Purpose

Test Mode allows students to turn their flash card decks into multiple choice tests. Quick Cards does this automatically, instantly turning flash cards into tests without hassle.

There are two different test modes, Practice and Graded. Both test modes will present a series of questions based on the cards in the selected deck. In Practice Tests, students receive immediate feedback on their answers, while Graded Tests provide a final score at the end. Both modes provide a unique way to assess and measure a student's understanding and retention of the material.
