We Should Be Able to Split Up Flashcard Decks
Official

Hi all,
This suggestion appears to have gathered a lot of support (especially in terms of "Met Too's/Likes") and because of that we wanted to follow-up with a couple questions.
-In what way would splitting up cards be useful?
-Would it be helpful primarily for situations where your deck has grown larger than expected?
-Would it be helpful as a filter option when studying where you could choose to study cards 30-40, 15-50, etc.?
-Please provide any examples you may have where this feature would come in handy.
Any additional feedback with regards to these questions and anything else you might want to add would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Katie

5I agree with Karmran but I wanted to add a little more weight to the subject. When I'm studying for a test using physical flash cards, I don't pick up the whole pile and go. I usually just pick up 5 or 6, do them until I feel confident I know those, then proceed to another pile, and finally collaborate the entire deck and find the ones that I need most help with. The system on the website now works kinda like it, but when I've put the cards in for the first time, I end up going through the whole list saying, "no I don't know this perfectly", to the whole deck for 3 or 4 rotations. I know if I was able to split up the deck, I probably would use nothing but this site for memorization.

1Hi Karmran, thanks for the feedback. We are in the process of revamping the flashcards a bit and will take this into consideration. Thanks again for the idea. JennyComment -

Yes, and there is a reason I would like to split decks. there reason is for this class, the midterms are all the subjects, while the final is by subject. So, I study the ones for the midterms, but need to be able to move them by subject after the midterms are complete.

I completely agree. The decks need to be able to be broken down into more digestible chunks that filtering the size of the decks cannot do alone. I currently have a deck that ended up being more than 100 cards, and if I could break it down into different categories, I could focus on just the sections that I am still having difficulty with.

Totally agree. I have over 100 flashcards and I wish there was a way to "put to the side" the ones I already know well. I do not want to delete them incase I need them again.
-

I wish I could just tick off the flashcards I would like to review again without having to go thru' all 100 of them.
Once I have learnt a flashcard and know it well, I should be able to hide it or uncheck it so it does not show up for the tests and when I am learning the new cards.

Ability to hide flashcards already learnt.-
I usually only hit the green button when I am sure that I know the flashcard. That way as I study I dwindle the set down to smaller and smaller numbers. I think that's a helpful way to use StudyBlue's existing features.
Of course, being able to permantly split the decks is important to me. Sometimes I go on a flashcard making spree and end up with a set of 100 in random topics, which is not that helpful of a study tool. -

We need to have a tool to separate our large decks into smaller ones from the beginning. I have a large deck of 175 questions. After I finish the deck to go back over them again, I don't remember the first questions I missed. Very confusing.

being able to change the order of your flashcards or allocate them to different groups of flashcards would be tremendously helpful.

I have created a long list of flash cards. I am considering the idea of dividing the list into smaller lists so that studying and reviewing would be more convenient.

Select the amount of flash cards you want to use and which ones you want to use

Although I love the systme already in place, I find it frustrating that while you can merge sets of flashcards you can't split them. Or am I missing something?!

Miguel,
I merged your question into this thread because it is similar. There is not a way to split up decks currently, but it is something we are looking at making available in the future.
Thanks for the post and we will make an announcement when something becomes available.

Just have to chime in that I agree, as Netish Mehta said, I sometimes go on a flashcard spree for my vocabulary words then end up with 100+ cards, only to realize I should have separated them into subject groups first. I really appreciate you guys being open to your public's opinion. It's extremely helpful. -

MAD AS HELL... not
For each new note, or "stack" of flashcards, it would be very helpful if there was a feature that enabled us to move individual flashcards from one stack to another.
For example, let's I made one stack of flashcards with 100 flashcards, and another with only 25. I want to add a few from the larger note to the smaller note. It would be extremely convenient if one could find a button next to each flashcard that allowed the editor to move that flashcard into another stack of cards.

It would be useful to have a way to be able to select certain flash cards from the deck to study rather than having to run through the entire deck. Something like a check box on each card to include it in the study/quizing session.

Selectable Flashcards - Check Box.-
or four check boxes, so you could create four piles of cards from one deck. With check boxes you can have important cards come up in multiple decks!

I would also like to be able to study 10 or 20 cards at a time. It’s become difficult to do recently.

Hi Peter, there is another thread about this here that you may want to look at: http://help.studyblue.com/studyblue/t.... We are trying to gather more information about how users are using the filter options. In addition, there are some comments for how the "I'm done" functionality is meant to replace the need to studying 10 or 20 at a time. Please add any additional comments there so we can keep track of them all. Thank you for your input.

I've imported cards from other programs because I've been happy with StudyBlue, however some of the files were large (one is 1,000 cards) and yet I need to have a way to divide them up as opposed to individually importing them which would be a significant hassle. My greatest need would be dividing a large folder into subsets easily. Thanks.

Yes I imported them automatically. I converted a 1000+ flashcard system (ANKI) into a spreadsheet to be able to transfer them to StudyBlue. The GUI here is great and with reminders it's really going to be my go to app for vocab building. That being said, it would be a welcome addition if such decks could be broken up in program, as opposed to manually ordering and then breaking up such decks in excel or other programs. Hope this helps. How long along is any progress in this area?

Ideally either checkboxes or drag and drop would really do the trick I think.

I would also find this really useful! A checkbox that allows you to move flashcards into different categories after they have been made is also a great idea. For example, if I have different flashcards sets for each of the topics covered in one class, a I get closer to the final exam it would be great to pick the flashcards from each subset for that class that I think I will most need to study for the final. What got me to this page today is that I made a flashcard set for a given topic, with both information from a textbook chapter and a lecture. I've decided I'm low on time and should really focus on the info from lecture, but don't want to delete the 50 cards I made from the textbook- it would be nice to just split those in a separate deck that I can study later if I have time! All that being said- study blue is amazing and I appreciate everything it has done for me so far! :)

WHat's the status of the idea of being able to split flash cards into new decks, move them into other stacks, copy them, etc? This idea looks to be about 8 months old.... I've got four years of studying ahead of me as I just entered Med school.

Does Study Blue allow you to split up the deck of flashcards after making them? I made a deck of 107 cards, and i was wondering if there was any way i could study ten at a time... like study 1-10 until i am confident, then 11-20, 21-30, etc.....

Splitting the Deck. -

While Study Blue has provided a good platform for me to study for my German Vocabulary tests, I have found that I am not allowed to test more than 200 flashcards in one go. Such tests usually involve hundreds of nouns and verbs and it complicates the study process especially with deadlines around the corner. Hence I am indeed all for being able to split the deck, or expanding the number of flashcards that can be used at any point in time.

I'm not sure if people have said this before, but I agree that it would be easier to be able to study certain sections of my cards.
For example, I am currently reviewing SAT vocab and I'm adding 20 each day. I've split up my folders into "Week One", "Week Two"... etc. Because I am adding 20 each day, they are adding up on the bottom. However, when I choose the option to study 20 cards, I can only pick either the first 20 or random. I have found that if I pressed "least studied" first, I could study my newest 20 additions. However, I would definitely appreciate it if I could have the option to just click a button and pick whichever 20 cards I want- that would make it so much easier. -

Yes, all of these things, or simply being able to manually select the starting point of study would remedy a lot of these problems.
