date) to target what you want to review.
Card Anatomy (Example)
| Side | Content |
|---|---|
| Front | 63-year-old with exertional chest pain, normal rest ECG. Next best test? Key fact: Pain is predictable, relieved by rest. |
| Back | Exercise ECG stress test. Rationale: Stable angina with interpretable ECG → exercise ECG first. Imaging/chemical stress reserved for baseline ECG abnormalities or inability to exercise. |
Recommended Review Workflow
- Right after a block (5–10 min): Do a quick pass through newly created cards—keep momentum while the context is fresh.
- Daily session (10–20 min): Review recent misses. Aim for consistency over marathon sessions.
- Keep edits tight: If you edit a card, trim to the one cue that distinguishes the correct diagnosis/step.
- Tag patterns: If multiple cards share the same trap (e.g., “over-treating asymptomatic bacteriuria”), add a tag so you can batch-review later.
Settings & Tips
- Auto-create: Leave on to capture every miss without extra clicks.
- Daily cap: If you’re overwhelmed, cap new cards/day so reviews stay doable.
- Duplicates: When cards look similar, keep the clearest version and archive the rest.
- Images & tables: If a question hinges on an image or table, keep only the essential crop or a one-line description on the front to stay quick.
Best Practices
- Short front, smart back: Front = minimal prompt; Back = answer + brief “because…”. Avoid pasting the full explanation.
- One idea per card: Split multi-concept explanations into separate cards.
- Close the loop: If a card stays hard after multiple reviews, revisit the full question explanation and your notes.
Troubleshooting
- Cards didn’t appear: Confirm the block was submitted and scored. Refresh the dashboard after a few seconds.
- Too much text on cards: Edit to compress the front to one cue; move details to the back or a second card.
- Not seeing images: Some cards omit large media by default to keep reviews fast; open the original question if needed.
- Feature missing? If you don’t see Auto-flashcards in your dashboard, check your plan/org settings or contact support.
