The Best Way to Use Flashcards for NEET
By Dr. Arjun Mehta on July 27, 2024
Why Flashcards are a Game-Changer for NEET
The NEET syllabus is enormous, especially Biology. Passive reading often leads to forgetting information. Flashcards, on the other hand, promote active recall—the process of actively retrieving memories, which is far more effective for long-term retention.
Creating Effective Flashcards
A good flashcard is simple and tests one concept at a time.
- Front: Write a question, term, or diagram (e.g., 'What is the function of mitochondria?').
- Back: Write a concise answer (e.g., 'Powerhouse of the cell, responsible for cellular respiration and ATP production.').

Don't just review your flashcards randomly. Use a Spaced Repetition System. SRS is a learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent reviews of previously learned material. It's based on the psychological spacing effect. In simple terms: you review the cards you find difficult more often than the cards you find easy. Many apps can automate this process for you.
