Reviewing your cards
Review the cards that are due, grade your recall, cram before an exam, and see why nothing is due.
WorkRoad schedules every card for the moment you are about to forget it. Review a little every day and the cards you know well come back less and less often.
Review what's due
Open Review
Open Review from Activities. It shows how many cards are due now and later today. Narrow it to a Subject or Study set if you like, and pick how many Cards this round.
Recall, then reveal
Choose Start review. Try to recall the answer, then choose Reveal answer.
Grade yourself honestly
- Again: you didn't remember it.
- Hard: you remembered it with difficulty.
- Good: you remembered it without much effort.
- Easy: the answer was immediate.
On a keyboard, 1 to 4 grade and Z undoes the last answer.
When the round ends, Start another round or come back later. Answers you give offline are kept on the device and sync when you're back online.
Cram before an exam
Start cram walks your cards without changing their schedule. It ignores the daily limits and doesn't count toward your daily goal, so you can go over everything the night before.
Why nothing is due
- Nothing is due yet: Review says when the next cards come back.
- The Subject or Study set filter is too narrow.
- You reached today's limit of new cards or reviews. Review shows what's left today.
- The cards are suspended, or the set is archived.
Hard cards
A card you keep forgetting is flagged as a hard card. Hard cards lists them, so you can Edit this term to make it clearer, or Suspend it for a while.
Study settings
Study settings on the Review page opens Settings → Study preferences, where you set how many new cards and reviews you get each day, your daily goal, and how hard cards are handled.
A card's progress
The Progression action on a card shows where it stands in each activity: its stage (New, Learning, Review or Relearning), when it's due, and how difficult and stable it is. Suspend pauses it, and Forget sends it back to New for that activity.
How scheduling works
Every study format feeds the same spaced-repetition schedule, FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler), an open algorithm by Open Spaced Repetition. WorkRoad runs it through the MIT-licensed ts-fsrs library. Its licence notice is in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt.
