Advice for getting the most out of these Praxis Biology 5236 flashcards

These 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

Using whatever spare 5 or 10 minutes you have throughout your day to work through your Praxis Biology flashcards is key to making quick progress. So, whenever you have a bit of time between classes, on the bus, or while waiting for a friend, take out Brainscape and fire off a quick 10-flashcard study round. If you can spend just 30 minutes per day drilling yourself on this content, you’ll progress so much quicker. Be consistent and keep your daily study streak alive!

2. 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 Praxis Biology 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.

3. Take a Praxis Biology 5236 practice test early on

One of the best ways to prepare for any test or exam is to practice answering the kind of questions you can expect to see on the real thing. Thankfully, Praxis Biology 5236 comes with a practice test, which you can find here:
