As I've created sets, I've discovered hidden Quizlet formatting tricks:

  • Use (parentheses) with parts of terms in the English language to not force it to be typed in Learn, Speller, Test, and Space Race but to include extra information -- e.g. photosynthesis (process for plants), only type photosynthesis in Space Race to make earning points more efficient and assess only what's important.
  • Use * one asterisk * with a term or definition to make it bold. This is useful in longer definitions.
  • For custom images (Plus/Teacher only), download an image, and put a question mark on the term if mentioned so it's easier to understand what part of the image you're referring to.
  • Use the description, especially if you want to tell the user "best if studied from definition to term" or give a link to extra resources, image credits, etc.

Organization strategies:

  • Include the textbook name, edition, and author on your set/folder if known so people who aren't in your class at school can study similarly-formatted material.
  • Use Google Docs or similar to document important set notes if you have a lot to say in the description.
  • Don't use the term in the definition as best as you can. Use a _____ (blank) or hint to the term in some way.
  • Make your definitions succinct (i.e. not too wordy, in your own words) so they don't require too much understanding of the wording, and more understanding of the material.

I would get a t-shirt and a sticker just for fun, and to get Quizlet to be used more often in school.

What are your future plans for the Quizlet website?

Are there going to be any new games or ways to organize content in folders or on sets? Maybe you could have a user-created games page using the Quizlet API.

What is the best way to get your sets out there? Is there a way to create a profile page with featured sets/folders and links to extra resources?

You can export terms on the mobile website (not the app) under the 3 dot menu and import them when creating another.

Change the delimiters -- maybe use something obscure, for example, ::: for the term and \n\n\t (2 new lines and a tab) for the definition so the import works with different ways of writing cards.
