False

When constructing flashcards, it’s important to first note what the purpose of flashcards is. Flashcards are used to help you commit things to memory in way that is easier than using a textbook to do so. Textbooks, as you may know, have an inundation of information that can be overwhelming. As such, flashcards should contain only the bare minimum because you don’t want to overload yourself with information. Flashcards would best be used to learn single terms, important dates, equations, and/or information that is easy to memorize. Thus, to get the most out of a flashcard, you would not put as much information as you can on it; you would do just the opposite so information on it can be easily remembered.

The statement "To make the most out of a flashcard, you should put as much information as you can onto one card," is FALSE.

A flashcard or flash card is a card bearing information, as words or numbers, on either or both sides, used in classroom drills or in private study. A question is written on a side and an answer overleaf. Flashcards can bear vocabulary, historical dates, formulae or any subject matter that can be learned via a question-and-answer format. Flashcards are widely used as a learning drill to aid memorization.
