Memorise mode is one of our core study modes. It uses spaced repetition and active recall to help you remember your flashcards for the long term, not just the night before an exam.
Starting a Memorise session
To get started, open a deck and tap Memorise. Gizmo will begin quizzing you on your cards straight away.
How Gizmo decides what to ask you
Gizmo tracks how well you know each card and uses this to decide when to show it to you again. If you get a card right, Gizmo will show it to you less frequently. If you get it wrong, it'll come back sooner. This is spaced repetition — the most effective way to build long-term memory.
What kinds of questions will I be asked?
By default, Gizmo uses a mix of question types. You can change this at any time by tapping the cog ⚙️ in the top right during a session. The four question types are:
Multiple choice - Pick the right answer from four options (the wrong ones are AI-generated)
Typing - Type in the highlighted word or phrase from a card
Flashcard - See the front of the card and reveal the back to check yourself
Mixed - A combination of all types, plus match the pair, true or false and ordering questions
📝 If Gizmo runs out of a specific question type, it will switch to another to keep your session going
What are the green highlighted words?
The green words on your cards are what Gizmo quizzes you on. These are added automatically when you import cards, but you can also highlight your own words by clicking and dragging over the text you want to be tested on.
Tips for getting the most out of Memorise mode
Study a little every day rather than cramming. Spaced repetition works best with regular short sessions
If a question type isn't working for you, change it using the ⚙️ Settings mid-session
Make sure your key terms are highlighted in green so Gizmo knows exactly what to test you on
