Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Can I use lexilink on multiple devices?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Your account syncs across all devices. Start studying on your computer and continue on your phone - your progress is always saved.

Question 7

What is spaced repetition?

Accepted Answer

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that schedules reviews at increasing intervals based on how well you know each item. If you remember something easily, you'll see it less often. If you struggle, you'll see it more. This optimizes your study time and dramatically improves long-term retention.

Question 8

What algorithm does lexilink use?

Accepted Answer

We use an enhanced version of the SM-2 (SuperMemo 2) algorithm. It tracks your performance on each item and calculates the optimal time for your next review. Our enhancements include better handling of difficult items and adaptive difficulty.

Question 9

How long should I study each day?

Accepted Answer

Consistency matters more than duration. We recommend 15-30 minutes daily. The algorithm ensures you're always reviewing the most important items, so even short sessions are highly effective.

Question 10

How does the review schedule work?

Accepted Answer

After you learn a new item, you'll review it the next day. If you remember it well, the interval increases (3 days, then a week, then two weeks, etc.). If you forget, it resets. This ensures efficient use of your study time.

Question 11

Can I reset my progress on a vocabulary set?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can reset progress on any vocabulary set from the set settings. This will clear all spaced repetition data and let you start fresh.

Question 12

Can I customize the algorithm?

Accepted Answer

Pro users can adjust parameters like initial intervals and difficulty factors. However, the defaults are optimized based on research and work well for most learners.

Question 13

What subjects can I study?

Accepted Answer

Anything! We have built-in templates for languages (Spanish, French, German, etc.), medicine, law, history, and sciences. But you can create custom vocabulary sets for any topic - from programming concepts to art history.

Question 14

How do I create a vocabulary set?

Accepted Answer

Click 'Create' from your dashboard, give your set a name, and start adding items. Each item has a term and definition (plus optional notes, pronunciation, examples, and media). You can also import from CSV or other formats.

Question 15

Can I add images or audio?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Pro users can add images and audio to vocabulary items. This is especially useful for language learning (pronunciation) and visual subjects.

Question 16

Can I share my vocabulary sets?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can make your sets public for the community, share them with specific classes, or keep them private. Teachers can share sets across all their classes.

Question 17

What are templates?

Accepted Answer

Templates are pre-built structures for different subjects. For example, a language template includes fields for word, translation, pronunciation, and example sentences. A medical template includes term, definition, category, and related terms.

Question 18
