Even i am not medical student , I like the app you introduced to me a few year a go. I'm trying to study Fundmental of engineering license in america. As a foreigner , it`s not gonnabe easy but yeah i love to study by Anki, THank you for the update of new setting for Anki.

[@Noah.Hanson]

Instead of the forget function, I use the Anking’s “difficult cards deck” method which uses a filtered deck to select cards whose ease is low suggesting you are getting them wrong a lot. Same idea though, it’s good to make sure you know what ideas you aren’t getting.

[@BigDawgCAM]

How do you feel about the "Straight Reward" add-on? Usually if my ease gets low, this corrects it for me without having to worry about it

[@michaelmazarei]

What is the "difficult cards deck" method?

[@MichaelWen-p1x]

Hi,Zach.I suggest you upgrade these very valuable Anki medical usage to compile into a book .It would be a must for every medical students like the First Aid .

[@thehiracode]

Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos about anki!! I started using it this year because of you and its truly been life changing. Excited to hear what you say in this video :)

[@ZachHighley]

Let me know what you think!

[@thehiracode]

​@@ZachHighley Amazing advice! The point about using the 'forget cards' option is new to me and seems especially useful. Anki is definitely a confusing software at first so it's really helpful that there are videos like yours out there to help!

[@harryssweets8010]

Just started using anki today!

[@Mariam.4445]

I mean, I KNOW THIS WORKS, because my highest marks came from questions and answers, but the problem is I only make them the night before the exam and revise with them at school, even if I make them with anki, it only takes 2 days for me to completely forget abt them, oh and I can't find decks for my school's materials, so I have to make 'em all by myself

[@anitarora1854]

I would love to have a teacher like you in my school 💙

[@claudettea]

Is this course for Mac users? Because I'm a Windows user and functions would be different on different operating system.

[@isadas4416]

Can you make a video about concentration, how to increase concentration or focus, you're video help me in my study , Thank you for that 😊

[@ZachHighley]

On it

[@ravi.jangra]

Cut the distractions. If you procrastinate, then learn about this thing called "learned helplessness". To increase concentration you have to either love what you're doing or studying or be highly curious about it. To get rid of brain chatter, use a dairy to write down them thoughts that are bugging you. Also, there is an app called "forest". You can use that as well. Have a great day!

[@thatoneuser8600]

Honestly the only thing that helped me increase my focus is by avoiding dopamine overstimulation, such as avoiding overstimulating music, social media, IP, junk food, etc. That way, the only dopamine I get is from studying and becoming a better version of myself. Also, make sure you take mental breaks when you need to by doing what neuroscientists call "downtime", which is partaking in an activity that requires little to no concentration to the point where your mind starts wandering. An example of such activity is just staring at a wall. Downtime has been shown to increase focus and productivity as well as learning retention, as it uses the default mode network (DMN) of your brain to process what you've just learned in the background, whereas if you were to take a mental break by scrolling through social media, you wouldn't truly be giving your brain a break from processing as there's a lot of novel information on social media that your brain will process. Downtime also increases creativity, which is where Archimedes' famous "Eureka!" moment came from, as his mind was wandering while stepping into a bathtub. The DMN is much faster than the executive function of your brain, which is why you'll almost always make faster and better connections between different topics when your mind is wandering than when you are focused on a specific thing. Hope this helps.

[@renatoparischewsky]

You know i'm gonna start my last year in college (17 yo btw) and I want to make things just right because at the end of the year we all have an exam which score is used for ranked each student + other factors they score to universities accept the best studients (this is in Chile), and normally people in this years pays to enter a prep course but for my I think is not necessary and just a waste of money if you know how to properly study. So I want to be efficient and prepare for what the future holds and anki is a tool I heavily want to master and use for this and also I'm looking to self teach me german so i can opt for an exchange and study maybe a year chemical engineer outside. That being said thanks for this vids and your channel has been one (apart from anki) one that i've ended up many times I never really comment ever but hey just wanted you to know hope you do well in life :)

[@RuntaBRkot]

I used anki for a year for my "college" and entered in production engineer. Should I keep using it to learn Calculus, linear algebra and physics or you think its pretty much useless? And how should I study math/physics with anki? Mainly cards of questions that I got wrong?

[@quotient9974]

You can’t really use flash cards to study for math / physics. You need to work through examples and practice questions

[@PPV0077]

I mean you could use anki to revise equations for both math and physics

It seems that AnkiPro (2.1) on my Mac mini 1 is not compatible (will not sync) with my Anki app on my iPad Pro, nor with anki web. The iPad anki app is compatable (will sync) with the web version. So the choice is if I use the iPad app, then I don’t need the desktop 2.1 version because they are not compatible (will not sync). 🤷🏼‍♂️ (or am I wrong?)
