starting in a month and preparing by watching these - they're so helpful and can't thank you enough!

Gunna use these Anki shortcuts 👊🏼

Lovinggg your videos! But quick question: I know you start studying your cards a week in advance, but when do you make all your cards?

[@themexicanpa]

Thank you for the support amiga! I primarily make the cards the weeks before! Typically we would have 2-3 weeks in between exams at my program.
I recommend consistently making cards during lecture if possible (which actually is really nice because you can add additional notes to your Anki cards within the “remarks” section in the image occlusion type card)
Another way to do this faster is to have other students help you! My best study pal Brian and I would divide and conquer our pharm lectures.
Lastly, sometimes I would even go ahead of the current academic week and make Anki cards for future lectures that had been posted (if the PowerPoint is understandable on its own)
Ultimately the image occlusion tool is meant to be the fastest way imho to create flash cards (around 2-3 cards per minute per slide-and it gets even faster the more you do it! )
I hope that makes sense!

Sketchy is so expensive how did you balance that and PA school? So do you get the PA one specific or the pharm subscription?

[@themexicanpa]

I actually split the cost with some classmates and shared an account. We got the PA one specifically and would mainly watch it one or two days before an exam to solidfy any confusing concepts. For example, with pharmacology I really struggled to remember all of the different diabetes medications. The day before the exam I watch the sketchy pharm videos on those topics and it helped tremendously.
