Are flashcards at A level useful?

Is it worth me continuing to make flashcards on quizlet as an a level economics student. I dont often review them, and struggle to solidify looking over them into a habit. Is it really a good use of my time to try and consciously try to review them consistently and continue creating more, or should i drop flashcards and take a different approach to revision?
Flashcards can be great if you use them correctly. Are you in year 12 or 13?

12, its really close to mock exams, are flashcards the best use of my time at this point?

Yes, flashcards are my go to for active recall! I enjoy testing how much I know on flashcards for 10 mins before I start revising using questions.

If you don’t have enough time to create more, I would use the free flashcards produced by other people on Quizlet or Gimzo Ai.

Yess seeing as you are in year 12. As long as you involve it in your revision they are really helpful.
