7.1 — Quiz Options

Before a quiz starts, you configure it on the Quiz Options page. Every setting is optional — you can simply click Start to begin with the defaults.

How to open the Quiz Options page

1. From the main Decks view, select a deck.
2. Click the Quiz button in the deck details panel.

Question Style

Choose how questions are presented:

• Self Assess — You see the question, then reveal the answer yourself and honestly mark whether you knew it (Yes/No).
• MCQ Instant — Multiple-choice questions. You select an answer and immediately see whether it is correct or incorrect before moving on.
• MCQ Test — Multiple-choice questions in test mode. You answer all questions first, then see your results at the end.

What to Show

Choose which card field is shown as the question prompt:

• Key — Shows the card’s Key (title) as the question. You try to recall the Description.
• Description — Shows the Description as the question. You try to recall the Key.

MCQ Answer Font Size

When using a multiple-choice style, you can adjust the font size of the answer options. This is useful if your card content is long and you need it to fit comfortably on screen. This option only appears when you select an MCQ question style.

Quiz Length

Control how many questions are in the quiz:

• All cards — Every card in the deck (that passes your filters) is included.
• Maximum — You set a maximum number of cards. The quiz picks up to that many randomly.
• Timed — The quiz runs for a set number of minutes. It keeps presenting cards until time runs out.

Card Order

• Shuffle (Random) — Cards are shuffled into a random order each time.
• Sequential — Cards appear in the order they exist in the deck.
• Newest First — Most recently added cards appear first.
• Oldest First — Oldest cards appear first.
• Hardest First — Cards with the highest difficulty rating appear first.
• Easiest First — Cards with the lowest difficulty rating appear first.

Note: For all modes except Shuffle and Sequential, cards that share the same value (e.g. the same date or difficulty level) are randomly shuffled within that group, so you see them in a different order each time.

Tags Filter

Narrow the quiz to specific groups of cards:

1. Choose Include to only quiz cards that have specific tags, or Exclude to skip cards with certain tags.
2. Click Select Tags to open the tag picker and choose which tags to include or exclude.

Difficulty Filter

1. Toggle the Difficulty-based filter switch to enable it.
2. Choose at least or at most, then set a number of stars (1–5).
3. Only cards matching the difficulty criteria will be included in the quiz.

Failed Cards Only

Toggle this switch to only quiz cards that you answered incorrectly in previous quizzes. This is a great way to focus on material you have not yet mastered.

Starting the Quiz

1. After configuring your options, click the Start button at the bottom of the page.
2. The quiz begins immediately.

7.2 — Quiz — Self Assess Mode

In Self Assess mode, you test yourself honestly by deciding whether you knew the answer.

1. A question prompt appears showing either the Key or Description (depending on your “What to Show” setting).
2. Try to recall the answer in your head.
3. Optionally, click Show Example to see the card’s example content as a hint.
4. When you are ready, click Show Card to reveal the full answer.
5. After seeing the answer, click Yes if you knew it, or No if you did not.
6. The quiz advances to the next card. The progress bar at the top updates, along with counters for correct answers, incorrect answers, and elapsed time.
7. Click Next Card to proceed if it does not advance automatically.

7.3 — Quiz — Multiple Choice Mode

In MCQ mode, you choose from several answer options. The wrong answers are pulled randomly from other cards in the deck.

1. A question prompt appears at the top of the screen.
2. Below it, several answer options are displayed as selectable items. One is the correct answer; the others are randomly chosen from other cards in the deck.
3. Click the answer you think is correct.
4. In MCQ Instant mode, you immediately see whether your answer was correct (green highlight) or incorrect (red highlight). The correct answer is always revealed.
5. In MCQ Test mode, your answer is recorded but not revealed until the quiz ends. A Back button appears at the bottom-left so you can return to previous questions and change your answers before finishing.
6. Optionally, click Show Example to see a hint, or Show Card to see the full card content.
7. Click Next Card to move to the next question.

7.4 — Quiz Summary

When all questions have been answered (or time runs out in timed mode), the Quiz Summary screen appears.

The summary shows:

• Score display — Your total correct answers out of the total questions, shown as a number and percentage.
• Results table — A list of every question in the quiz showing:
  • The question text (card Key or Description).
  • The result (Correct or Incorrect).
  • A View Card button that takes you directly to that card in the Display View.
