I have been studying bangity's anki set and they are amazing. I never realized how little biology I knew. When I read over the text in KBB or Cliffs, I feel comfortable with most of the material but Anki truly puts me to the test. My head hurts from Anki, but in a good way, like I'm learning.. at least more so than just re-reading Cliffs.
In the past, I have had some success with using rote memorization (ie. re-reading your notes several times) to learn subjects like biology but I (perhaps I shouldn't be!) am surprised at how Anki really makes me learn the material and not just think I know it.
I just wanted to recommend this study strategy -- if it isn't obvious enough (which it wasn't for me). I truly believe this as a very effective way to learn the material.
