FCAs contain thousands of essential words and specialized vocabulary covering several categories such as biology, history, art, environment, social and human science. FCAs have customizable features. They have several learning modes: Study, Slide show, Matching, Memorize and Quiz. Students can listen and learn, without having to look at the screen. Multiple choice tests, Group choice test, Word choice test are provided as well. Words can be browsed alphabetically, sequentially, or randomly. They are a good tool for improving vocabulary and helping the students learn faster and remember more in a shorter time. Words that are important or difficult can be starred and revised on demand.  \nThis article gives examples of standardized test mobile flashcard apps (MFCAs), shows how FCAs can be located and  \ngives some criteria for selecting relevant flashcards apps. Instruction with the MFCAs goes through three stages: pretask, task, and post-task phases. The instructor serves as a facilitator. She can help the students find and download flashcards that meet their needs and purposes and match their proficiency level, gives pre-questions, and follows the students up to make sure they are making the best use of them. The article concludes with some recommendations.  \nKeywords—mobile flashcards, digital flashcards, flashcard apps, test preparation, test flashcards, standardized tests, test mobile apps, EFL students.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nNowadays, mobile applications have become an integral part of students’ everyday life. Students of all ages use them for a variety of purposes, including second language learning. A variety of mobile apps exist for developing the listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary skills, literature, dictionaries, and standardized tests preparation and others (Al-Jarf, 2021; Al-Jarf, 2021; Al-Jarf, 2020; Al-Jarf, 2016; Al-Jarf, 2015a; Al-Jarf, 2015b; Al-Jarf, 2014; Al-Jarf, 2013a; Al-Jarf, 2013b; Al-Jarf, 2012a; Al-Jarf, 2012b) . In addition, students in different majors such as psychology, and engineering can use digital flashcards or FCAs on their mobiles.  \nTraditionally, flashcards are small cards for taking notes. They are used for reviewing, rehearsing, testing, and improving memory by retrieving practiced information. They typically have two sides, with the prompt written on one side and the information about the prompt written on the reverse side. They can be used for studying names, dates, vocabulary, procedures, and/or basic concepts. In general, a group of flashcards represent a category of information that the student is studying, trying to memorize and remember, and eventually master. With latest advancements in technology, there are several websites and software that can be used for creating flashcards. Those are called digital flashcards. Mobile apps such as Quizlet and StudyBlue that are available on smart mobile phones, can be used by students to access flashcards from  \nanywhere. A multitude of digital/mobile flashcards covering several categories such as: Math, biology, engineering, archeology, history, art, environment, social and human science, psychology, and languages such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, English, and others can be downloaded from the Google Play and Apple App stores. There are children’s as well as adult flashcards. FCAs contain thousands of essential words and specialized vocabulary as well.  \nDue to the importance of digital/mobile flashcards, areview of the literature has shown numerous studies that highlighted the benefits of using FCAs in vo","cbCaiaUGn4m54TRD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaUGn4m54TRD","pdf",2211964,"English","# Introduction\n## Digital/mobile flashcards in everyday student life\n## Traditional flashcards and the shift to digital formats\n## Reported benefits for vocabulary learning with flashcard apps\n## Criteria and examples for using standardized-test flashcard apps","[{\"question\":\"Which standardized tests are supported by mobile flashcard apps in the article?\",\"answer\":\"Apps are described for preparation of IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, GRE, and SAT standardized tests.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning modes and study features do the flashcard apps provide?\",\"answer\":\"They offer customizable features and multiple modes such as Study, Slide show, Matching, Memorize, and Quiz, plus listening-based learning without needing to look at the screen.
