  • THE KEY TO SUCESS AT MEDICAL SCHOOL | how to save time and boost your grades!
    I know how overwhelming anki can seem at first but I PROMISE once you get started it is so so simple. This is one of my most requested videos ever, but I wanted to wait till i'd mastered anki to sit down and explain it all step by step. This is exactly how I use anki and went from hating to loving this amazing piece of software...
    00:00 - intro
    1:49 - how I organise my anki decks
    4:13 - how I make my cards
    11:00 - my add ons
    14:32 - my review settings on anki

    Hi Anna,
    Nice video, I wasn't too impressed with Anki when I first encountered it, but I think I will give it another shot having watched your video.
    I'm looking for a resource where I can create flashcards such as these, but for my students as I work in education sector. There are many paid apps out there, so I resorted to creating flash decks in powerpoint and adding animations so the cards rotate after clicking.
    What I am looking for is to be able to create a bank of decks, then lock them down so they are not editable, then share it with my students. I can do this in my powerpoint deck but does Anki have this feature?
    What would be even more impressive is if I could see each individuals heat map. Do you know if this is possible?
    Many thanks :)

    Anki is very good... WHEN it works properly.
    If anything doesn't works well, you will never find the solution for the problem. Never, nowhere.
    If you are lucky, it will come back.
    I'm not.

    The quick colour config I use is just three shades of pink that I find really aesthetic and beautiful to look at while studying
    {
    "keys": [
    [
    "#DA70D6",
    "F3"
    ],
    [
    "#FF69B4",
    "F2"
    ],
    [
    "#FFB6C1",
    "F1"
    ]
    ]
    }
    The colors are
    Orchid: F3
    Hot Pink: F2
    Light Pink: F1
    Anyway, thanks for the video, I've been using your settings and addons for over a year and it's helped me a lot in my nursing college
