![]() Losing retrieval strength ≠ losing storage strength.įor example, you’ve changed your phone number after using the old one for years. My point is, just because you temporarily couldn’t retrieve the information doesn’t mean you have to re-learn it, treating it like you’ve not learned it at all because that piece of memory is still in your long-term memory. “Once information is interrelated with prior knowledge in long-term memory, it tends to remain stored, if not necessarily accessible.” when you were most alert maybe you could have answered it if you’d just racked your brains a little harder.įrom “ Self-Regulated Learning: Beliefs, Techniques, and Illusions“: So you may be tired after doing Anki for 4 hours and that body state will negatively affect your ability to retrieve the answer maybe you could have answered that card at 10 a.m. Contextual cues, including environmental, mood state, body state cues etc, will influence the accessibility of a memory representation. There are a lot of factors affecting your retrieval strength, i.e., recalling the correct answer. I discovered this brutal New Interval setting only after 4 years of using Anki. If you then fail it ONCE (pressed ‘Again’), Anki would banish the card back to square one. In the default Anki setting, if you get a card wrong, the New Interval for lapses would render it new again, like you’ve never seen or learned that card.įor example, you have answered a card correctly (pressed ‘Easy’) for 10 times over 3 years. If the card had a 100 day interval, the default of 0% would reduce the interval to 0 Compared to how I was doing before I started using Zanki, I'm really pleased with how well it works.New interval controls how much Anki should reduce the previous interval by. I exclusively use these decks, Sketchy, Pathoma, etc to study for the faculty written tests, and even though there is stuff on those tests I'm not as well prepared for (the ~10% not in Zanki), I consistently score one standard deviation above the mean. I think that engagement with the material is REALLY important. they covered a lot of the bone and endo in our renal block in relation to kidney failure, so I had to go to those decks to get that material).īottom line for me is I don't make new cards from lecture, but I do edit/addend existing cards. Since use a systems based curriculum, it actually works out pretty nicely with the subdeck architecture of Zanki (though there is some crossover - e.g. I have found the decks I use (Zanki+BG addon+Pharm+lolMicro) covers 80-90% of what my school teaches. For me, these settings feel like a cheat code for med school - stupid little factoids just kind of stick in my brain. In terms of lapses, I've not dealt with too many lapses. It ends up averaging 600-900 cards/day, depending on the new cards that I unsuspended. With this approach, I see myself spending 3-5 hours total on Anki everyday. Ends up being between 200-350 cards not related to what we are currently learning.įor the content we are currently learning in the curriculum, I typically see anywhere between 80-200 new cards a day (yes, those days that have 200 new cards are rough). I usually spend about an hour of reviews not related to the current curriculum content (we have a systems-based curriculum). I've matured 50% of Zanki and 90% of Lolnotacop's deck. I started Zanki halfway through MS1, and Lolnotacop's deck at the end of MS1. I am very committed to getting reviews done everyday. When we are presented with new material in lecture (or I watch pathoma/sketchy), I un-suspend those related cards. Max reviews/day: 9000 (which I understand to be the max)Įverything starts suspended. Per day: 9000, which I understand as the max (I un-suspend based on what happens in lecture that day/after I watch a Sketchy or Pathoma video) YelloW General Surgery ABSITE Review Deck For a full list please see all decks here.ĭubin + Rhythm Strips + Hoop!'s Radiology AnKing Overhaul (Cheesy Dorian + Zanki CK)Ī few residency decks are highlighted below.Physeo (Official Physeo from their website).Demeter Deck: an Anking-level deck for OMM Pixy Sugar (Pixorize, Missing Immunology) (Pixorize).WolffParkinsonBrown's FA 2020 Rapid Review.Dope Basic Science, Clinical, & Anatomy.Clinical Submissions Only Getting StartedĪ offers comprehensive, update-to-date guides, videos, and personalized help for everything related to Anki.
