about your strengths and weaknesses.
Subsequent quizzes take into account this
information in order to make your learning

The Star System
The Star System
• To make memorizing fun and effective, myvocabapp is built upon a concept called stars.
• The number of stars on each word indicate how many times in a row you defined the word correctly in a quiz.
• Every time you answer correctly, you earn 1 star, every time you answer wrong, you lose ALL your stars! Ouch! That's right, you have to start over. Sound challenging enough?
• So if you've got 5 stars on a word, you can be confident that you've successfully memorized the word and it's definition.
The Star System
These stars
indicate how
many times
you’ve defined
the word
correctly on a

The Star System
