- đŠ·đ§ Anki is an incredibly powerful tool! During my first year of dental school, I have experimented with multiple strategies to try and succeed. Anki is the very best of them. In this video, I talk about why Anki will help you get better grades. I also give you a step by step tutorial of how I make my flashcards. Im at least 85% sure this video alone will get you better grades!đ

Dude thank you so much, im a first year med student and this technique with anki is fool proof as long as you are consistent with making and studying cards everyday, you are most definitely going to ace the exams haha
This is FACTS! Im currently studying thousands of them for my second to last exam of my current semester. Thanks for your comment and best of luck with your studies!
Super informative video, just what I needed!! Currently studying for the DAT and it's about time that I learn how to use Anki. Thank you!!
Awesome!! Best of luck with your studies and if you need more help with getting started with Anki, check out this video! czcams.com/video/tufDp32VaTw/video.html Youâve got this!!
I start PA school soon so this will come in clutch. Thanks.
OMG!! this video is amazing. Thank you so much for the time you invested doing it. This is gonna be my new study method âïžGood luck on your journey through dental school.
Thank you so much for your comment!! Im glad the video was able to help you!! Best of luck with anki and if there is ever anything you'd like to see another tutorial on, let me know!
Stephen P. Ray Thank you so much!
Thank you for this helpful video! I am about to start studying for the DAT and wanted to learn how to use Anki to help!
Awesome!! My biggest regret looking back at the DAT was not using Anki! I really wish I had known about it back then. Definitely make cards like I do in this video for the bio section and then use image occlusion for organic. I can make a video about image occlusion if it would help you!
@@stephenraydentist Yes, that would be great! Thank you for the tip I will keep that in mind when studying!
This is amazing thank you!
Thank you so much for the comment!!
Thank you so much for this video! :) I was thinking of ways to study for biochemistry and i think ANKI will help a lot, especially with the image occlusion feature.
Youâre very welcome and thank you for your comment! Anki is great for biochemistry! The way I paired the two was to screenshot the pathways we were learning, like glycolysis for example, and using image occlusion to cover each enzyme and each molecule at every step. So I would have a card that showed glucose then a image occlusion box then glucose 6 phosphate. That would be asking me which enzyme stood between them which would be glucokinase/hexokinase.
@@stephenraydentist This will help so much! Youâve gained a new sub :))
@@alisinarahimi4587 thank you so much!! Iâm happy to have you here! Iâll talk a lot about Anki in this upcoming semester!
great video!! love your desk setup! what kind of monitor/mount do you use?
Thank you so much for the compliment!! Check out the video I made about my desk setup! I hope to make an update sometime this year, but this answers your questions! czcams.com/video/Nsb2_mLjsCc/video.html
I live by image occlusion. Its a life saver
No kidding my friend! Image occlusion saved me in anatomy
Getting ready for D1 this fall and learning different study techniques. Thank a lot!
Best of luck!! Plenty of new experiences coming for you so soon!
Hey stephen great video! I have heard of but never used Anki until recently after watching your videos. So far I've been enjoying them and finding them pretty effective. I was wondering, do you stick with the anki format where you study each deck once a day and more familiar cards start showing up less and less or do you do a custom deck type of studying where you just review cards multiple times whenever? (Ik its spaced out like that on purpose for spaced repetition, but was curious how you were using it to study given that you may have large quantity of cards/less time.
I tend to just study one test at a time. So I dump all my cards for one test into the same deck and then I chip away at that deck every day! That means the cards are completely jumbled up but I end up getting to all of them! Thanks for the comment and Iâm glad youâre liking Anki!!
Hi Stephen! just got into dental school and and using this now in my masters program! Its SOOOO powerful. still learning how to use it. i saw in another video that people in med school download huge deck sets for all topics. do you do this for dental school? or do you find making the cards from the lecture the best way to do it? Thank!
I make my cards for every lecture because our lecture topics are very specific and the test questions we get are very specific to the lectures! It really just depends on your school and how they do things!
Arent there qbanks in dental school?
