Using jMemorize to master anything that can be put on flashcards!

Here's an awesome little tool I discovered yesterday that has taken over my studying:

jMemorize (http://jmemorize.org) is a free flashcard software that uses something called the Leitner System of studying flashcards. Here's a brief from their site:

jMemorize is a free open-source Java application that manages your learning processes by using flashcards and the famous Leitner system. jMemorize makes memorizing facts not only more efficient but also more fun. It boosts your whole learning experience and features categories, statistics and a visually appealing and intuitive interface.

It's a really amazing free software. The best part however, is the cram function. While you do other work, you could master anything in 2 hours time.

1. Make flashcards.

2. Hit the "Learn" button. (underneath main menus, farthest to the right. Green play button)

3. Make sure all cards are selected.

4. Under "Scheduling", pick "Cram".

5. Begin!

As you go thru your night, make sure you check the software to see when you need to be studying!

Best of luck!,

Ryan
