Yes. Creating, importing, and studying your own flashcards is free with no limits, and so are practice quizzes written from your own decks (three a day). The free plan also turns your first two documents into flashcards or quizzes, at the same quality as the paid plans. Plus ($6.99 a month or $49 a year) and Pro ($12.99 a month or $89 a year) add 15 or 40 generations every month.

Yes. Pick “Quiz” instead of “Flashcards” to get a multiple-choice quiz from a subject, your notes, or a file, or press “Quiz me” on any deck. You get a score, the correct answers with explanations, and can redo it with reshuffled questions. Quizzes can be shared like decks.

Can it write a study guide?

Yes. Pick “Study guide” and name the unit, paste your notes or upload a file. You get the unit on one page: a mindmap, the ideas in order, a worked exam-style question and the mistake students make most. Print it, or turn it straight into flashcards or a quiz. Study guides are on the Plus and Pro plans; free unit guides for AP Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, MCAT, SAT and ACT are at quizcard.org/unit-guides.

What files can I turn into flashcards?

PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), plain text, and Markdown, up to 25 MB, or paste text directly. Charts and diagrams are kept on the cards when the source is a PDF.

How is Quizcard different from Quizlet or Anki?

Quizcard writes the cards for you from your own material and keeps the source document attached, with a reader, highlights, and a tutor that answers from those pages. Decks export to CSV and JSON, so you can still review in Anki if you prefer its scheduler.

Yes. Any deck can be published as a public page that others can study online or copy into their own account. Public decks are listed at quizcard.org/explore.

Does it work offline and on my phone?

Yes. The Android app is on Google Play, the iPhone app is coming soon, and on any phone Quizcard also installs straight from the browser. Decks you have opened stay available offline and changes sync when you are back online.

Your decks and files are private unless you choose to share a deck. You can export or delete everything at any time, and you can bring your own Anthropic API key if you prefer.

AP Human Geography flashcards: models, terms and the examples that earn the point

AP Human Geography is vocabulary-heavy and model-heavy: demographic transition stages, von Thünen rings, central place theory, and a long list of terms that need one real-world example each. That is flashcard territory. Start with the free population, culture and cities deck below.

A flashcard study plan for the AP Human Geography

Weeks 1 to 2: one card per term in Units 1 to 3 with a real example on the back. Study the population, culture and cities deck.
Week 3: models. Front: the model name. Back: the diagram, its assumptions and one critique (the free-response questions love limitations).
Week 4: Units 4 to 7 terms the same way, plus a card per map type and what it is good at showing.
Week 5: upload your review book chapters and generate decks; practise the free-response verbs: identify, describe, explain, compare.
Week 6: one released exam under time, then only the “missed” deck.

How to write AP Human Geography cards that work

Term, definition and example on every card. Graders give the point for the example, not the definition.
Card each model with its critique: Rostow assumes every country follows the same path; von Thünen assumes a single market and flat land.
Make stimulus cards: a choropleth or population pyramid on the front, what it shows and a likely explanation on the back.
Use the same verbs as the exam on your cards (“explain one consequence of…”) so recall matches the question format.

Questions

Are the geography decks here free?

Yes. Study them on the page or copy them into a free account; your own cards are free with no limits.

Can I make flashcards from my review book?
