ChatGPT has introduced a new flashcard-based quiz feature designed to help users learn and evaluate their knowledge on various topics. The tool is part of ChatGPT’s “Study and Learn” mode.
The author tested the feature using the prompt: “Turn financial econometrics into a clean GPT flashcard quiz,” selecting the GPT-5-Thinking model to generate more complex questions related to applying statistical methods to financial market data. However, the flashcard feature is not limited to a specific GPT-5 model.
Upon receiving the prompt, GPT-5 analyzes the question and generates a flashcard directly within the conversation. Users can select an answer, and ChatGPT will present the next question. At the end of the quiz, a scorecard is provided.
Users can then ask follow-up questions, delve deeper into the subject matter, and take another quiz. GPT-5 retains memory of user progress to refine and improve subsequent quizzes.
The effectiveness of quizzes as a learning tool is supported by a study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which states that quizzes allow students to “evaluate their actual, rather than their perceived, depth of knowledge.” GPT-5’s Study and Learn mode, incorporating flashcard quizzes, aims to leverage this principle to enhance the learning experience.
The new flashcard quiz feature is designed to enable users to assess their understanding of a topic, reinforcing learning through active recall and evaluation.
