can this be done on anki mobile apps ??

Hi Is Anki useful tool for electrical engineering? Or is it only useful for medical school?

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!

[@mystelwinters1942]

This is amazing. I just downloaded Anki and was a little overwhelmed with the less-intuitive interface. I love how you explained the various functions and features of Anki! Will definitely be using in the future :)

[@Notthetylor]

Please let me know. Is Anki method is working and useful?

[@ragulmrnr]

For those wondering about 3.18 in Mac, the way to do it is to press (control, command,shift,4 ) in sequence or simultaneously. Wonderful video mate!

[@chemdaddy602]

After doing the screen shot, how does he quickly put into Anki? I'm currently needing to drag and drop into the extra bar

[@hobinchun7914]

Me too, he didn't explain that part

[@hobinchun7914]

Let me know if you figure it out!

[@chemdaddy602]

Shift + Control +Command 4 will give Copy in the clip board. and then you paste with Command+V

[@m.r.p5674]

There might be a better way, but I used windows snipping tool. Check youtube for videos on that. Should come with your computer so no need to install anything I think.

Just wanted to say thank you! I perfected my Marine Science exam due to your channel and Anki. I probably would've passed even without your influence but you taught me a greater lesson. The mere fact that I could strive for more and subsequently achieve more is a lesson I'll carry with me through my life :)

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.

"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

[@fmmmf884]

All your videos are super helpful man. Please continue to produce great content, it's inspiring and motivates me to study harder!

[@folasko5120]

Anki saves my life in med school. I discovered it before I got into medschool and it makes my life easier. I highly recommend it.

[@folasko5120]

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.

[@SynThenergy]

This is amazing! I'm studying for optometry school boards and I recently stumbled on Anki and I love that you're showing the ropes for such a useful program. Thank you for your hard work.

[@gab7197]

I’m definitely going to try this for my next exam!! This is a great idea why have I never heard of it 😅

[@SoarseX]

I use Anki to improve my English reading comprehension and to help me to not forget how to solve math expressions.

[@mnmcos]

I think you just saved my life for my next semester!!! And I still have 9 classes next semester so something like this will help me a lot! Thanks for the help!

[@iluvsyphonfilter]

Very cool , I only used the basic cards for years , I will try the other ones , thanks for the video !

[@anozaa9435]

This was amazingly helpful, very straightforward and cut through the point, keep up the good work 🙏

[@lazaruscardoza8023]

Good job on explaining the most important and useful cards. THANK-YOU

[@NORELY81]

THANKS! AWESOME , STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. Can you do a tutorial for the 10 question feature and for image occlusion? I use image occlusion but I don't know how to modify a card once I've created the deck. I have to delete the whole deck and make a new one.

[@RohanKayani]

Pro Tip: At 3:18 he quickly inserted the image. To do this first press "Shift"+"Command"+"Control"+"4". Using the on-screen tool cut out the image required. Then go to the ANKI box where you want to insert image and press "Command"+"V". P.S + means to press the buttons together.

[@sskpe500]

Great video, thank you for sharing. Please consider using the Image Occlusion Enhanced V1.0 that was just issued November 2016.The Enhanced version is much better than the original version and the new programmer has made some very good tutorial videos.

[@dr.eseosaighodaromdphd8662]

I love Anki! I discovered it when I was a 3rd Med student studying for step 2 and now I still continue to use it in residency!

[@thebipedCentaur]

Hi! I am currently in 3rd year and just discovered anki! How were your initial days of starting with Anki. I'm getting pretty confused rn even after watching tutorials. Its like I can't decide among the so many options. Does it look familiar or would you advise something?

[@ivo3185]

Thank you so much! I'm going to start using Anki thanks to this video. It looks like a game changer.

[@PhyllisChanBlackTie]

Hey Medschool Insiders - been loving your videos. I have a tendency to make too many flash cards, or more specifically I spend a lot of time making them and rarely ever get through all of them. Would you have any advice on that?

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.

Interesting! I use Anki to practice Russian and French language. I never knew of it's application in the area of science. It's a fantastic program despite taking some time to figure out how to use. The Android app is really fantastic for practicing on the go. Unfortunately iPhone users have to pay for the app.

Click on the deck to revise it. If you did it already(and choose easy/med), it will say "no cards left for today". You can still redo it. Or see when the cards will pop up next in the 'browse' section I think.

Can someone explain Cloze deletion to me? It doesn't seem very useful as you can see all the answers. For example...in his he had atherosclerosis in __________________ --> narrow lumen. Then the next card was athlerosclerosis in epicardial coronary arteries --> ________________. The second card seems worthless because you already saw the answer ("narrrow lumen") in the first card. I feel like I'm missing something here.....

[@mattwhitelock4725]

Are Cloze deletion cards really more effective than standard question on front, answer on back cards? I'm doing A level biology/chem/physics/maths (in UK) and using Anki for them, so not sure if that affects it. My cards tend to just be like an exam questions, where they say "describe _____" or "explain _____" or "define _____" and then the answer on the back. I don't type notes so it seems like Cloze cards would take longer to make, and it seems like it wouldn't prepare me as much for the exams as most of the questions are describe/explain/whatever, rather than being fill in the blanks types. Not sure what the benefits of Cloze cards are?

[@kjmd]

Hey, thanks for the video, I tried using Anki in first sem but I struggled with my time management. 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? Thanks in advance!

[@mmt1575]

Why would you need to make notes if you have such detailed flashcards 🤔
