Main Features

Migaku Flexible Grading is a very light weight add-on with just two major features:

  1. Pass/Fail Answering Mode
  2. Answering on the Front of the Card

Pass/Fail Answering Mode

To use Pass/Fail Answering Mode you must first enable it, to do so:

  1. Click "Migaku" in Anki's top menu bar.
  2. Click "Enable Pass/Fail".

Once you have enabled Pass/Fail Answering Mode you will see that Anki's default buttons have been replaced by a "Fail" and a "Pass" button.

To find out more about why we recommend using Pass/Fail Answering Mode please read this section of our Anki Guide.

Answering on the Front of the Card

We at Migaku feel that a learner will often know that they simply "know" a card a lot of the time, and often times not really look at the Back of the Card while reviewing. In order to speed up the reviews of the well-known cards Migaku Flexible Grading adds the ability to answer cards from their Front Side.

You can do this by:

  1. Clicking the answering buttons that are added to the front of cards by the add-on.
  2. Pressing the hotkeys 1, 2, 3, or 4.
