Quick recall of information
Love it or hate it, many of the most important exams carry with them a time function. It’s not enough to know the information; one must also be able to recall as much of it as he can within a set time framework with as much accuracy as possible. Rather than harp about how unfair this time requirement is on standardized exams, it’s best to embrace the challenge (and the flash card).
By isolating the pertinent information one card at a time you can cut out all the noise and sharpen your focus. This technique will enable the brain to recognize the most essential details of a concept or fact when it turns up on an exam or other crucial situations.
