One mistake that I have done with flashcards is that making the cards too lengthy. Flashcard should be short and precise. I made each and every flash card containing 3-4 huge paragraphs which resulted in spending more than 8-9 minutes on a single card. Reviewing other cards become near to impossible as I did not have that much amount of time left to review others. This resulted in stacking of cards as they were added at such a rate where covering of old cards was not possible. So I really recommend that your cards should not be more than 2-3 lines. Luckily I was able to remember most of the cards as I used various memorization techniques such as Acronyms, Mind maps and Stories. But my most of my time was spent reviewing the cards and not learning new stuff and gradually I started falling back.

[@TheHeadincharge]

Generally the answer to your flashcards should only be a senctence or two max. Any longer and you're going to be taxing yourself if you're attempting to remember it closely. Longer form flashcards can have a use if done with purpose though. For example, you can use flashcards to ask concept based questions that require you to link a bunch of information together and use "black page retrieval" where you write down all of the info you can remember, then go back to your notes and fill in any details. This is of course time consuming and should be done only on important higher level concepts AFTER you've understood those concepts. That's also another major major point in this that I feel Cajun Koi didn't emphasize enough (still amazing content here though!), which is the importance of understanding the material before you ever begin writing a flashcard, along with the benefit that writing a good flashcard itself provides. This is a huge problem I see in newer college students who just start making flashcards on their notes without actually taking the time to understand the notes they've taken. Even worse, some students will just find flashcards online, defeating much of the benefit that you get from making the flashcards and thinking through the material. Of course, the better you get at learning and digesting material, the quicker you will understand new material. That is especially true in Med School where the concepts themselves are not extremely difficult for them to understand since they're all built off of the basic understandings they've already learned, there's just A LOT of concepts they throw at you. If you're younger and your class doesn't require strict memorization, focus more on the understanding, then create flashcards only for the concepts you think are most difficult or important.

[@kimjeonteakook1430]

Do you have any recommendations for flash card apps?

[@我要医太温]

thank you for your advice

[@KoiAcademy]

This is really good advice! Your cards should only have relevant important information in as easy language as possible. 2-3 lines are as you said more than enough.

[@preetibadsiwal9476]

Oh oh

[@chlol5385]

REMEMBER TO DO THE FLASHCARD IN THE SECOND STAGE OF STUDY!!! this is my step of 1st stage- read+understand the lecture (know which part is important- I often use a small amount of time to do it cause I want to study effectively)? 2nd stage- make the flashcard (1-2weeks before your test or exam, if you struggle to study- do it as early as possible) 3rd stage- learn from the flashcard- active recall 4th stage- review the flashcard- see whether the answers need to be edited or simplified Make sure the flashcard answer is short! not a whole ass sentence If you don't even understand what you are putting inside the flashcard there is no point in doing it, so understand the content before starting The key: Start early!! + Take your time to study effectively!

[@TheHeadincharge]

Another step that you can add, depending on the course, is connection-based question cards that rely on active use of the material rather than cued recall. For example, you can create a card asking you to come up with a hypothetical example of some concept and connect it to some other concept, then use blank page retrieval to formulate your answer. In the answer to your card, provide a link to your relevant notes for you to look back at and add in any extra details you may have missed. This is a great way of studying for tests that rely more on concepts and integration/differentiation between concepts rather than on defitions. If you're able to come up with clear and concise answers to those questions, then you will definitely understand the material as a whole. You don't even need flashcards to use this strategy, however it can be nice to break up the monotiny of the quick flashcards to really delve into the concepts for a bit.

[@grumpykitten4688]

so before doing the flash cards would you say make condensed straight to the point notes and then do flash cards?

