Exams are very near! Help available

We wish all our students the best success in all their exams. Some students do wish for someone who asks them questions in order to see if they  know the subject or not. We have in mind a program which could be used for this purpose.

It’s available for Android, Windows, Mac or Linux users!  It’s free and open source so there aren’t any financial constraints in order to achieve a copy of the program. The name comes from the Greek’s goddess for memory – mnemosyne.

It’s a free flash-card tool which optimizes your learning process. So you put your information (which you need to remember for your exam) on a sort of a card (digital one). Now you can practise by reading the question and trying to answer it.

What makes this program a great studying too is that difficult cards that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won’t waste your time on things you remember well. So actually the coming up of cards can vary from student to student (according to a memory exercise).

One can make use of a picture or other languages (example Arabic). To download the program one can go here. On the same page, one can find any kind of help and/or documentation.
