The Mac is no stranger to education, and one of the best study applications available is Genius, a virtual flash card program. By utilizing repetition patterns, Genius aims to help in memorizing miscellaneous items.

Genius works by allowing for entering a series of questions and answers. Each of these questions can be assigned to categories with individual keywords. Then, it can be used to either learn terms or review them. It will darken the screen and ask the entered questions in a pattern that will help you remember them.

It determines the order of questions based on which answers you get correct and which are incorrect. The questions that you answer wrong will appear more often then those that you answered correctly. Once the quizzing process is over, the main Genius window displays the score for each question, and the overall percentage of understanding for the set of questions.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to easily take Genius on the go. There is no iPhone application available, and printing off flash cards is not easy. In fact, Genius has been rarely updated in the past few years and could become nonexistent in the near future.

As of now, however, Genius is a fantastic desktop application that is completely free and works tremendously well. You can see more information on their website, and download it from macupdate.
