Once installed, select the gFlash+ logo from the device's main screen.  Select any one of the cardsets installed on the device.

The default learning mode is "Honor System":

· Press any key to see the first answer on the BlackBerry or "Tap to Reveal Answer" on the iPhone/iPod touch

· Indicate whether you were correct or wrong by selecting the appropriate key:

     - "k" and "x" on the BlackBerry

     - tap either the check or "X" on the iPhone/iPod touch

· Your score will be tracked along the way with green boxes (correct) and red boxes (wrong)
· Continue to proceed through the set.

After you make your first pass, the incorrect cards are shuffled and replayed with a small subset of those you answered correctly so you can focus on the missed questions.

After you've answered all cards correctly you'll be prompted to take the quiz.

To make learning a little easier, select "Show Multiple Choice" mode.  On the BlackBerry, use the appropriate letter key to select the correct answer.  On the iPhone/iPod touch, just touch the answer.  Cards automatically advance after you've made your selection.

When you're ready to be tested, select "Take the Quiz" and your score will be tabulated.

 

You can reverse the questions and answers on cards by selecting "Reverse Q&A".  This is not appropriate for all card types (see "Create your own Flashcards" section for details).  Since this can be configured in the gWhiz Template, it may not be available on some of the cardsets loaded from the catalog.

You can change your last score on the iPhone by moving your finger left and right in the blank space.  On the BlackBerry, this is done by selecting the (Quick Key "c"), but does not work in multiple choice mode.
