Before You Start

  1. Prepare your flashcard deck (20-50 cards recommended)
  2. Shuffle the cards thoroughly
  3. Set up two areas: one for corrects, one for errors
  4. Select your timing duration (1 minute is standard)

During the Timing

  1. Press Start and begin immediately
  2. Look at the front of each card
  3. Say your answer out loud
  4. Flip to check—place in correct or error pile
