Flashcards and AI Quizzes Bring Spaced Repetition to Finance Study

Capital Academy has added two new study tools: spaced-repetition flashcards and AI-powered quizzes. Both are designed to help learners remember what they study, not just watch it once.

Why remembering matters

Finance is full of formulas, ratios, definitions and rules. Understanding a concept in a lesson is the first step. Recalling it weeks later, in an exam or at work, is the real test.

Research on learning consistently shows that people remember more when they review material at spaced intervals and test themselves, rather than rereading notes.

Flashcards in practice

Each class now comes with a set of flashcards covering its key terms, formulas and concepts. Cards are reviewed using spaced repetition: ones you find difficult come back sooner, and ones you know well come back less often.

Flashcards work well for quick daily revision, such as:

  • Bond pricing and yield formulas
  • Valuation ratios and what they measure
  • Order types and how they execute
  • Key regulatory and ethics principles

AI quizzes that adapt to you

Alongside flashcards, AI quizzes generate personalised practice questions linked to each learner's progress. If you struggle with a topic, the quiz focuses there until your answers improve.

Questions are drawn from a bank of more than 60,000 assessment questions written for Capital Academy classes. Each one is linked to the curriculum and written to an exam standard.

Building a complete toolkit

Flashcards and AI quizzes join cinematic video lessons and interactive podcasts. Together they let learners watch, listen, revise and test in one place. More formats are on the way.
