In addition, the flash card system uses the Leitner method. This is a method for the effective use of flashcards. It uses the concept of spaced repetition, where the system reviews cards at increasing intervals.

In this method, you organize the flashcards into study groups according to how well you remember each one in the learning box. It works like this. Recall the answer on a flashcard. If you succeed, the card goes to the next group. However, if you fail, the card goes back to the first group. Thereafter, it takes each succeeding group a longer time frame before you must revisit the cards.
