Practice: work with your deck through generated exercises

Memor More’s Practice Sets turn a deck into generated exercises so you can work with its material through different prompts. They sit alongside scheduled review, a one-minute Quiz challenge to identify as many words as possible, and full-term typing. Choose the activity that matches what you want to practise.

Product update — 13 September 2026: Practice Sets, the one-minute Quiz, full-term typing and community deck sharing are all available in the app. Practice takes material from a deck and presents it through exercises; the community lets you share your own decks and discover material from other users.

Different prompts ask you to do different things

When you try to produce an answer before revealing a flashcard’s back, you are practising recall. Choosing an answer from visible options asks for recognition. Typing the full term asks you to produce a written answer. The presence of a cue does not turn every flashcard task into recognition. Our active recall guide explains the distinction.

A generated exercise can ask a different question about a familiar term or place it in a sentence. That gives you another way to practise, but it does not guarantee transfer to conversation, an exam or a new situation. Check that the generated prompt and answer are accurate. For evidence about retrieval and spacing, see the research guide.

Use scheduled reviews for returning to material over time, and choose additional exercises for the task you want to work on. A Practice Set is not necessarily harder than every card; difficulty depends on the prompt and the response it requires.

How Practice works

For any deck with 10 or more usable cards, Memor More can build a Practice Set: a bundle of 10–15 mixed exercises generated by the AI, with your deck's terms as the answers.

1. Open the Practice tab, or the Practice action on a deck's detail screen.
2. Pick a deck and generate a set. The AI reads your cards and writes the exercises.
3. Work through them one screen at a time. Answer, see whether you were right, and continue — no timer, no pressure.
4. Finish on a completion screen with your score and a per-type breakdown.

The exercises described here use fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice prompts.

Fill-in-the-blank

A sentence appears with a gap, and you complete it by choosing from option chips pulled from your deck. Compare the available terms and choose the one that fits the sentence. If several answers appear defensible, inspect or flag the exercise rather than treating an ambiguous result as a vocabulary failure.

Multiple choice

The AI writes a question and offers several answers; one of your deck's terms is correct. You select an answer from the options, so this differs from producing a term without choices. Read the full question and check why the correct option fits.

Practice, Quiz and typing

Each mode offers a different way to work with a deck.

Try Quiz for a quick challenge, typing for written production, or Practice for different questions about your material. Treat results as feedback about that particular task, not proof that a deck has been permanently learned.

It fits the habit you already have

Practice is designed to sit alongside your reviews, not compete with them.

• It counts where it should. A completed Practice Set feeds your daily goal, your streak, and your statistics.
• It leaves the schedule alone. Practice does not change your spaced-repetition timings. Your review queue is still driven only by how you rate cards in normal study, so you can practise as much as you like without nudging the algorithm off course. (For why that separation matters, see spaced repetition vs massed practice.)
• It rewards understanding, not cramming. Because exercises are written from your terms, a set is only as good as the cards behind it — the same argument for atomic, one-fact cards made in flashcards for exam revision.

Generate once, replay offline, on a fair free tier

Generating a Practice Set is an AI action, so it happens online and uses one Practice Set generation (counted separately from AI deck generations). Everything after that is free and local:

• Replays are always free and offline. Once a set exists, it lives on your device and you can redo it as many times as you want, with no connection.
• The free tier is usable. Free accounts can generate 1 new set a month; Premium raises that to 15 a month. Months follow the calendar (UTC). Whatever you have already generated stays playable on any tier.
• A set can go stale, not missing. If you materially change a deck — add cards, rewrite answers — its Practice Set is marked stale rather than deleted. You can keep replaying the old set or regenerate a fresh one that reflects the new cards.
• You can flag a bad exercise. AI occasionally writes an awkward or ambiguous item; a flag button on each exercise reports it so the sets keep improving.

Decks under 10 cards show up in the Practice tab but stay locked, with a small "add a few more cards to unlock" nudge, because the AI needs enough terms to write varied questions and believable wrong answers.

Start with a deck you want to use

Start by checking the source deck so its terms and answers give the exercises useful material:

• Keep cards atomic: one fact per card makes for cleaner exercises.
• Check the card requirement shown for the deck before generating a set.
• If you are starting from lecture notes or a handout, the AI flashcard generator can draft the deck first. Review those cards before building a Practice Set on them, since every exercise inherits their wording.
• If you teach or study in a group, note that shared decks can also be used for practice — everyone who has the deck can generate their own set.

You can create a deck or browse community decks, then choose a review or practice mode that suits your task. A vocabulary set such as Spanish A2: Everyday Topics, with 80 single-word answers, gives Practice plenty of terms to use as blanks and answer options. For a routine combining these options with a manageable review workload, use the vocabulary schedule and template.
