Tips for Effective Sets

PDF download Download Article
  1. Quizlet sets are shared publicly by default. If you're studying a common subject, it's likely that another user has already created a set with similar terms. Before creating your set, use the search option on your homepage to find existing flashcards and study guides.
    • Once you find a similar set, you can choose to customize it to add terms of your own or delete terms you don't need. Just tap the three-dots icon next to the set title, and select Customize .
  2. If you have a long list of terms you need to add, select the Import option to quickly copy data from another source, such as a Microsoft Word document or Google Docs document, and paste it into Quizlet. Quizlet will automatically separate the terms and definitions, and create the set for you.
    • Before pasting, be sure the data follows a consistent format. If you have mixed formatting, your set may be imported incorrectly.
  3. If you tend to handwrite your notes rather than type them, you can opt to upload a picture of your notes to use as your flashcard. Select the Scan document option to get started.
  4. If you have a final test coming up, you can combine sets from previous units into one large set to test your knowledge of the entire course or semester. Rather than creating a whole new set with all existing terms, just combine them!
    • To combine sets, click the three-dots icon next to a set and select Combine . Select the set(s) you want to combine, and then create the new set.
  5. While you need a QuizletPlus subscription to upload your own images, you can use Quizlet's image library for free. If you're a visual learner, adding images can help you memorize your terms more quickly.
    • To use Quizlet's image gallery, select the image icon next to the flash card in Edit mode.
  6. If you're creating a set to study a different language, you can select a language for your set. As you type a term, select Language or Choose Language underneath the field, and then select a language.

  • Question
    Where is the font button in Quizlet?
    Cordis Iesu
    Community Answer
    There is no font button unless you have Quizlet Plus, then you can access it. I use caps instead of bold, italic or underlined.
