I decided to use Anki again after watching this video. It changed my perspective on using Anki! I had failed multiple times to make lots of fact-based Anki cards and easily gave up. We should use it not to memorize individual facts, but to explore the connections between concepts. Thanks Dr. P.

Ive started using anki recently and thinking if i was doing it right. Grateful for your video as it is telling me that i am doing the same thing the way u do it. Hoping to maximize my capacity and crack my upcoming national exam. Definitely you gain a subscriber. Keep it up!

Wow, god bless, you have no idea how much help this is for my studies in CRNA 🙏

This is life-changing information. Awesome video!

AHHH i knew it. before I medical school I was making my own cards. The process was long but I was doing really well in those pre-med classes. Starting pre-clinicals, there was so much information to learn with so little time that I started using Anking. I think the premade was very helpful when it comes to saving time, but I didn't learn anything...maybe bite size information but not the big picture.. I'm in dedicated right now and it sucks having the need to relearn concepts because I was auto-piloting the anking card during my pre-clinical years. ughh Hopefully it's not too late to change as I'm going into rotations.

Very unique approach to such a common topic. Congratulations!!!

You are the best Dr. as far as I know.

This video was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for making this.

I have a question related to my course. For my course, pharmacy, that’s mostly open-book (not always) how can I best focus on making Anki cards? I find that even though you don’t have to memorise content as much, it’s still helpful to do it. Should I just be putting practise questions on Anki or what’s a good approach?

I know this is a relatively older video but I have revisted it since I am currently struggling to keep up with the pace of learning in my pre-clinical year and then making flashcards at the same time. Are there any strategies recommended to reduce the time investment upfront?

[AM-zuxi]

Hey great video thanks. Do you agree basic format is better than cloze? so you can make more conceptual based questions?

[rawazhadi]

Great video, i have a question though, i make flashcards of the lecture completely to get a good grade, after the semester ends, i suspend those cards that are not that important so thati can concentrate more on those that im gonna need in the upcoming years, is this a good strategy?

[Omaral-Mukhtar-mm]

What is your opinion about this use image occlusion? Instead of generating Q from the passages I will make image occlusion and try to recall the whole passage what is your opinion about this ?

[Omaral-Mukhtar-mm]

What is your advice for me to do effective anki cards and I want you to know that my medical school exams are 80% written and 20% MCQs 😢

So it depends on memorization

[tdgyfhp]

Could you provide a few more good card examples? Admittedly, I’m having a bit of difficulty understanding your examples of what makes a card good or not, as I don’t study medicine. I’m currently studying computer science, where much of the theory focuses less on memorizing facts (although there is some of this), and more on developing a deep understanding of concepts. I’m trying to incorporate Anki into my studies, along with practical, hands-on experience through programming. I’m tired of feeling like I have to constantly relearn things.

Apart from providing additional examples of what makes a good card, is there anything else you would recommend to me?

Thanks!

[KevinLopezMD]

Awesome video! What are your Anki settings? Are there any specific settings that you recommend?

[Ghazamoh]

I start using anki but i do 100 cards for the lecture it is big amout but the lecture is important what is the average amount of cards that i should do for each lecture?

[jamiedaeon]

Not all people are doing well with visual memory made by anki and this concept of cars accumulated every day, that can be disturbing to somepeople, for me i think my studies re much better without anki
But this doesn't mean that it's not good. I just mean that it didn't work with me