[@chlol5385]

I only make notes during class- like note down what the prof said on the materials provided by them (lecture slides) so when I review the slides I can have an idea of which part I need to focus on. I did a lot of fancy note-taking back in high school and it didn't help me at all, since I was doing passive learning all the time and I never reviewed back my notes ( it's kinda like copying and pasting the content of the slides to my notebook which feels like I spent a lot of time studying but indeed not), but flashcards are good ways for me to make the notes and learn at the same time since the repetition of recalling the information can help you to memorize and be familiar with the content. But at the same time, there are some heavy subjects that might require some clear and simple notes to structure all the content you need to learn In the end, everyone has their own studying methods, so it's like a trial and error test, it's also good to review back every academic semester to see how you can improve the efficiency of learning

[@Werisetilldeath]

​@@chlol5385 Why you dont make flashcards in the first stage instead? Is it how you revise for exams and tests? Flashcards only & practicing?

[@rebeccapatterson6203]

Love this video! I have always been a flash card person but I always felt like something was missing to my studying efficiency.

[@hyguruprep]

Great video! I am studying for my boards right now, and I have found that making flashcards in an iterative fashion is also of high-value. From question banks, I have a study session where I am 'brute force' putting images/words onto the flashcard. I am focusing on creating a specific question on the front and have the 'rough draft' of the answer/details on the back. After I am done with this input session, I go back and tweak the answers [another way to interact with the material], and try to add/delete or even combine. This may seem like an extra step, but it forces me to consolidate & relate the material yet again before I will add these flashcards to my daily review. Thanks for this video!

[@TheHeadincharge]

I've found this to also be true myself! The process of creating and tweaking the flashcards often felt more valuable than the studying of the flashcards themsleves. This actually makes a lot of sense in regards to what we know about memory reconsolidation where after you recall something, you have a brief period where the memory is able to be modified. By actively engaging in elaboritive rehearsal after recall, you are going to be strengthening the network as a whole, not just the one specific pathway from the flashcard. I also always recommend people always create their own flashcards if possible rather than use ones they find online. They can certainly be useful for certain subjects, especially language, but using a pre-built deck often skips the important step of understanding and connecting concepts.

Want would you recommend to someone who benefits from flashcards, but doesn’t have time to make so many because is in grad school (PT school)? I spend too much time preparing the flashcards, reviewing the material to then finally start study with flashcards (and hopefully review them before exam). Not enough time for all of that

[@KoiAcademy]

Anki, Quizlet and other flashcard apps have pre-made decks from other students that you can use! That would definitely help

before making flash cards have i grouped info is this important enough to memorize 80/20 rule most exam consists of 20 not 80. the 80 is details sometimes needs but other times not 1. simple and specific answer to card shouldn’t be long list. if it is…u did it wrong. 2. reference source material 3. add memory techniques (mnemonics image story acronym mind palace) 4. digital flash card is mobile study flash card 1. doesn’t matter how long u do it. just be consistent 2. pair flash cards with normal routine (eating, brushing teeth, exercise) 3. if flash cards is right 3 times move on if it is wrong 3 times (re-evaluate question and memory technique)

[@bayleyfurtado]

I had a question about the ultimate speed learning tutorial video, here it is. Quick question: so my school does not have a syllabus with key terms, we just get these reading booklets. For example, my introductory medical science class is given a booklet of information with no table of contents, index. (ie. we are on immune response right now) so how do I collect key terms in this situation to do layer 1? Should I just be skimming through and identifying terms I don't know? Also nothing is bolded or in italics..

[@madjiebimaa]

English is not my main language. When I take notes or create flashcards, do you recommend for me to use my main language or just parallel it with English so I can learn two things at a time?

[@KoiAcademy]

I personally recommend going with the language that will help you understand faster and better. If your main language is better at doing that than English, then choose the former.

Yes, technical subjects, languages, medicine, math, flashcards are used very widely. Keep in mind though that you don't want to use flashcards to *understand* things, but to memorize them.

[@TheHeadincharge]

It could be, but generally CS is much more project-based, although it depends on the program. It could still be useful to make yourself flashcards of unique syntax, functions etc... if only to decrease the time it would require searching for them.
