You can have THOUSANDS of TCM flashcards in your pocket. 

QiSource TCM Reference Suite can also be used as digital flashcards. It becomes a handy learning tool / study aid using Flash! (a 3^rd party application that transforms all of the TCM data.)

These flashcards are better than handwritten index cards because they are 3 sided (question, answer & note), can give you random multiple choice quizzes, keep track of what you get wrong and retest you.

They work just like regular flashcards. Each 'Answer' or 'Note' is hidden from view until you are ready to see it. You can use any of the databases and choose which columns are the 'questions', 'answers' & 'notes' while testing your knowledge.

The multiple choice flashcards look like this:

You have to choose the correct answer. The wrong answers are random, so each test is different. It plays a happy song if you get it right, and shows the correct answer if you get it wrong.

These are just a few examples. The possibilities are endless.

Try Flash! with QiSource and Jfile. I highly recommend trying and buying this program. (A Demo of Flash! is included with QiSource)
