Flashcards are the best way to memorize and learn anything. But are you using them right? This class is a complete and in-depth tutorial on the flashcard application Anki. A tool that top students w use to achieve the best grades because it has made studying more efficient and effective using the magic of spaced repetition.

It is up to date. Many previous classes and YouTube videos on the subject are simply outdated. The settings have changed, the application has changed, and applying those settings won't only be nearly impossible, but it will harm your learning.

The Insane Power of Anki

When we learn something, we forget half of that information in as quick as 30 minutes. After one day, only we will remember only 1/3rd of the content we initially learned. So how do we remember that information in the long-term ?The answer is Anki. Anki is a flashcard application that changed the way I study and changed my grades, forever.

Anki uses the magic of spaced repetition to perfectly test your brain right before it forgets that information. However, the application is a little tricky, and it needs to be tinkered with to maximize our its ability to help us remember information. In this class, I’ll take you everything I know after using Anki for over 3 years, 3,000 hours and reviewing over 500,000 flashcards. That’s a lot of time, but the time was well spent on this glorious application. By the end of this course, you’ll know how Anki works, how to create the best flaschards for learning, and how to actually use Anki during school.

Chapter 1: What is Anki? What are the best Settings?

In these first sections, I'll take you through the specific algorithm that has changed the world of studying forever. I will also give you the optimal settings to make sure you aren't wasting any time or brain space when you are studying. This is where the hard work comes in, but will pay massive dividends as you continue throughout your educational career.

Chapter 2: Creating Flaschards

In this chapter I'll explain the best standard operating procedures for creating and setting up flaschards. What to do and what not to do.

Chapter 3: How to Use Anki in School

In this chapter we will go over how to actually start implementing this amazing resource in your education. I'll go over my complete studying strategy, using premade decks, and an example day of studying.

Chapter 4: Advanced Features

In this chapter, I will go over how to take your Anki use to the next level. This is the part of the course that I don't think I've seen anyone talk about. The forget function, the forgetting curve, the custom study function, catching up when you are behind, goal retention, statistics, and much more.

Who am I?

My name is Zach. I’m a fourth-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. I began using Anki in my first year of medical school and saw a grade jump that I couldn't believe. I started making videos on YouTube ONLY about Anki to show people the power of it. This is my most complete class ever on Anki. I hope you enjoy it.
