My favorite study tool

Brainscape helped me get through a class for a promotion at my job. I made up the cards and I was able to share it with my classmates and study together. I’m up for another opportunity and first thing I thought was to whip out the cards I made 2 years ago and jump right back into it and everything is there just as I left it. Another great thing about it is your decks are downloaded meaning you don’t need any cell service to study. 10/10 would recommend

FAQ

What is Brainscape?

Brainscape is an AI-powered flashcard application designed to help users learn faster and remember longer. It utilizes a scientifically proven spaced repetition algorithm combined with active recall and self-assessment to optimize study time. Users can create their own flashcards or access a large marketplace of expert-curated content.

How does the spaced repetition algorithm work?

The app's intelligent study system presents flashcards at scientifically determined intervals. If you know a concept well, you'll see the flashcard less often. If you struggle with a concept, you'll see it more frequently at shorter intervals until it's deeply ingrained in your memory.

What are the pricing options for Brainscape?

Creating and sharing basic text flashcards is free. For unlimited access to all content, premium features like bookmarks, and image creation, users can upgrade to Pro. Pro subscriptions are available monthly, every six months, annually, or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

What kind of content is available on Brainscape?

Brainscape offers a diverse array of flashcard content created by top experts, publishers, schools, and fellow users. This includes subjects like foreign languages, high-stakes exams (AP, MBE, Series 7, NCLEX, MCAT), and over a million user-generated subjects available on the Knowledge Genome.

Can I create my own flashcards?

Yes, you can easily create and organize thousands of multimedia flashcards featuring text, images, and audio files directly within the app and on the website. You can also share your created decks with classmates and collaborate on content development.
