Five Tips to Increase Anki Speed and Efficiency

Yo what's up my Nakama!? So I've been in Medical School for 6 months now and probably the best recourse I've come across is Anki which is a flash card based software program that implements spaced repetition in order to memorize the crazy amounts of information thrown at us daily. It is a little daunting and can seem time consuming to start off and takes a little getting used to but over the course of the past few months I've developed a few strategies that have allowed me to be fast and efficient in using Anki. Watch the whole video and find out my top 5 tips :) Do your reviews everyday and as always...Dattebayo!

I'm starting to notice a trend between having a studying youtube channel and being in med-school.

I actually find it useful to do it on my phone. Especially during free time at work.

I usually do my anki during my morning commute to work. I find it the most helpful as that is alwaya a fixed environment I encounter almost everyday and I don't actually have to waste any of the productive hours of the day, that I'd rather spend learning as against memorizing..

Hey man, thanks for this video, it’s been very helpful! I used forest a couple years back for standard revision but never considered applying it to anki weirdly enough. This is just the breakthrough I needed to get through my current anki slump. George (UK med student)

I’m so happy I’ve stubbled upon your channel

[adrianaflorence]

how do you do 400 cards in 50 minutes😭😭. I’ve struggled to just do 300 in a day for psychology and i’ve just started

Hi. You mention unsuspending cards / deck. I didn't know it could be done. So basically suspending a deck pauses it, and then when you are ready to take it on, you unsuspend it? Mind explaining how to suspend/unsuspend a deck?

[sapphireblue]

Your video was quite insightful. It's also motivated me a bit. I also use Forest for Anki as well sometimes haha

Hey Daniel, I’m diggin your videos! I’ve just recently started using Anki for anatomy—figured it would be good practice before starting med school in August ;) Thanks for the tips!

[ashleytimmreck]

Hi Daniel! Can you link your desk please?? Have you found the sit to stand function helpful or do you find that you didn't need that?

[kad.k]

I like your channel!
I have a question though, so you do like 800 cards per hour ON THE FIRST "try" ?? because i've been using Anki for a few weeks now and i make like 450 max per DAY !
I'm guessing the cards you make are quite short right ?
another question, do you make cards for everything you need to learn or just the important material ?
btw I've a first-year med student in France :D

[LearningLeaps]

I think my problem is learning the material because I spend so much time trying to figure out the answer to the card.
I average 200 cards per hour.

Hi! What day intervals do you use for good, easy, and hard? Some people have told me to just use just again and good but this takes me a long time to get through the deck...what do you recommend?

[vinnizereypilapil]

I like your channel, I have a question bro, I am making an Anki cards in my IPAD, the only problem I encountered is the tables in IPad. How to make tables in IPad?

[jinabae]

Thanks this was actually very helpful tips :)

[RaviShankar-esbk]

Hi. So do you do pre-made decks primarily?

[khalidzihar]

Would you use cloze deletions or multiple line answer for a question that has multiple answers?

[awaking_]

Is anki helps in remembering dates?
So many research paper facts and years :)

[rozygcf]

When you're saying 600 cards an hour, is that new cards or reviews or both? I can only do 50 blue cards per hour on my most focused periods. Typically I can only do like 3
20 blue cards an hour lol, even after listening to the lecture lol.
