What are Aviationexam Flashcards?
Flashcards are a separate study mode inside your Aviationexam account, designed for quick, focused revision. They appear as their own section on the dashboard and work independently from your test sessions. Flashcards use your question data, but they do not change your progress, performance statistics, or test filters.
You can revise freely without affecting your test results. Flashcards are not meant to replace tests. They are there to help you repeat, reinforce, and strengthen what you’ve already learned.

How Flashcards work
Flashcards use the same question database as your tests, but in a different way. When you start a flashcard session, you can choose between three basic sets:
All Questions
Unseen Questions
Incorrectly Answered Questions
The "Unseen" and "Incorrectly Answered" sets are based on your own test history. As your test data changes, these sets change too.
Important: going through flashcards does not change anything in your tests.
If you review an unseen question in Flashcards, it will still remain unseen in your test filters. Likewise, if you study only with Flashcards and never take tests, your progress statistics and "incorrectly answered" sets will stay empty. This is intentional. Flashcards read from your data, but they don't write back to it, which keeps your test results clean and your exam simulation realistic.
At the same time, Flashcards are designed to be flexible. You can filter cards by subject, database level, areas, subareas, or specific question types, so you can focus on what matters most at that moment - whether it's a weak topic, a tricky question type, or a quick refresh before an exam.
You can also create up to three custom decks of your own. These can span multiple subjects and are ideal for collecting difficult questions, repeated mistakes, or topics you want to revise together in one focused session.
Your Flashcards follow your structure, not just the syllabus.
Tests and Flashcards - how they work together
Tests and Flashcards serve different purposes, and understanding that difference helps you use both more effectively.
Tests are where your preparation gets measured. They simulate exam conditions, track your progress, highlight weak areas, and expose you to the pressure and structure of the real exam. They are essential for knowing where you stand and for building exam readiness over time.
Flashcards work differently. They are lighter, faster, and more flexible. They don't measure performance or affect your statistics - their role is repetition. Flashcards help you revisit questions and concepts without pressure, especially when you want to reinforce something rather than test yourself.
The strongest preparation usually combines both. Tests give structure and feedback. Flashcards help you revisit and reinforce what matters, as often as you need, without turning every session into an assessment.
How to use Flashcards effectively
Most students get the best results by starting with tests. That's where you work through the material properly, read explanations, and build understanding. Along the way, certain questions or topics will naturally stand out - things that slow you down, feel unintuitive, or keep coming back.
That's where Flashcards fit in.
They are ideal for revisiting tricky areas, strengthening weak topics, and keeping important details fresh. Many students use them for short daily revision sessions, when time is limited, or in the days leading up to an exam when the goal is familiarity rather than deep study.
Flashcards also give you control. Some questions need calculations, others rely on memory, and some just need to be seen a few more times. By filtering what you review, you can match your session to your energy level and the time you have available.
Used this way, Flashcards don't replace serious preparation - they support it. They help turn knowledge into confidence, so that when a question appears in the exam, it feels familiar instead of unsettling.
That feeling - "I've seen this before" - is exactly what you're aiming for.
