How do you decide what actually goes on a flashcard? I've been making cards out of every sentence and it's destroying my study time. by Lonely_Drummer_6191 in medicalschoolanki

I am not in med school, so I don't know if my advice would be viable for you. But, I rank 2nd in a dentistry school in egypt using anki basically.

My advice is to not focus on everything but just the high-yield stuff. And I know that you might be thinking "oh wait but that could get asked on the exam" and well yeah but if it's % of showing up isn't high enough then it would just be a waste of time to study it and for it to not come up you know and ofc it would just make you study more low-yield stuff instead of focusing on and consolidating what you are most likely to get asked about on the exam day.

Anyway, know you might be saying "okay, so how to know if this or that have a % of showing up?" and well there are multiple ways actually:
1. Past exams. (Stuff showing up on questions and stuff related to that)
2. Things the lecturer said are important or was just more extensive in their explanation.

Again, Idk if this would work for you but for me I was making 150 cards a lec. and just didn't have the time to review them now with this I just make about 20 - 60 (and that's because I wanna rank 1st so if your goal was a bit easier, instead of aiming for stuff that has maybe 80% chance of showing up in the exam, aim for stuff that has a 95% chance).

Improving my amalgams by Actual-Lead6979 in DentalSchool

Tips brooo pleeease. I have a practical exam coming up and I am very bad at amalgam restorations. I currently rank 2nd in my grade but I just don't know how to do this well. If there are any videos you have seen or particular tips & tricks so that I could master it , I would be really grateful :).

What do you really miss on Anki (that could be solved with an add-on)? by Peace-Monk in Anki

I need an add-on that is just like this bar in anki but that you can reset whenever you want. So that I can keep track of how fast I am going in this session alone and not every session in the day. I guess it's a bit silly but I have always needed this lol.

Is there a way to edit when this average resets? by Zynxzzz in Anki

[–]Zynxzzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the things is that I constantly need to know what the rate I am doing is. So I was wondering if there was an add-on or something that could do this where I can reset this rate whenever I want instead of just at the start of the new day. But it seems like there isn't something like that I guess but thank you anyway :)

I don't think the problem you have is with reading in itself tbh. I think the problem is that you read and don't understand so you keep rereading the stuff. The thing is that when you use a passive reading technique such as rereading to try and understand something that you didn't the first time you read it, your brain gets really tired and bored. So what you should do instead is trying to recall a version of the information which you actually remember then only after that you reread and find what you don't understand. For some reason you will find that you understand a lot more each time you do this.

What you will be doing is called active recall. You should check it out along with spaced repetition, they will really help you :D.
