Master Your Learning: Complete Guide to Quizzes and Leitner Box

Welcome to your comprehensive guide for mastering our quiz system and Leitner box! This powerful combination uses scientifically-proven spaced repetition techniques to help you learn more effectively and retain information longer.

🎯 What is the Leitner Box System?

The Leitner box system is a spaced repetition learning method that helps you review material at optimal intervals. Words you get wrong in quizzes are automatically saved to your personal Leitner box, where they're organized into 5 boxes with increasing review intervals:

  • Box 1: Review in 1 day
  • Box 2: Review in 3 days
  • Box 3: Review in 1 week
  • Box 4: Review in 2 weeks
  • Box 5: Review in 1 month

📚 How to Use Quizzes Effectively

Taking a Quiz

  1. Navigate to any course and select a chapter

  2. Choose your quiz type:

    • Multiple Choice: Select the correct translation
    • Fill in the Blank: Type your answer
    • Audio Quizzes: Listen and respond

  3. Answer each question at your own pace

  4. Review your results to see which answers were correct or incorrect

Understanding Quiz Results

After completing a quiz, you'll see a detailed breakdown showing:

  • ✅ Correct answers with green indicators
  • ❌ Wrong answers with red indicators
  • 📊 Your overall score and performance
  • 📝 Detailed feedback for each question

🃏 Using the Leitner Box

Accessing Your Leitner Box

  1. Go to the main navigation and click "Leitner Box"
  2. View your statistics:
    • Total words in your box
    • Words due for review today
    • Distribution across all 5 boxes

Reviewing with Flashcards

  1. Click "Start Review" when you have words due today

  2. Study each flashcard:

    • Click the card to reveal the translation

How Words Move Between Boxes

  • Wrong Answer: Word goes back to Box 1 (shorter interval)
  • Skip: Word stays in the same box

🧠 Learning Strategies

For Maximum Effectiveness
