Studies prove that flashcards are the best method for memorization. Opti Flashcards enable you to focus on one bite-sized piece of information at a time. Review the information again and again -- make sure you really know it before you progress. Best of all, with Opti Flashcards, each time you progress, you can quickly and easily review what you just learned to really cement it in your mind.
This flash card study system is based on the Leitner system. This widely used method to efficiently use flashcards was proposed by the German science popularizer Sebastian Leitner in the 1970s. In his method, known as the Leitner system, flashcards are sorted into groups according to how well you know each one. This is how it works: you try to recall the answer on the back of an Opti Flashcard. If you succeed, you send the card to the next group. But if you fail, you send it back to the first group. Each succeeding group has a longer period of time before you are required to revisit the cards.

System, you have 3 groups of cards that you will place in one of three boxes called Box 1, Box 2 and Box 3. The cards in Box 1 are the ones that you often make mistakes with, and Box 3 contains the cards that you know very well. You might choose to study the Box 1 cards once a day, Box 2 every 3 days and Box 3 cards every 5 days. If you look at a Group 1 card and get the correct answer, you "promote" it to Box 2. A correct answer with a Box 2 card "promotes" that card to Box 3. If you make a mistake with a Box 2 or Box 3 card, it gets "demoted" to Box 1 which forces you to study that card more often.
The advantage of this method is that you can focus on the most difficult flashcards, which remain in the first few groups. The result is, ideally, a reduction in the amount of study time needed.
