ANKI FOR BEGINNERS 🤓☝️ How to learn faster and remember more!

Hiiiiiiiii friends, my deepest apologies for posting a whopping 2 weeks late but I am currently in the trenches of exam season and things are getting pretty hectic over here (╯•﹏•╰)
You guys probably know by now that I am an Anki girl. It's my main study method and has gotten me through my undergraduate Physiology and Pharmacology degree and through med school (so far). A bunch of you have asked for an Anki tutorial and since me and Anki are together 24/7 now for exams, I thought that it would be a good time to show y'all how Anki works and how I personally customize mine :)
**Remember that this is just how I use Anki. It works best when you customize the app to your specific learning habits and goals so be sure to tweak things around as needed. I am by no means an Anki expert, just an enthusiast who has been using it for years. I've linked the vids to the actual Anki experts below.
Love y'all, see you in the next video!! Filming my real time study with me vid in a few days ;)

Hi Sab!! Im on my 3rd year of premed and I’m planning to take a gap year before med school but I’m still really unsure about it. I was hoping you could make a video talking about your med school journey (like how you got into med school, what was your college experience, etc). I find your channel really authentic and inspirational :)) I can tell you work really hard on these vids so thank you!!! 🫶🏼

[@eleanor5058]

Sab gurl i love your vids, sending lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@cheese-bg1xq]

Anki is such an absolute god-send. I've spent school and college slowly improving my study habits. Ended up being a mostly-B student in college (after being a C one in GCSE, and borderline "special" in primary). You know how hard science in general is? What about when you've completely screwed up your chance to learn the foundations properly so you have to learn them AND the higher-level stuff at the same time? So yeah, I'm proud of being a B student! Still use it in "studying" as a hobby. Better than spending all day on Netflix, and I really enjoy learning new things.

[@Yenty8]

Thank you for this tutorial!! ❤

[@fromsabyang]

You are so welcome!

[@ella3794]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was wondering if you could show your settings for each of the cards visuals (black box surrounding question and grey box surrounding answer)?

I love your videos ♥

Hi Sab! I just discovered your video and I love it! Question, what settings did you use to customize the view of your flashcards? I love the esthetics of them! ❤

Great video for beginners really. Thanks.

Thank you so so much❤❤❤

[@misia5814]

Very helpful!!

[@shel2874]

I loved your video!!! my problem with Anki is that I only memorize the card and am not really understanding the fact/information. Do you have any tips on that and do you use Anki only for revision or do you also use it for actually learning the material for the first time?😅😊😊

[@jay5t]

Best of luck everyone with your finals!!!

[@dlasison2267]

hi, can you share how did you got the anki design on your MAIN anki one pls with the box. Love you vids!

[@deepouterspace]

I want to make an Anki flashcard with Sab's photo to contemplate her with spaced repetitions! ❤‍🔥

[@briannguyen4731]

Glad I came across this video. Do you have a good digestive system Anki deck for a nutrition undergrad major? New to Anki and it’s a bit of a little curve.

[@Yash_chy]

This is amazing, the app makes study easy . Love from Nepal ❤.

[@Rahmarahmarahmarah]

Thank you ❤

[@shinba1025]

Thank you for the very nice video. I am a viewer from Japan. I have a question. Your Anki screen is customised, the text is white and the background of the questions is black, It's so cute!! how is it customised? I would like to know if you are using any special add-ons.

[@msaad2159]

Thank you for this!! So helpful question tho how do I get my questions to look like that when reviewing? Mine blends with the background and its hard to see

[@eudrickbote1971]

Hi Sab! Do you also take notes in class and use that for all your anki cards or do you just listen in class and make anki cards from all the other resources your professors use/give like ppts/textbooks? If you do take notes, I would love to see how you take notes in class and how you use that to make anki cards :) this video is great btw!!! Would appreciate your help!

[@AaronHatem]

Amazing...

[@ray382vk]

Thank you lovely

[@giorgiagallone2940]

Hi very useful video but I wanted to ask, does the app for iOS have the same feature?? I’m not sure weather to buy it or not

[@wendyekpiken9567]

Guilty 😂 This app will help me a lot

[@stewtech]

How do you stay on 1 card? I like to flip back and forth until I memorize it and then move on.

[@natashadeshpande4207]

hey how do you have such big fonts on your Anki. If you can tell which add on you used or setting changes that has to be done

[@periteu]

YOU SMART

[@maggieaudelle5400]

Do you mainly get remade cards or do you find it better to make your own cards? I’m trying to get into using anti for my language learning! 🎉

[@fromsabyang]

I personally recommend doing pre-made cards, especially for something like language learning where there are plenty of established decks to choose from :) Gives you more time to learn and less time spent making the cards yourself

[@LaylaPls]

such a slay video thank you! got it working perfectly on my laptop, but I wanted to sync it to my ipad and it's asking me to pay $40 AUD for the mobile app..? is there a way around this? :(

[@JT-rj3vd]

hello! What's the difference between a subdeck and a filtered deck? Couldnt you just press on the Female Physiology subdeck and that would allow you to study it on its own?

[@money011ot]

Hi! great video couple questions as an incoming med student. 1. when you make the filtered deck......why didn't you unselect "reschedule cards based on my answers in this deck".....asking because I thought if you didn't want your filtered deck answers to effect your Anki algorithm that you would have to unselect this? I thought the purpose was more so just to hammer in that specific info without scheduling the cards to the normal basic algorithm in the event of a test on the horizon ect. 2. Why would you set your max interval to 100 years (36500 days).....I thought for a class like physiology ect you would make the topics have an interval of maybe 21 days? so that you can study and see all the cards more than once in the sundeck prior to the test date 3. Do you use the FSRS new algorithm? if so what changes have you made to your settings P.S.....sorry if im ignorant in my understanding as I want to understand these concepts well before day 1 of lecture lol Thanks!

[@Wireless-Darwin]

I want the “little circle” to be twice as big.

[@user-qc4bv2dt3b]

hi, your video is amazing, i have a question when I finished studying the cards, the cards disappeared it says that "If you wish to study outside of the regular schedule, you can use the ⁨custom study⁩ feature."

[@fromsabyang]

that means you're done studying for the day! it automatically schedules your cards for spaced repetition so you've finished your cards for the day :)

[@NewJerseyTico]

@5:05 nice, ty!

[@lizeanazabote4267]

How you get to use anki on ipad? I've been struggling with that and can't find a way

[@laila2621]

does anyone know how to fix this issue I have the image occlusion. Whenever I try hiding the words, when i preview it, the box is shifted so it doesn't hide them completely.

[@JT-rj3vd]

do we have to manually tag each card?

[@jenhernandez818]

Do you know how to transfer a presentation or word doc to anki?

[@cheese-bg1xq]

7:04 I don't understand why you had to create a filtered deck, instead of just doing the sub-deck that you already went onto? Edit: Huh ok, I get the point for tagging cards as hard then setting up a deck to focus on them, that's useful!
