The most effective web and mobile flashcard app.✓ Securely find, create, and share digital flashcards, then optimize studying using proven cognitive science. Perfect for educators and students; school, foreign languages, professional certifications, and more! Brainscape's learning system is based on several decades of cognitive science research into how people learn best. Using a combination of active recall, metacognition, distributed practice, spaced repetition, and interleaving study, Brainscape's algorithm ensures that you are studying each flashcard in the format, pattern, and interval that best optimizes your speed of learning and length of retention. If you're a teacher, professor, tutor, or employee trainer, Brainscape also allows you to easily collaborate with many colleagues (or with students themselves) to create the flashcards, and to track over a dozen different metrics about your students study and mastery patterns. With Brainscape, you can feel confident that your students are studying in the most effective way possible, so you can instead focus on what you're best at!

Great study tool!
Great for preparing for any of the Praxxis II exams.
good study platform
Increasing Your Knowledge Base.
The ability to repeatedly go over the cards accordingly makes this app very useful.
Additionally, with an honest approach, one can readily assess one's ability to recall answers thereby increasing one's knowledge base.

I am very happy with brainscape been using it for years and it honestly works brilliantly. It is easy to create them and something I can actually use when studying on the move.
I have been wanting to use paper flashcards again but I just couldn't justify it. It is so much easier to use Brainscape and the built in repetition algorithm is probably the main reason studying on Brainscape has help me improve my information retention.

This has been a very useful tool in my law school journey.
I've been introduced to BrianScape.....
I've been introduced to BrianScape around 3 weeks back and from that day I've absolutely loved it!
I didn't ever imagine I would get an appointment that is soo specific to my use case of quick revisions in a light way, but here I am making the most of it.
Honestly thank you for the founder and all the other people involved in the creation of this concept and implementation through this app, it's just been wonderful.
Life saver
I have been using BrainScape for months now, and it has literally helped me understand and learn.
Highly recommended!
This app was great! I could create my own flash cards and it really helped me learn the key terms. I was revising for an exam and it let me review topics in a really organised and easy way too, as I was able to separate each deck my subject. It will also let you rate from 1-5 how confident you are, making it super simple to keep track what you need to work on more!
However, without premium, you could only access a few decks made by others, and use AI a few times - meaning you have to type your own most the time.
Even so, this is really helpful and useful for me and I will recommend trying it out!

Really smooth experience once you figure out a few nuances with the GUI and Server. And really great algorithm, aesthetics, and options that I feel confident in to master my study materials. Thank you!!!

I really love how useful this app is for studying. I make my own flashcards from our pdf handouts, and review the notes whenever I have down time. It’s a great way to study and get more out of my time. I like this app more than others I’ve used mostly because the interface is nice, and it allows sharing of other flaschards. It’s been a worthwhile investment. Highly recommend it.
I like it better than ANKI
I like it better than ANKI. I easily uploaded my list of spanish to english sentences in an excel CSV spreadsheet. The app on the iphone is visually appealing.

I recently used Brainscape’s CLTM course in preparation for my board exam, but unfortunately, I did not find it helpful. The flashcards were not aligned with the actual exam content — in my experience, less than 30% of the material covered in the flashcards was reflected in the questions on the test.
I was hoping for a more comprehensive and exam-focused resource, and I feel quite let down by this course, especially given the time and effort invested. If there is anything that can be done to support learners like me or improve the content to better reflect the actual exam format, I would greatly appreciate it.

The Best Study App
I have really enjoyed using Brainscape. I love its interface and the spaced repetition component. I also love the fact that it tells me how many more hours I need to study to master a study deck.
Great study resource
I've used Brainscape to study for the AR exam, to help review a Facility Management book and now to study for a management exam. It's a great resource. Definitely one of my go to study tools. Flashcards force me to retrieve information from memory, rather than just reviewing notes or reading a textbook. Highly recommend.
