    Kevin, we work with a lot of students studying for the MCAT and we always encourage them to use flashcards. Often times, when they are interested in using Anki, we refer them to your video tutorials about them. Your videos have helped them learn the ins and outs of Anki and how to benefit from them. Thanks for providing such great advice!

    I just want to say thank you!
    Last year I started to prepare for the admission test for studying medicine in Austria. Thanks to your videos I learned about Anki and how to use it properly. With using this tool, I ended up being in the 98% percentile. I never would have thought, that this would be possible.
    So again: Thank you so much! You are a big part of making my dream to be a doctor come true!

I am having Chemistry exam on Monday and I am using Anki to learn...Thank you. I got introduced to Anki after watching med school insiders

    2:10 cloze deletion cards
    shift + command + c
    2:30 3:00 fill in mult. blanks on 1 card
    3:55 annotate imgs 4:40
    4:50 cloze mostly (better & quicker to make)
    10 Q's for anything img based/table

    -----------------------------
    Damn it! I spent more than 8 hours a day for the last 14 or more days transferring notes from my temporary notepad to Anki Notes' Basic Card.
    I have cleared all the backlog but now I about 855 cards in Basic type.
    No worries future cards will be Cloze.

I have literally been told that our cancelled OSPE exam is now being replaced with a brand new, out of the blue anatomy exam (been told just over a month before the exam, typical of my uni) So I've got a slim chance with this amazing Anki tutorial to not faff around and try my best to cram in as much anatomy during COVID! Thank you, SO much!

    "Cloze" cards are no longer showing the "extra" or display images when added. In order to solve this please follow these steps:
    in an empty cloze card, add a new field and name it "extra"
    close the card and go to the main anki window and go to "tools"
    select "manage note types
    "
    select "cloze
    "
    select "choose cards
    "
    at the bottom center choose "add field"
    change field from "text to extra"
    change "add to": from "front to back"
    Press ok and try and see if works

      Also the art of using tags helps tremendously. You can live off it with just a single deck. Ex: genpath_Bloodvessels
      Clinpath_transfusionmedicin
      Just copy and paste it from the deck description that you have made and into custom study session if you want to study a specific topic. I'm telling you, anki is boss.

    The way I'm using Anki.....
    1. Screenshot: Win+Shift+S:
    2. Switch to Anki: Alt+Tab (If same desktop) Win+Ctrl+Left or Right Arrow (If different virtual desktop)
    3. Add flash card: Nothing to do once it open
    4. Invoke Image Occlusion Enhanced: Ctrl + Shift + O
    5. Draw rectangles
    5.1 Select All: Press 'A'
    5.2 Group All: Press 'G'
    6. Adding additional info (IF ANY): Alt + F
    7a. Hide All Reveal One: Ctrl+Return
    7b. Hide One Reveal All: Ctrl+Shift+Return
    8. Switch to Source: Alt+Tab (If same desktop) Win+Ctrl+Left or Right Arrow (If different virtual desktop)
    REPEAT - REPEAT - REPEAT
    I added all of the steps in macro keys 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 So its easy and within seconds flash card created.

Did you make these flash cards as you went along through each week for that particular week's worth of content, while also making notes from the lectures you had in the week or did you only do Anki flashcards and not make notes? And did you make flashcards for all your subjects, like Anatomy, Physiology etc? And how long did you spend making the flashcards for a particular week?

    I don’t understand why many high schoolers don’t use anki. It is so good since it is SRS and perfect for midterms so you don’t have to softly cry at 11pm studying for your midterm.

    What is the purpose of flashcards? Memorize concepts or understand them?

    Would you mind doing a video comparing anki to quizlet and your opinion of what is best? Also, how does anki present cards and track your mastery? Sorry if someone else already asked this question.

    I'm currently studying for the MCAT. Does anyone have any tips for a great strategy using Anki?
