Can I reverse Question and Answer during Study?

SUMMARY

Yes, you may reverse Question and Answer (Study in Reverse) on your flashcards, so you can study in the opposite direction.  Depending on whether you are studying on the web or the mobile apps, there are two different ways you can do this.  

ON THE WEB:

To access Reverse studying on the desktop web:

1. From your Dashboard, find the class that you'd like to study, 
2. Click Study button to begin studying a class,
3. Tap on the gear icon,
4. Select “Reverse Study Mode” radio button
5. To revert back to the original formate, go back to the gear icon and select, 'Standard Study Mode'.

During the study session, you can also navigate to the study options menu to select the mode details.

If you want to CREATE reverse flashcards on Web in the EDITOR:

If you'd like to create permanent reverse flashcards (i.e. add new, separate flashcards that ask the question in the opposite direction), then you can do the following on the web:

• From the Dashboard, go to the Deck you'd like to edit the Deck to Edit and click on the pencil icon next to a deck title 

• To edit, be sure you're in the Edit tab (and not preview or browse)

• On the left (you may need to expand the window), if you want to select the cards for which you'd like to create Reverse versions (otherwise the reverse action will be applied to the whole deck)

• In the Bulk Actions drop-down menu, select "Reverse Cards" 

• You may create a special prompt for these reversed cards

• Those new cards will be added to the end of your Deck

• Sync and you will have reverse cards in the app

  Currently, we do not have a way to create a brand new set of flashcards in reverse order, but you can vote on that here.
  

ON MOBILE APPS:

To access Reverse studying in the iOS and Android mobile apps, please ensure you have the latest version installed then follow the steps below:

1. Tap on the class you wish to study
2. Click Study button or begin studying a class
3. Tap on the gear icon at the upper right corner of your screen
4. Select “Study in Reverse (Q/A > A/Q)” button
