They can then click the 'Learn now' button to revisit and practice the flashcards they struggled with.

The Flashcards section of the student dashboard will display all completed and assigned flashcard sets and their Confidence scores. Students can visit and revisit these flashcard sets to practice, self-assess, and master memorizing information.

Students can even earn coins on completing a newly assigned Flashcards set. These coins can then be used to customize Qbits.
