Flashcards & Study Sets

Learn how to create, organize, and study flashcards effectively using Lurna’s smart tools.

1. Creating Flashcards Manually

While Lurna can auto-generate flashcards from your notes, you can also create your own manually for full control over the content for FREE.

How to create manual flashcards:

  • Select New Study Set
  • Choose Manual Flashcards
  • Add a Term and a Definition
  • Click + Add Card to continue building your set

Manual flashcards are perfect for:

  • Key terms from class
  • Language learning
  • Formulas you want to memorize
  • Specific definitions your professor highlights

Tips for better manual flashcards:

  • Keep terms short and focused
  • Use bullet points for complex definitions
  • Add examples for clarity
  • Split long definitions into multiple cards

2. Studying Flashcards: Modes & Tips

Lurna includes multiple study modes to keep reviewing efficient, adaptive, and engaging.

Study modes:

  • Flip Mode - Classic flashcard experience: flip, answer, repeat.
  • Quiz Mode - Test your knowledge with multiple-choice questions.
  • Type Answer - Actively recall answers by typing them out.

Study tips:

  • Study smaller batches before large sets
  • Use spaced repetition - review daily instead of cramming
  • Shuffle often to avoid memorizing card order

3. Organizing Study Sets

As you generate or create more study sets, keeping them organized helps streamline your study workflow.

Ways to organize your study sets:

  • Group sets by folder for easy navigation
  • Rename sets to stay clear and specific
  • Use search to find the right set quickly

Managing sets:

  • Move sets between folders when needed
  • Duplicate sets to create new versions
  • Archive old sets at the end of a semester

Why organization matters:

  • Faster studying before tests
  • Clearer structure during long courses
  • No wasting time searching for old flashcards

A clean study library = a faster study workflow.
