Why custom Anki cards beat pre-made decks

Pre-made decks rarely match the lecture you sat through, so the most useful Anki cards are the ones built from your own material.

  • Cards match your course readings and slides rather than generic content.
  • Each card can be checked and edited before you start studying.
  • Spaced repetition schedules reviews so you spend less time on what you already know.
  • Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV is available on Plus.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for World War I causes?

Start with 15 to 25 cards covering militarism, alliances, imperial rivalries and the assassination at Sarajevo, then add more where you notice gaps. Short cards that test one cause each are easier to review daily.

How should I write a good flashcard for history causes?

Put one fact on each card and ask for a specific item, such as naming the members of the Triple Entente. Avoid long lists on a single card because they are hard to grade honestly.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free way to try it first?
