Study Modes

Master the different study modes in Quantilo to optimize your learning.


Quantilo offers multiple ways to study your cards. Choose the mode that fits your needs.

Standard Review

The default study mode uses spaced repetition:

  1. Cards appear based on their scheduled due date
  2. Review each card and rate your recall
  3. The algorithm adjusts future intervals

Rating Your Recall

  • Again — Forgot completely, show soon
  • Hard — Struggled but got it, shorter interval
  • Good — Remembered well, normal interval
  • Easy — Perfect recall, longer interval

Quick Review

  • Cards auto-advance after reveal

Cram Mode
