Anki is the best way to memorize anything. But are you using it right?
The forget function, learning intervals, card customization, missed questions, add-ons--do you use these things with your Anki cards? You probably should. In this post, I'll review 11 less well-known tips for maximizing your retention when using Anki. Anki revolutionized how I study; if you don't know what Anki is, I recommend you watch one of my earlier videos or join my class for a complete guide, as this video has specific, more advanced tips.

@@joycoso1453 does this link work? www.skillshare.com/en/classes/Mastering-Anki-Create-a-Flashcard-System-for-Straight-As/472791200/projects otherwise just search "Anki"
The most productive man on earth , who understands everything deeply and teaches everything deeply and factually
Thank u zach
Thanks for watchingggg
Yeah he does understand a lot and is able to teach a lot. Not everything but a lot.... probably 😊
He's applied the buddha's way. What a rolemodel 😊
Deeply my foot
He just says "I will explain it in my course"
Thankyou Zack !! I tought of myself a noob but after seein this video of yours, i feel like an expert. It is so much advanced now with Image occlusion and one by one on pictures and cloze. I hope you teach the new commers about it too. Great work and Keep it up!!!
Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos about anki!! I started using it this year because of you and its truly been life changing. Excited to hear what you say in this video :)
Let me know what you think!
@@ZachHighley Amazing advice! The point about using the 'forget cards' option is new to me and seems especially useful. Anki is definitely a confusing software at first so it's really helpful that there are videos like yours out there to help!
Instead of the forget function, I use the Anking’s “difficult cards deck” method which uses a filtered deck to select cards whose ease is low suggesting you are getting them wrong a lot. Same idea though, it’s good to make sure you know what ideas you aren’t getting.
How do you feel about the "Straight Reward" add-on? Usually if my ease gets low, this corrects it for me without having to worry about it
What is the "difficult cards deck" method?
You seem very enthusiastic about learin things. Thank you for each video and especiallyfor clasess on skillshare, it made me think, that I would like to be in school again!
Even i am not medical student , I like the app you introduced to me a few year a go. I'm trying to study Fundmental of engineering license in america. As a foreigner , it`s not gonnabe easy but yeah i love to study by Anki, THank you for the update of new setting for Anki.
I always get a very strong inspiration from this man, which has changed my life a lot, thank you teacher.❤️🙌🏿
Thanks for watchingggg
Was waiting for this video man ! Today also my exam went well Thank to u Zach 👑
Amazinggggg
New subscriber here. :) I am binge watching your videos in my free time. I find so much value in them! More contents to come!
WELL I JUST FOUND OUT I FAILED MY STEP 1 AND I AM SO INCREDIBLY OVERWHELMED AND DISCOURAGED BY HAVING TO TACKLE ALL OF THIS THIS AGAIN FOR MY RETAKE, thanks for the video
good luck on your resits dude. I just failed my med exams as well.
Thanks for correcting our mistakes
After long time about Anki 😁😁😍😍
You should know that You're keeping med students like myself going ❤️....thank you💯
Just started using anki today!
I would love to have a teacher like you in my school 💙
good content as always say
Take care man
Take care dude !
bro thats what i am searching for like a 3 months gosh i wish i knew about v3 scheduler damn
Understanding is important in many areas but in eg anatomy you can’t avoid brute memorization eg cranial nerves, etc.
Thank you so much! I`m studying for a big test here in Brazil, and you helped me a lot! =D
Can you do a video reviewing the FSRS anki algorithm please? Would love to see if it helps you or not
Dear Zach, I trust you are well.
Thank you for sharing.
I need some advice, memorising is time consuming so I memorize for 30 minutes per page.
I did pass all my exams,but I need to know how to gain understanding skills and remember what I read?
Thank you.
Hello, please do you know of any add-ons similar to the previous advanced previewer that allows you to answer reviews while previewing cards in the browser window without having to use custom review? Thanks
You know i'm gonna start my last year in college (17 yo btw) and I want to make things just right because at the end of the year we all have an exam which score is used for ranked each student + other factors they score to universities accept the best studients (this is in Chile), and normally people in this years pays to enter a prep course but for my I think is not necessary and just a waste of money if you know how to properly study. So I want to be efficient and prepare for what the future holds and anki is a tool I heavily want to master and use for this and also I'm looking to self teach me german so i can opt for an exchange and study maybe a year chemical engineer outside. That being said thanks for this vids and your channel has been one (apart from anki) one that i've ended up many times I never really comment ever but hey just wanted you to know hope you do well in life :)
so im new to anki and ive been using it for a big exam i have this june. how do i make sure all my cards are still in rotation(?) till then?
