# Rate a card

After you select **Check**, three buttons appear. Each button sets when the card comes back, and it shows this time, for example *4 days*. The first button brings the card back soonest, and the last button brings it back latest.

Your answer decides which three buttons you see. They are red for a wrong answer and green for a right answer. On a phone, the buttons stand one above the other. On a computer, they stand side by side.

## Rate a wrong answer

The three buttons are red. Each one always gives the same time, whatever the history of the card.

| Button | Back in |
|---|---|
| **Forgot** | 10 min |
| **Recalled** | 1 hour |
| **Almost** | 4 hours |

The three buttons differ only in this time. Each one restarts the count of your right answers on this card. So your next right answer gives a time from the *First right answer* column below.

## Rate a right answer

The three buttons are green. The time depends on the button that you choose, and on the number of right answers that you gave in a row on this card.

| Button | First right answer | Second right answer in a row |
|---|---|---|
| **Hard** | 1 day | 4 days |
| **Hesitant** | 2 days | 6 days |
| **Perfect** | 4 days | 8 days |

From the third right answer in a row, the time depends on the history of the card. It is always longer than the last time. **Hesitant** gives a longer time than **Hard**, and **Perfect** gives the longest time.

Each green button also changes how fast the times of this card grow. **Hard** slows them, **Hesitant** changes nothing, and **Perfect** speeds them up.

The button rounds a long time. For example, 8 days shows as *1 week*.

## After the time passes

The card waits in its deck until you open it. Right answers never remove a card from Memorix, however many you give. To remove a card, [delete it](/en/memorix/manage-your-cards).
