If you’re having trouble with cramming for finals, look no further. It can be tough to find a way to organize information, but The Image has compiled ten websites to ease the process.
www.quizlet.com
Quizlet is a helpful website which, in addition to offering free online flashcards, has such features as “Learn,” a mode where you have to type in the definition when prompted with the term, “Space Race,” where it’s a race against the clock to remember the information, “Test,” which generates a multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, or true-false test, with as many questions as desired. Entering all your information into Quizlet is an easy way to memorize vocab and help others studying for foreign language or history exams.
