I think that really depends on how you use the cards. I know medicine students who clearly are passionate about their subject, but just need to get the reminders on individual terms because there’s such a wide range of topics they need to be prepared for, and lots of very similar words.

I also know that in math courses, there’s certain formulas with similar names I simply need to remember because deriving them on a test would be too time consuming. Or I could imagine in chemistry there’s various special cases that you’d want to be able to recite on a test.

I’ve never tried it for language learning but people talk highly of it, so there’s definitely some truth in their utility there.

I think the trick is flash cards are fantastic supplementally with other studying strategies.
