Essential Anki Settings I Wish I Changed Sooner

Anki is the best way to memorize anything. But are you using it right?
The forget function, learning intervals, card customization, missed questions, add-ons--do you use these things with your Anki cards? You probably should. In this post, I'll review 11 less well-known tips for maximizing your retention when using Anki. Anki revolutionized how I study; if you don't know what Anki is, I recommend you watch one of my earlier videos or join my class for a complete guide, as this video has specific, more advanced tips.

Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos about anki!! I started using it this year because of you and its truly been life changing. Excited to hear what you say in this video :)

Instead of the forget function, I use the Anking’s “difficult cards deck” method which uses a filtered deck to select cards whose ease is low suggesting you are getting them wrong a lot. Same idea though, it’s good to make sure you know what ideas you aren’t getting.

Dear Zach, I trust you are well.
Thank you for sharing.

I need some advice, memorising is time consuming so I memorize for 30 minutes per page.

I did pass all my exams, but I need to know how to gain understanding skills and remember what I read?

Thank you.

[zjzjjuuuub]

Greetings I have a problem when I first started using anki I set my maximum interval to short for 4 months I want to extend that for atleast a year any suggestions how to do that ( the mature cards turn to 1 year by default; I wanted to stay 4 months until I see the card again)

[revisaluiza]
