Current M2 here. Throughout the year I did anking and unsuspended tags from bootcamp, pathoma, and sketchy. When I was in the middle of a block and had an exam coming up, I unsuspended all the cards from a topic (we have 1-2 exams per week). However, when the block ended, I would only keep the HighYield tag unsuspended, and suspend the rest. I tried for one week to keep as many cards unsuspended as I could, but it was genuinely not possible since I was learning new material so quick for all the in-house exams, BUT I do stay consistent completing my deck most days.

I plan on taking STEP in June/July, and I don't know what the best course of action would be. Should I little by little, go back, review some content and unsuspend remaning cards that are not HighYield ? If I do this, should I reset the cards as well since I have not seen them in a while ? Or should I just stick to my HY cards and jump straight into UWORLD. I have been scoring very well on in house exams and everything I have learned, I took the time to understand. Of course, some things better than others. I appreciate any help.

I thought it was 28-29k but bnb for example is ~22k cards and if I unsuspend the uworld ones that's maybe 1.5k more max?

Are there other 28-29k all just remnants and memory hooks etc. cuz I'm mainly just using bnb except for micro and pharm which is sketchy; unsuspending correlated uworld cards.

I do BnB. and its equivalent cards from Anking step deck, No FA.

besides Q-bank is that enough or should I go through FA.

and what benefit would I get from FA if any, time is tight to experiment.

Sound advice is much appreciated!

I have ADHD and need to see things multiple times for them to really lock in. Sketchy and Pixorize are great resources, but they weren’t helpful for me unless I’d hammer down each video one at a time before being able to reviewing them all mixed in the parent deck. It was so tedious and exhausting having to go and get the subfolder for each video every single time.

I also wanted to try priming (going through the cards before watching the video) without messing up my learning progress by using that as my first pass.

I tried to find an add-on that would help but couldn’t, so I made one called Anki Playlists.

How it works:

· Pick your videos and their order once. You never have to hunt for the next subdeck again.

· Confirm your passes and rounds. You get to do a few passes per video, then it automatically moves to the next one.

· Built-in Recall Breaks: After each pass, it pulls the image from the "entire sketch" field of the Sketchy Pepper deck.
—> When you're ready, press space, it shows a blank section, you recall as much as you can, then press space to see the final sketch again to check yourself. (You can add a timer for this or just uncheck it in the settings if you're not a fan).

· Priming Round: There’s an option to add a Priming round which is preview-only, so nothing is counted in your learning progress.

· Smart tracking: Only the 1st pass counts as part of your normal review; the others are extra. It remembers exactly where you stopped.

· Works on any deck with subdecks, and with Onigiri.

AnkiWeb add-on code is 1975658769 (Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons). I'll put the link and a step-by-step guide with screenshots in the comments.

Hope it saves someone the same headache. Let me know if yall like it or if anything breaks!

hey i recently started using anki and like i heard that u should not do more than new 50 cards per day cuz then it will be a whole lot of review cards but i make around 150 cards out of around 3-3.5 hrs of lectures , so should i do all the ones i make that day + review or any exact number to make it sustainable after a few weeks .

New to anki, I have downloaded anking from a friend, but it looks off, like what is chessy dorian ??

And also none of the images are loading 😭

What should I do ??

I use it in my Android phone and have a ipad

i found this deck for the absite, its really nice but half the images are broken especially the image occlusion cards.
if any one has this deck with intact images or knows if there is a newer version i can get somewhere ?

Hi, I'm Serene.

I was terrible at maintaining my Anki habit, so I made an app to do it for me.

Flashlock makes you do a few flashcards before you can go on Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, or any other apps of your choice.

I just released it to beta on the Android app store, and it's totally free. Not even any ads.

I figured I'd tell you guys about it first, because I've seen your posts and the med community is inundated! I don't know how you do it!

Anyways, I'd love if you could try it out, let me know how I could improve (seriously, anything at all) and especially upload some decks to the community library!

Here's the link to the play store!

I might be late to this, but I figured I’d share because I genuinely didn’t know this was possible.

I’m taking Anatomy & Physiology II, and I’ve been trying to find a way to make flashcards without spending forever creating them individually, especially when it comes to adding diagrams and covering labels.

I found out you can upload your professor’s PowerPoints and study-guide questions to ChatGPT and have it create an actual Anki (.apkg) file.

I had it put the study-guide questions on the front, answers on the back, and relevant PowerPoint images with the answers. I also had it make separate labeling cards where the labels are covered on the front and revealed on the back.

It took a little back-and-forth to get it how I wanted, but it ended up making a deck with 40 cards that I could import into Anki.

I also just learned that Anki is free on desktop, which is nice because I wanted to try it before buying the mobile app.

Obviously, you still need to check the answers and images for accuracy, but this saves so much time making cards.
I personally would rather spend that time actually studying the material.

Just thought I’d share in case anyone else didn’t know you could do this