If I need to revise ALL THE CARDS for a final exam.. how would you plug the retention?
Greetings I have a problem when I first started using anki I set my maximum interval to short for 4 months I want to extend that for atleast a year any suggestions how to do that ( the mature cards turn to 1 year by default; I wanted to stay 4 months until I see the card again)
I am using the Application, some of the settings arent there. Cant you also make a video which explains the application settings?
I've not used Anki yet, I'm still figuring out my studying methodologt first, then everything will become clearer and less confusing in the next days ( hopefully i achieve my goal )
did you achieve your goal?
@@markoboredguy6911 Yes, Anki was worth it!
If today I study a chapter, when should I do the space repetition?
Nice content sir
Thank youuuu
I'm facing sudden panic attacks during exams or when i go through sudden emotion change...like when I'm in exam hall i get high fever all of a sudden every single time this happens and well after exams done I'm all good
Zach can you please make a video on how to overcome this ❤️
Hey , this happens only exams times is due to more and more stress regarding exam ...... So you chill yaar during exam ..... So I give you one suggestion you start doing meditation which is so helpful for you to get rid of this types of problems during exams time....
Praying to God has helped me and also listening to music. Going to bed early and eating well helps too💙💙praying you can be free from anxiety x
It's a long time since I used Anki, perhaps because I couldn't use it properly and didn't understand it. I'm now wondering would it be sensible to delete what I have and start all over as if I had just downloaded it. I'm using it to study Irish and using an ipad
Thanks for the info about the new settings. I remember in an old video you used a different new cards settings (15m, 1d, 3d). Why did you change it? Is it 15m, 1d, 6d better?
Focusing on retention over a longer term than in the short term, also that spacing after much trial and error worked best for me
@@ZachHighley Thanks. If I do cards on my own do you think is it a better interval? the first one seems so short for me
@@ZachHighley Do you think this longer spacing works for studying incorrect cards of UWorld?
What are your thoughts on using the Again, Hard, Good, and Easy buttons when reviewing Anki cards? Are they useful or counterproductive in learning with Anki?
will your course address the Anki update? i think they recently change their algorithm or something.
10:53 Hey Zach! how did you get your tags to look like individual bubbles like that? Is it an add on or newer version of anki? Bc my tags just show up as one long text box. Help is appreciated 🙏🏽
i too
I’m pretty sure the tags are just made like that, and unfortunately there’s no real way to change the appearance. However I will say I’m on windows and it looks the same. Maybe it’s something to do with your program?
Is your skillshare course good for also premed studies?
Can you make a video about concentration, how to increase concentration or focus, you're video help me in my study , Thank you for that 😊
On it
Cut the distractions.
If you procrastinate, then learn about this thing called "learned helplessness".
To increase concentration you have to either love what you're doing or studying or be highly curious about it. To get rid of brain chatter, use a dairy to write down them thoughts that are bugging you.
Also, there is an app called "forest". You can use that as well.
Have a great day!
Honestly the only thing that helped me increase my focus is by avoiding dopamine overstimulation, such as avoiding overstimulating music, social media, IP, junk food, etc. That way, the only dopamine I get is from studying and becoming a better version of myself.
Also, make sure you take mental breaks when you need to by doing what neuroscientists call "downtime", which is partaking in an activity that requires little to no concentration to the point where your mind starts wandering. An example of such activity is just staring at a wall. Downtime has been shown to increase focus and productivity as well as learning retention, as it uses the default mode network (DMN) of your brain to process what you've just learned in the background, whereas if you were to take a mental break by scrolling through social media, you wouldn't truly be giving your brain a break from processing as there's a lot of novel information on social media that your brain will process.
Downtime also increases creativity, which is where Archimedes' famous "Eureka!" moment came from, as his mind was wandering while stepping into a bathtub. The DMN is much faster than the executive function of your brain, which is why you'll almost always make faster and better connections between different topics when your mind is wandering than when you are focused on a specific thing.
Hope this helps.
@@ZachHighley 😊
I mean, I KNOW THIS WORKS, because my highest marks came from questions and answers, but the problem is I only make them the night before the exam and revise with them at school, even if I make them with anki, it only takes 2 days for me to completely forget abt them, oh and I can't find decks for my school's materials, so I have to make 'em all by myself
Hey man, you're like the next Ali Abdaal!!!
Can you make a video on taking good notes
Great man... Great words...love from Pakistan
Love from US
@@ZachHighley can we contact on telegram please
For the "gather order" option, I'm only seeing "deck" and "ascending" and "descending" positions, do I need to so something to see "random order"?
