Advice for getting the most out of these WSET® Diploma flashcards

These WSET Diploma flashcards are delivered via a synchronized web/mobile experience that uses spaced repetition to optimize your study time, cutting your memorization time dramatically, while allowing you to track your progress. Just remember to… 1. Study a little bit every day If you spend just 30 minutes per day using these flashcards to drill yourself, you’ll very quickly build a rock-solid foundation of precisely the knowledge you need for the WSET Diploma exams. Importantly, you’ll wake up every day with the previous day’s material already baked into your memory, allowing you to build a powerful fortress of knowledge as you progress through your studies. Be consistent and keep your daily study streak alive! 2. Be opportunistic Using any opportunity to work through your WSET® Diploma flashcards—even if it’s just a few minutes—is key to making quick progress. So, whenever you have a bit of time between meetings, in a supermarket queue, or while waiting for a friend, take out Brainscape and fire off a quick 10-flashcard study round. 3. Be stingy with the 5’s Every time you rate your confidence in a flashcard, you tell the little gremlins that run Brainscape how frequently to show you that card again. The higher you rate a card on that scale of 1 to 5, the longer it’ll be until you’ll see it again. This is how Brainscape drills you on your weaknesses, while saving you time on the WSET Diploma concepts you’re totally confident in. Just make sure that you only rate a card a ‘5’ when you are 100% sure you’ll never, ever forget it again.