How to attend to dental school ? And how to prepare ourselves for an examination into school?
czcams.com/video/ryTSvRoXwHY/video.html check out this video I talk all about going to dental school and how to make it! I also address the topic of preparing for the DAT!
how do you schedule your spaced repetition for the different subjects? do you study all of the lessons for each subjects in one day everyday?
Yes!! So because my exams are all integrated and we have all of our courses together on the same exams, I make one deck for each test and the cards are all randomly mixed together! So I just study them every day which means I get a mixture of the different courses each day!
Thanks for this video! i've been trying to find more effective ways to study and this video convinced me to try anki đ i noticed that your Powerpoints don't have any notes on them. When you listen to lecture, do you not take any notes?
Thank you for your comment, and Iâm so glad I could help!! I study a bit differently than others. Instead of taking time to write notes while reviewing powerpoints, I opt to just immediately make Anki cards for each bullet point as I show in this video. What the accomplishes for me is that it gives me really thorough flash cards to study. I find that taking notes while completing school online (pandemic) is kind of unnecessary for me. It makes more sense for me to spend my time making good cards and then reviewing them than writing notes. If a teacher says something important in a video lecture which does happen, Iâll make note of that, but this is my general workflow! Anki is amazing and itâs changed the way I do all of this for the better! I will continue to make videos and discuss my progress with Anki! Next semester Iâm taking gross anatomy which will be wild and Anki should be a big help so stay tuned! Good luck with everything!
@@stephenraydentist thanks for the thorough response! that is interesting. I subscribed to stay tuned!
@@feliciader559 thank you so much!! That means the world to me! Trying to build subscribers is tough but I think it will happen over time!
@@stephenraydentist this thorough response just made me sub. Love the thoughtfulness in your response and you shared some great information!
@@k.roberts5863 thank you my friend!! I hope to always be open and honest with yâall! I just canât express enough how excited and blessed I am that people actually want to continue watching my content! It pumps me up and makes me to want to continue working on this channel!
Are you sharing any of these decks on AnkiWeb or elsewhere?
Thanks for the comment! I havenât been because all my decks include material that is distributed by my school and is essentially protected against sharing online. Unfortunately that is the situation! Crazy though because I spend ages on them!
do you always make different versions of the same sentence from the presentation? I mean, you're writing a sentence and you're writing a question about the same thing, or you're just showing us different options for making ankies.
Excuse me I am a non English speaker who is using RemNote asa dental student too . I wonder when u make anki .Before,during , or after class(online or in classroom)?
Thanks for replying
Do you finish the whole 2000 cards in a single day? It takes so long for me to finish even 100 cards cause Iâm keep repeating the cards..
Absolutely not!! Realistically I'll study 400-500 cards a day and like 700-800 cards on the few days before a big exam because I'm spending all day studying!
What does frozen fields do, I don't get it?
Thanks for the question! Check out this video! czcams.com/video/Y2GQFezSU0s/video.html
How long does it take you to create a deck for an exam? How many cards are typical for an exam?
Nice, been using Anki for years but haven't heard of Frozen Fields. Will def save me from repetitively copy/pasting the slide into the extra field.
I usually make one deck for one exam and it just takes as long as the amount of lectures we have for that exam! Typically, weâll have multiple lectures for a single class over around a three week period so Iâll be making cards during that entire time. The number of cards depends completely on the class. It is usually around 50-150 per lecture. I have a bunch of Anki videos that are newer than this one! Check out this playlist! czcams.com/play/PLfQ7n_Tfs4mvzYYrke9zk7vlSr5txovwC.html
indeed anki is very important , but out of curiosity did you thought about sharing your anki cards ? so we all can get benefits ? or can we work together to make a large card collections that can benefits thousands and thousands of Dental students worldwide ? ( for free of course :)
Thanks for the comment!! Unfortunately, I do not distribute my Anki cards. My cards are filled with material and screenshots pulled directly from my dental schoolâs distributed PowerPoints and this material is not mine to distribute. It is owned by the school!
