Priority: How urgently Pleco should try to test you on this card. Specifically, cards with higher scores show up less often than cards with lower scores in frequency-adjusted tests, and cards with higher scores are repeated at longer intervals in repetition-spaced tests by default, the number of days between card repetitions is equal to the card’s score divided by 100.Įasiness: A second-order measurement of how well you’ve learned a card it affects the rate at which your score increases when you answer a card correctly, and is adjusted up and down in small increments when you remember a card correctly or incorrectly.

Flashcards brought in through the Import screen may already be organized by chapter, difficulty level, etc, but if you prefer a different organization system, or you’re creating flashcards manually, you’ll want to group flashcards into Categories yourself. To keep track of which cards you’ve created and which cards you want to study, you’ll want to organize your flashcards into Categories.

This means you can create new cards extremely quickly, since all you have to do is select the right word and Pleco can fill in the characters / Pinyin / definition for you automatically it also helps with remembering new words you encounter, since you can easily add a word to your flashcard pool as you’re looking up its meaning in the dictionary. Pleco includes a powerful built-in flashcard system that makes it easy for you to learn new vocabulary by creating flashcards based on dictionary entries. You can purchase the Flashcard System add-on through the “Add-ons” screen. The Pleco iOS flashcard system is a paid add-on module until it’s purchased, the testing modes are disabled and flashcards are referred to as “Bookmarks” instead of “Flashcards.” It’s the same database / same organizational system and supports the same import/export format, you just can’t test yourself on the resulting flashcards.
