# Practice with Flashcard mode

Flashcard mode lets you practice a deck whenever you want. You reveal each answer and decide whether you recalled it correctly. For scheduled due-card review, use [SRS](https://docs.flashnerd.com/guide/srs/getting-started.md).

## Start a session

You need a deck with saved cards and, for a metered account, enough review credits to study.

1. Open the deck from **Home**.
2. Tap **Study Now → Flashcard**.
3. Read the prompt and recall the answer before tapping **Show Answer**.
4. Tap the green check for **Pass** or the red cross for **Failed**.
5. Continue until **Study Completed!**.

On completion, inspect **Total Reviewed**, **Accuracy**, and **Learning Time**. **Review Answers** shows the session's answers; **Review Again** starts another session, and **Return to Deck** takes you back to the library card list.

## Configure the session

Open the deck's gear button, then **Study Setting → Flashcard**. Save after changing settings.

| Setting               | Effect                                                                   |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Card Orientation**  | **Normal** shows the front first; **Reversed** shows the back first      |
| **Cards Per Session** | Limits the number of cards selected; presets include 10, 25, 50, and All |
| **Shuffle Cards**     | Changes card order for practice                                          |
| **Show Elapsed Time** | Shows elapsed time while studying                                        |
| **Show Tag**          | Shows or hides card tags                                                 |
| **Auto Advance**      | Reveals and advances cards using timers                                  |

The initial Flashcard settings use 10 cards, normal orientation, and shuffle enabled. Your saved deck settings determine subsequent sessions.

## Use Auto Advance intentionally

When **Auto Advance** is enabled, set **Time before showing answer**, **Time before next card**, and **If no answer is chosen, mark as:**.

The last setting matters: allowing the timer to expire records the configured result rather than waiting indefinitely for a response. The initial default is **Failed**. Start without Auto Advance if you want full control over recall time.

## Correct an answer or edit a card

Open **Card Actions** during a session. **Undo Answer** reverses the most recent available answer. The menu also offers **Edit Card**, **Delete Card**, and **Show Tag** or **Hide Tag**.

Editing updates the actual saved card. **Delete Card** permanently removes the card; it is not a way to skip it for just one session.

Notes, if present, can be opened after revealing the answer. Japanese/Chinese fields configured with **Hint** reveal their annotations on a long press.
