Med School Anki: Combining the Strongest Evidence-Based Learning Techniques.However, Anki can help you reinforce things you’ve already learned and understood. Memorize random facts, and you won’t magically apply key concepts on an exam. In other words, even the best tool in the world will fail unless you use it effectively. So how can Anki be so effective in some cases, but so awful in others? As an amusing attending once noted: “it’s the wizard, not the wand.” When faced with real patients, their buzzword knowledge will fail them. Often, students cramming details will find limited success on Boards and in the Match. Or maybe they cram details from Zanki, Brosencephalon, or other pre-made decks. They’re buried under a mountain of mindless flashcards, some of which they made. Instead of Anki improving their understanding, they are stuck memorizing tedium. As a resident at Harvard-MGH, my ability to help actual patients improved dramatically.īut for every story like mine, there are dozens of students who never use Anki effectively. I scored 270 on the USMLE Step 1 and received honors on all my 3rd-year shelf exams. I can still remember (and use) the majority of things I’ve made into cards since my first year at Stanford. There is a good reason: spaced repetition helps you remember anything, forever. Next, select “Show New Cards in Random Order” to make the cards show up in a random order.Most students will have tried Anki in med school. To further make the cards random, go to the Options menu: Now you can review all of the cards in a random order.
If you were successful, all of the cards should be in a single deck, and there should be no cards in any of the sub-decks. Select “Yousmle Step 1 Deck” or whatever deck you would like to transfer the cards into.Hit “Change Deck” at the top of the window.Highlight the Yousmle Step 1 Deck (or whichever deck you want to make the cards into a single deck) on the left side-bar, and highlight all of the cards by hitting Ctrl + A (PCs) or Command + A (Macs).Select “Browse” at the top of the Decks menu.
This is straightforward to do, although note that it essentially a one-way street, and putting the cards back into the individual sub-decks is much less straightforward. In order to study all subjects on random, you have to simply take the cards out of the sub-decks, and put them into one large deck. However, by creating sub-decks, students could then study individual subjects, but this also meant that there was no straightforward way to allow students to study all subjects on random. Originally, this was not possible, since all of the cards were in one single deck, and not divided by subjects. I created sub-decks for the Yousmle Anki cards, so that students could study individual subjects – many students had asked to be able to study only cardiology questions, for example. In other words, how can you do the Yousmle Anki cards on random, rather than doing them by system? Unfortunately, I know of no simple way to do this with Anki, however, there is a solution. What is the difference between it and the cards in the systems and how do I get it to display an array of questions from all the systems? Is there anyway that I can get questions from all the systems at one time? I have a deck that is titled ‘yousmle step 1 deck’ and when you click on it, it has cards and has the individual systems listed below it. Here’s a variation of a question I receive often:
