Yes. Creating, importing, and studying your own flashcards is free with no limits, and so are practice quizzes written from your own decks (three a day). The free plan also turns your first two documents into flashcards or quizzes, at the same quality as the paid plans. Plus ($6.99 a month or $49 a year) and Pro ($12.99 a month or $89 a year) add 15 or 40 generations every month.

Yes. Pick “Quiz” instead of “Flashcards” to get a multiple-choice quiz from a subject, your notes, or a file, or press “Quiz me” on any deck. You get a score, the correct answers with explanations, and can redo it with reshuffled questions. Quizzes can be shared like decks.

Can it write a study guide?

Yes. Pick “Study guide” and name the unit, paste your notes or upload a file. You get the unit on one page: a mindmap, the ideas in order, a worked exam-style question and the mistake students make most. Print it, or turn it straight into flashcards or a quiz. Study guides are on the Plus and Pro plans; free unit guides for AP Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, MCAT, SAT and ACT are at quizcard.org/unit-guides.

What files can I turn into flashcards?

PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), plain text, and Markdown, up to 25 MB, or paste text directly. Charts and diagrams are kept on the cards when the source is a PDF.

How is Quizcard different from Quizlet or Anki?

Quizcard writes the cards for you from your own material and keeps the source document attached, with a reader, highlights, and a tutor that answers from those pages. Decks export to CSV and JSON, so you can still review in Anki if you prefer its scheduler.

Yes. Any deck can be published as a public page that others can study online or copy into their own account. Public decks are listed at quizcard.org/explore.

Does it work offline and on my phone?

Yes. The Android app is on Google Play, the iPhone app is coming soon, and on any phone Quizcard also installs straight from the browser. Decks you have opened stay available offline and changes sync when you are back online.

Your decks and files are private unless you choose to share a deck. You can export or delete everything at any time, and you can bring your own Anthropic API key if you prefer.

ACT flashcards for English, Math, Reading and Science

The ACT is a speed test as much as a knowledge test. Flashcards remove the recall delay on grammar rules and formulas so the time goes into reading the question. Start with the decks below and add your own from class notes.

ACT at a glance

Format: English, Math and Reading are required; Science became optional with the enhanced ACT in 2025. Writing is a separate optional essay.
Length: About 2 hours 5 minutes for the three core sections, longer with Science or Writing.
Scoring: 1 to 36 per section; the composite is the average of English, Math and Reading. Science is reported separately when taken.
Calculator: Permitted on Math, with restrictions on CAS models.
Dates: Seven national test dates a year. Register at act.org.

What the ACT tests

English. Usage and mechanics (punctuation, grammar, sentence structure) and rhetorical skills (strategy, organization, style). Study guide →
Math. Pre-algebra through algebra II, coordinate and plane geometry, and a little trigonometry. Study guide →
Reading. Passages from literature, social science, humanities and natural science; main idea, detail, inference and vocabulary in context. Study guide →
Science (optional). Interpreting data, experiments and conflicting viewpoints. Reasoning matters more than memorized facts. Study guide →

ACT unit study guides

Each guide is the unit on one page: a mindmap, the ideas in order, a worked exam-style question, the mistake students make most, then the flashcards and quiz for it.

Sample cards from “Algebra and Geometry: Essential Formulas”

Pythagorean theorem

Answer: a² + b² = c²

Explanation

c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Similar triangles: what is preserved?

Answer: Corresponding angles are equal and corresponding sides are proportional.

Explanation

Area scales by the square of the side ratio.

Triangle inequality theorem

Answer: The sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

Explanation

Used to test whether three lengths can form a triangle.

What are complementary and supplementary angles?

Answer: Complementary angles add to 90°; supplementary add to 180°.

Explanation

C comes before S, and 90 comes before 180.

Equation of a circle

Answer: (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²

Explanation

Center (h, k), radius r.

SOH-CAH-TOA

Answer: sin = opposite/hypotenuse; cos = adjacent/hypotenuse; tan = opposite/adjacent

Explanation

Right-triangle trig ratios.

A flashcard study plan for the ACT

Take one full practice ACT with a timer. Card every missed question as concept plus fix.
Daily: ten minutes on grammar rules and ten on formulas. The English and Math decks below cover the core.
Twice a week: a timed Reading section. Card the question types you fall for (“except” questions, inference traps).
If you take Science, card the vocabulary of experiments: independent and dependent variable, control, trend, outlier.
Final two weeks: second practice test, then study only the missed deck.

How to write ACT cards that work

Grammar cards work best as before-and-after: a wrong sentence on the front, the corrected one on the back with the rule named.
Math cards should include the setup, not just the formula: “average speed = total distance / total time, not the average of the speeds.”
Pace cards help too: write the minutes-per-question target for each section on a card and review it before every timed section.

Questions

Should I take the ACT science section?

Check what the colleges on your list require. If none require it, your time is better spent on English, Math and Reading.

Can I use SAT decks for the ACT?

Largely yes. The algebra, geometry and grammar content overlaps; the ACT has a bit more trigonometry and no calculator-free part.

Can I build decks from my ACT prep book?

Upload the PDF and Quizcard generates a deck grouped by topic. Two generated documents are free.
