Why a 15 minute flashcard timer works
- Roughly 60 to 100 cards
- Say the answer before flipping
- Keep the failures in the pile
Sixty to a hundred cards fit into fifteen minutes at a steady pace. Answering out loud before turning each card is what separates practice from shuffling.
How to spend the fifteen minutes
| Minute | What to do |
|---|---|
| 0-1 | Shuffle in yesterday's failures |
| 1-13 | Answer aloud before turning each card |
| 13-15 | Separate the ones you got wrong |

Questions people ask
How many flashcards fit in 15 minutes?
Between sixty and a hundred, depending on how much you write. Speed matters less than answering out loud before you turn each card over.
How many blocks make a study session?
Four to six with five minute breaks is a full evening for most students, and holds attention better than two long sittings.
How often should I use the 15 minute flashcard timer?
Daily beats long. Three short sessions spread across the week produce better recall than one session of the same total length, because the gaps force your memory to retrieve rather than recognise.
