26. The Star System

27. 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.

28. The Star System
These stars
indicate how
many times
you’ve defined
the word
correctly on a
quiz

count on all
