How to use Quizlet

Create your own sets

Add your own terms and definitions, questions and answers, and notes (whatever you are teaching) to Quizlet to create a custom set. If you have existing word lists, you can easily import them using the Quizlet website. With their own free accounts, students can create sets too.

Log in on the website

Find more features for teachers by logging into your account on quizlet.com, including the ability to create classes and track student activity and progress. Students can join your classes using the app.

Use images and audio

For more context, add images that illustrate your terms. Quizlet also provides audio for 18 different languages, which means your students can hear their terms and definitions as they're studying.

Search for sets

Quizlet has over 150 million flashcard sets on hundreds of different topics that you can share with your students. Search by keywords, subjects, and titles to find helpful sets on what you're teaching in class.

Encourage competition

Use Match, our timed game mode, to have students compete with themselves and others for the fastest time and first place spot.

Update your info

You can update your email address, password, profile picture, and notification options in your Settings. You will also find a link to our Help Center, with more information on using Quizlet's app and website.

Organize using folders

Once you've created several sets, you can organize them into folders. As you search for and find sets created by others, you can add them to your folders too.

Use Quizlet offline

If you or your students are logged into the app without wifi or cellular data, you can keep studying your most recent sets and even create new ones. Once you go back online, we'll sync all your sets and your progress.

Ask students to practice your sets

Have students download the app to use Quizlet's study modes - Learn, Cards, Write, and Test - to practice your sets effectively, in whatever way works best for them. With Learn, they'll also receive helpful study reminders and progress check points.

Share your sets

Share your sets or folders with students in a variety of ways, including email, messaging apps, and social media. Create classes on the Quizlet website to share content with a specific group of students.