I just had to update my anki to fix it lol
Is this course for Mac users? Because I'm a Windows user and functions would be different on different operating system.
Do you think Anki would work to learn accounting?
Hey there. Curious if you are going to upgrade to the new fsrs anki algorithm?
He should if he wants to have the most optimal settings
How do do you do this with the web anki? Can't do that right?
90% retention sounds like a good goal. But for thousands of things that have multiple parts, wow
How much time per day do you spend on anki?
Mine doesnt have preferences for scheduling and fine tuning??
what watch do you wear? :)
could you do a step by step on how to study? I spent many years without studying and I don't even remember the basics of school. I'm from Brazil and I'm asking for your help with this, there are no good videos here explaining the process of how to actually study.
Ele estuda por flashcards e questões práticas, mano. Acompanho ele desde 2021, e aplico os mesmos métodos que ele desde lá. Nunca questionei, sempre fidelizei a este método, pois ele é o mais produtivo e menos consumidor de tempo possível. Pega um dia para você ver bastante vídeos dele e vai testando o melhor dos mundos p/ ti.
@@viniciusborges1832 mano mas como funciona a sua rotina de estudos?
I used anki for a year for my "college" and entered in production engineer. Should I keep using it to learn Calculus, linear algebra and physics or you think its pretty much useless? And how should I study math/physics with anki? Mainly cards of questions that I got wrong?
You can’t really use flash cards to study for math / physics. You need to work through examples and practice questions
I mean you could use anki to revise equations for both math and physics
where can I find that advanced browser add on?
It seems that AnkiPro (2.1) on my Mac mini 1 is not compatible (will not sync) with my Anki app on my iPad Pro, nor with anki web. The iPad anki app is compatable (will sync) with the web version. So the choice is if I use the iPad app, then I don’t need the desktop 2.1 version because they are not compatible (will not sync). 🤷🏼♂️ (or am I wrong?)
the add-ons advanced browser, eu já coloquei a sinalizaçãoe e não fica laranja assim :c eu já coloquei a finalização, mas não muda...
Great video per usual. Has anyone else's easy/hard/good buttons disappeared? Suggestions are welcomed.
No way I’m in Philly! Do you study at Jeff or Penn? I know some med students at Jefferson
Lots of good wishes from India. Have a nice day:)
Thank youuuuu
@@ZachHighley 🙌
Zach, do you have suggestions for settings I can toggle if I’m missing cards that I haven’t seen for 4-6 months? It seems like my percentage correct for cards before this time period is great, but I see a significant decline in performance at the 4-6 month range. Thanks!
in the advanced setting you can decrease the maximum interval, set it to 180 and the maximum interval for cards will be 6 months.
Where can I download Zanki, guys?
What about new course about v3 engine an FSRS ?????
Where is the anking? I Used to have those decks 1 year ago. I deleted them and now I cant find them anymore on the internet😮
I just don’t want to pay for anki hub membership. So I don’t get v3 updated version? Frustrating
how did you even get into this tab at 5:13 ?? u didnt even say .....
Man I’ve tried studying your way ( Anki and stuff) and man am I failing!! My tests scores keep getting worse…I fear I might get deferment 😢…I guess it’s not possible to be dynamic and excel in Ghana. You’d have to cram the lecturer’s slides to pass - like a robot. It’s sad
How is it possible to do 2000 reviews in a day?
I'm non-native English speaker. Does learning vocabulary using Flashcard isn't effective? Could someone answer me, please?
very effective
I've never been this fast...😂
I unfortunately say that too often
😁
Thanks for watching
How to use this V3 scheduler in mobile app (Android)?
I would just enable it, but be careful changing settings on mobile I would only change for computer
AnkiDroid is still using V2; V3's a WIP

I like your videos, so please reply to me I have a question regarding studies
What’s up
So shall I ask my question
@@balochsarparah5237 Just ask it, you tease.
@@Jeadbrz if I ask it then zack didn't respond to my question
Didn't he already give step 1 ?
Wait so what’s wrong with actual paper cards?
Nothing really it just becomes hard to transport 30k + physical cards and also you can’t space out the cards easily because the best part of anki is that it automated the spacing to be perfect for interleaved practice/spaced repetition based on the research and your performance
Are u an AI generated?
His handsomeness DOES seem way too unreal so I see why you'd think that lol
DDG?
God this video is overcomplicated lol
just get on with it u melt
too much color correction man... it's not good looking
This is a terrible explanation!
Is making flashcards is necessary ,I mean if I see any new things I write it with the relative topic on book @ZachHighley
24 min+ video but still everything will be explained in my course!
