Learn for the Einbürgerungstest with Spaced Repetition

Spaced Repetition is a scientifically proven learning method; it helps you retain knowledge long-term instead of forgetting it right after the exam. Many learners use apps like Anki for this purpose. But for the Einbürgerungstest, there is an easier solution; no setup, import, or configuration needed.

What Is Spaced Repetition?

The principle is simple: you don't repeat questions randomly but according to an intelligent schedule. Questions you answer incorrectly come up more often. Questions you already know well are repeated less frequently. This way, you invest your study time where it matters most.

The science behind it is called the "forgetting curve" (Ebbinghaus). Without repetition, you forget newly learned material within days. With targeted repetition at the right moment, the knowledge stays in your long-term memory permanently.

Anki vs. Our Platform

Anki is a popular flashcard app that uses Spaced Repetition. There are even ready-made Anki decks with all BAMF questions for the Einbürgerungstest. However, Anki has a steep learning curve. You need to install the app, import decks, configure settings; and all of that before you see your first question.

Our platform offers Spaced Repetition built right in; no setup required. Here is how the two compare:

• Anki: Install the app, find a deck, import it, adjust settings, then start learning
• Our platform: Open the website, click "Intelligentes Lernen"; done. Spaced Repetition runs automatically in the background.

• Anki: Flashcard mode only
• Our platform: Flashcards + exam simulation + browse all questions + retry mistakes

• Anki: German only (unless you create your own translations)
• Our platform: Translation assistance in 16 languages; with one click

• Anki: No exam simulation, no statistics, no progress tracking specifically for the Einbürgerungstest
• Our platform: Prüfungs-Bereitschaft shows you with a single number how ready you are

How Intelligentes Lernen Works on Our Platform

The "Intelligentes Lernen" mode on our platform uses Spaced Repetition under the hood. Each question is assigned a priority based on:

• Never seen before? Highest priority; new questions are shown first.
• Frequently answered incorrectly? High priority; these are the questions you need the most.
• Correct but due for review? Medium priority; the knowledge needs to be refreshed.
• Recently answered correctly? Low priority; you already know these questions.

You receive 20 questions per session, optimally compiled for your current level. The more you practice, the better the algorithm learns where your weak spots are.

Additional Study Aids

In addition to Spaced Repetition, our platform offers features that Anki does not have:

• Markieren (Flag): Mark difficult questions and find them anytime using the "Markierte Fragen" filter.
• Personal Notes: Write down mnemonics or explanations for any question; in your native language.
• Read Aloud: Have questions and answers read aloud to you in German.
• Offline: Study without an internet connection; on the train, on a plane, or on the go.

When Should You Still Use Anki?

Honestly: if you already know Anki and are comfortable with it, there is nothing wrong with using it alongside our platform. Anki is especially strong when you want to create your own flashcards; for example for the B1 language test or other exams.

For the Einbürgerungstest alone, however, the Anki setup is hardly worth it. Our platform covers everything you need; and you can get started right away.
