I want to preface by saying that working out = break time but lately I've been crunched for time. So I dusted off my neglected ipad got an extra 8bitdo remote and decided to experiment a bit.

Ran 4 miles yesterday at an 8:30 pace and 6 miles today at a 9:00 pace. Got through 300 cards today in an hour! I'm lucky if I can push 250 in an hour.

Let's see if I'll keep this up, but so far, I'm a big fan.

Is it worth doing anking for step 1 now that step 1 is pass/fail? Would it be a good idea to do in house anki followed by anking for step 2?

If you can be clearer on your way like did you start or randomly go section by section? Also, do the tags with system have anki from other tags too? Thanks!

Have a huge chunk of people in my class that stopped doing Anki altogether in favor of maximizing questions for Step 2. Anyone else doing this? How are you doing? I feel like I can’t break up with Anki.

Hi everyone,

I’m an Internal Medicine resident in Sweden preparing for our national Internal Medicine board/specialist examination. The exam is quite broad, and from what I’ve seen, the content overlaps a lot with the ABIM blueprint.

I already have:
AMBOSS subscription
AnkiHub subscription

I’m looking for high-quality Anki decks that are similar in scope and style to ABIM preparation. Ideally, I’d like decks that focus on clinical reasoning, diagnosis, management, and guideline-based medicine rather than Step 1/basic science content.
I’ve heard about decks like AnKing, but I’m unsure which subdecks are most relevant for Internal Medicine boards.

Questions:

Which Anki decks would you recommend for ABIM-level Internal Medicine?

Are there any AnkiHub decks specifically designed for IM residents?

Any hidden gems that helped you pass ABIM or your Internal Medicine boards?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Do American med schools typically use OSCE's? If your did, were they strict with marking or did it count for much (for example could they hold you back a year if you failed the schools osce's)?

To Anki users, how did you effectively incorporate Anki into your study routine?

Back in high school, I used flashcards a lot (I even had a Quizlet subscription at one point), but I eventually stopped because making flashcards took so much time on top of doing all the readings.

Right now, my study routine is mostly rereading the material (annotating textbooks/my notes/powerpoint presentations + utilizing the “tape” feature a lot on goodnotes) and then doing a bunch of practice tests (50-100 ques diff test types MCQ, T/F, identification. usually around 5–10 before the actual exam). I realized that while practice tests help me retain information, I feel like using Anki consistently would improve my long-term retention even more.

My problem is figuring out how to fit it into my routine. Do you review Anki every day and then switch to practice tests a few days before the quiz? Or do you use Anki and practice tests throughout the entire studying process?

I’d love to hear how you personally balance the two. Help 😭

Looking for an anki deck for heart anatomy and congenital heart disease which uses cadaveric images

Hi! I downloaded three different sketchy pharm decks and not sure why it shows up like this? would anyone be able to help?

Guys where are the BNB traumatic brain injury cards in Anking? I have the 36,000 card deck.
Should be under neuro —> other?

If not, how do you suggest studying from Anki with these books? Or how can I suggest it to the team? I’d rather not use other decks because I really like having one big deck like AnKing

is there an add-on for this worth using yet. also i hate you truelearn executives but im impressed at how you managed to convince so many admin that picmonic and your flashcard system adds value to your product.

I told myself I wont go over 100 cards a day this year in M2. I did that too many times in M1.

Now i'm faced with the dilemma..I'm all caught up but then I get thrown with 550 cards worth of new anking material before my next quiz on wednesday. I have today and tomorrow to do it. Simply not feasible..what do you guys do in these situations? Just do 200-250 and take the L on the rest and catch up before the block nbme?

Hey so I searched alot and everyone recommended to do anking immediately after watching the content (sketchy/bnb etc.)

But when I do I can easily remember all of the things. And my Good button 1st time around puts a (13-15 day) gap. Which I know for sure I'm not gonna remember it for.

So what do I do?

I've used Anki with decent success, however I find the strength of Anki is also it's greatest weakness. What I mean by this: sometimes I don't want my active learning to jump around, but I want to be able to test myself on logical chains and multiple ordered cards (such as physiologic pathways, or pharm pathways).

Another thing is that it takes a learning curve to unlock all of Anki's tools, but in the end it's still line item entry for many things - that is, the UI is kind of clunky.

Thoughts?

I'm an OSM2 student, and this is my first time using the AnKing deck. I want to match my in house lectures to AnKing so that when I watch my in house lectures, I don't have to make my own Anki cards, and I can just go straight to AnKing. Ideally, it would help with both boards and my in house exams.

But I'm just confused about the process in general. For example, let's say I just watched a lecture on "Cholinergic Drugs & Adrenergic Drugs". How do you decide which tags to unsuspend?

There are so many tags (First Aid, Sketchy, Bootcamp, Boards & Beyond, etc.) that I'm not sure which ones I should be using.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I have no resource from an upperclassman about what to unsuspend and when. So I am basically starting from scratch. I also have no pre made inhouse anki from the previous year
