In Learn Mode, Genius will first show you both the front and the back side of the card (the question and the answer). The next time you see the card, you will only be shown the front side and you will be asked to type in the back side. This sample comes from Family Law.

After you have seen a card for the first time, you will be shown only the front side. The question mark indicates that you should type in the back side. In this example from Property, an answer has been entered at the bottom. Pressing the “return” key will check your answer.

Your answer will be compared to the back side of the card, with the differences highlighted. In this case, the differences are minor (I typed “buys” instead of “purchases” and left out the word “and”), so I would probably click on the “Yes” button to tell the program I got it right.

The List view in Genius shows all of the cards in a deck. Only the cards you check will be reviewed in the next study session, allowing you to concentrate on a limited number of cards. The score column shows how many times you have typed in the correct answer for a card (“0” means you have been shown the card but have not answered it). The text boxes on the right let you see (and edit) the full question and answer for the currently selected card (highlighted in blue).

In Learn Mode, Genius will show you the front side of the card. You simply try to remember the answer and then click on the “Show answer” button to see if you got it right. To make it more interactive, like Genius, you might want to recite the answer out loud or type it into another window. This sample comes from Partnership. The graph at the top shows that you have learned 4 cards in this category and have 21 more cards yet to learn. “Deck 1” are the cards you have remembered the answer for once, “Deck 2” twice, etc.

After you press the “Show answer” button, jMemorize shows you, well, the answer. Tell it whether you got it right by clicking on “Yes” or “No.”

The “Category tree” on the left shows all of the topics. The graph and the list show the statistics and cards for the selected category (Partnership, in this example). In Learn mode, you will be shown cards only from the selected category.

By selecting a category “higher” on the tree, you can combine lists. In this example, “State” has been selected. The graph and list show the cards in all of the State categories (Agency, Civil Procedure, Corporations, Partnership, and Secured Transactions). If you enter Learn mode with “State” selected, you will be shown cards from all five of those categories. You can drag topics, or even selected cards, into different categories to create smaller subsets of cards for studying. For example, you could drag “Partnership” and “Secured Transactions” into the “Study” category to review cards just from those two categories. Or you could drag 10 cards from “Partnership” into the “Study” category to focus on just those cards, similar to checking them in Genius. Then, after you have reviewed them, drag them back into their original category.

Editing cards in jMemorize is done in a separate window, as shown in this example from Secured Transactions.
