anki

Posting for a friend who wants to use anki in undergrad but hasn’t been able to find any premade decks that are at the undergrad level. Anyone have any good decks they used in undergrad for anatomy and physiology?

[Note to mods: I feel this is relevant enough to Allo given your guys experience with all things ANKI and given I know a few of you are doing Step 3 to make use of quarantine time during the pandemic.] Background: I'm have a month of dedicated time to finish Step 3 prep. I've completed UW with...

I know this is may be a very individual-based question, but I would appreciate any help/advice! I'm an MS2 and I've only started using Anki about two months ago - my goal is to get through most of Zanki (32,281 cards) by mid-April as I prepare for my Step 1 in mid-June. I've seen about 5,000...

What the heck is Anki? What is the forgetting curve? Where do I get it and how much does it cost? Where can I learn more? Where can I get premade decks to study from? I have a question that isn't answered here

Hello Med Students! I am a new grad PA who was having a huge internal battle of whether or not if I should go back to medical school. I have ultimately decided to try working as a PA for a few years first. However, I do acknowledge I have holes in my knowledge for the foundational sciences. And...

Hey y'all, I'm a second year pre-med and as I move towards more advanced chemistry and biology courses, I got curious about what other pre-meds or current medical students used to scope their studying for things like bio courses and general/o-chem. I've used Quizlet and Anki interchangeably...

Hi everyone! I need some advice regarding making anki flashcards with UWorld information. I've tried reading explanations and making only a few flashcards, but that didn't work well for me because I felt I needed more context. Tried to make a small summary of the vignette of the front and...

Hello everyone! I plan on making an Anki Deck at some point in the future once life gets a little more settled down. I was just curious what topics you all think I should include that could help you brush up on things, such as anatomy, instruments, and other potential pimpin' questions. Once I...

I started the r/OphthalmologyAnki to ultimately build a dream deck: The BCSC ophtho deck for residents. (2019-2020 version) I am calling for anyone who is willing to help: medical students with dedication to ophthalmology, med 4/interns who matched to ophthalmology, ophtho residents, fellows...

Hey all. I'm an M1 interested in maturing OG Zanki before dedicated. Currently, I've matured roughly 10% of the deck (corresponding with class units and B&B/pathoma videos I've covered). We haven't fully moved into an organ systems based curriculum yet, so I'm trying to establish disciplined...

Title of thread

Is there anyone using Anki filtered decks with "hierarchical tags" as their primary study strategy instead of one or two large main Anki deck(s)? If so, a few questions: 1 -- What strategy have you found works best ? 2-- What tags did you add yourself ( i.e. subject, Uworld, FA) ? 3-- What...

Hi all, I'm currently 8 points away from my goal after NBME 18 with 2 weeks to go. I've got 19, UWSA1 and UWSA2 left. I also have a sizable amount of UW questions left. I was wondering whether to ditch Anki (aside from my UW deck) to free up more time to do UW and work on specific weak areas...

Lately I've read a few studies from the cognitive science world that have outlined certain background colors for paper, notes, highlighting, etc. and their potential correlations to optimizing memory. Seems like there's no clear consensus; some studies cite warm colors like yellow for paper...

rather elusive, this deck...

I recently downloaded Anki and brosencephalon and good god do I hate this program. This softare has the least intuitive and user-friendly UI I've ever encountered. I've watched videos and read guides and for the life of me I still can't figure out how to use it or barely even navigate it. I...

Hey y'all. Rising M2 here who just discovered Zanki and loving it. Question for those of you who took Step and matured Zanki before dedicated: should you even bother reading First Aid? I feel like I've learned more this past month doing cards than I have trying to remember all the text in the...

Hey, I have 2 more months before dedicated and was wondering which is best? Rank them and give reasons please ! (I haven't started making any Anki cards myself)

Throughout my entire academic career, flashcards have NEVER worked for me. This is one of the reasons why I struggle in courses that require pure memorization. I get much better results when I read the book or create logical flow charts/diagrams. The reason I mention this is because everyone...

I'll be starting microbiology in January and I wanted to know which Anki deck you guys thought was better for microbiology. I'm also open to any other suggestions for resources I could benefit from. Thanks.

Did bootcamp remove ANKI deck?

I just finished first semester of M1 and was going to use FA to review Biochem because I feel like it went in one ear and out the other. I made Anki decks for every lecture, but my professors kind of sucked. So my thought was to go through FA Biochem and make Anki decks from that. Some are...

Hello everyone! This is my first thread on here. I joined because of my name exactly. So basically I have seen a lot of people swear by anki(bros) and I can't seem to understand how to use the app well. Please can someone tell me all the steps to setting up the bros deck on my anki Also is...

The add-on, made by Glutanimate: Cloze Overlapper - AnkiWeb His video showing how you can use it: This guy is like the Anki god, lol. He has videos for everything. You can even "gamify" your reviews.

Hey Guys, I am a first year medical student and I just started my fourth week of medical school. The curriculum just changed this year where we have weekly take home timed quizzes that we can take anytime Friday through Sunday at noon. Even though it is my fourth week, I am still at odds on the...

Hey guys, I'm a rookie MS1 and medical school is starting this week. The first course is General Anatomy, and I go to a school that exclusively utilizes NBME exams. The thing is though, that the professors select the NMBE questions, so there's probably some focus on what is taught in lecture. I...

Hi anki experts I'm using Zanki to study along with class, and I want to study what I covered in class that day. Is there any way I can study specific topics first in the deck? So for instance, I do 100 new cards a day, and if I covered EKGs in class, I want to do EKG related new cards first. Is...

My DAT is in less than a month. I read through Cliffs one time and made flash cards on all the destroyer bio problems. I wanted to know you guys think would be most efficient/effective in addition to studying my destroyer flashcards: reading over Feralis, rereading Cliffs, or simply downloading...

After talking to a couple rising third year students, it has come to my attention there there is a new anki deck (zanki) competing with brosencephalon. Can anyone provide insight on to which is the better of these two decks? To those who have just taken boards, any thoughts/comments on what you...

Just looking for this legendary anki deck that everyone uses apparently! Can't find it here. There is a 2014 version on his website but I have heard talk of updated versions. Where can I find these? Thanks all.

Hi, I've recently started using anki so I'm not that familiar with the settings. I'm using feralis deck and I seem to go slowly through the material as there are so many cards. I was wondering if its possible to adjust the settings so I can go through all the cards in a month?

So, I'm finding it too passive to just read FA cover-to-cover, but I keep finding sources that say this is the way to go. On the flip-side, I have used ANKI (Bros deck) and have loved it. Anyone have any thoughts on using USMLE-Rx Express Videos combo'd with ANKI in place of reading FA?

Hey guys, I'm coming to the last block of MS1 and have been doing well with out ever appreciably using Anki or firecracker but I want to add in something for spaced repetition so that I can make sure I retain everything over the summer and MS2. Does anyone have an opinion of whether I should...

Curious what peoples experiences/thoughts are with the pre-made Kaplan and AAMC flashcards? Are these worth my money, or should I invest the time into making my own on Anki?
