Hey all,

current first year here and I have been slowly incorporating more practice questions into my study routines. Currently using the Guyton-Hall review for phys topics.

After I go through a set of problems and then review the answers, I feel like I might not be getting the most out of the review part of it. I go through and see which ones are right and which are wrong. Then review the answer and the explanation. But I just seem to read through it a few times and then move on.

What's the best way to review the explanations when you do practice questions. I hear about people making anki cards for the questions they get wrong. How exactly? Do you just make a few for the question you got wrong? A little tid bit of info for that question?

What's the protocol for reviewing answer explanations?

I use a two screen mode with board questions on one side and Anki on the other. I write down the simplified version (assuming I got the dx right and only missed the second order part of the question) of what the question is getting at and then the answer.
