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.

indicate how
