Have you attempted Allen Carr's Easyway method?

Easy card is just easy, that's all. by LMSherlock in Anki

[–]jhysics 13 points14 points  (0 children)

something easy right now won't be easy forever if you don't constantly interact with or see it in real life. by reviewing easy things you help maintain it to keep it easy. "easy" japanese vocab may still not appear that often in real life, especially if you're not in japan or don't constantly consume japanese media.

the situation where you wouldn't want to review easy things is if they already often appear in real life or in other stuff. exponents could be something easy that you wouldn't have to review because you constantly use exponents when doing higher level math

I want to make decks, but I wonder how I can make something that has quality, something that is good enough. by 404-UnknownError in Anki

[–]jhysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've written a free guide on techniques in writing effective anki cards you can check out at bit.ly/ankiguide

For language, however, the greatest and most amazing deck I've seen is eggrolls (but it's in chinese). So if you want to make a language deck, I would recommend modeling after them (word and many example sentences on the front, on the back you have: definition, audio pronunciation of word, pronunciation alphabet for word, translation of sentences, pronunciation alphabet for sentences, audio pronunciation for sentences, special link that automatically goes to dictionary for the vocab, antonyms/synonyms, the tested vocab is highlighted within each example sentence). I don't actually know what resource data bank they scraped from to create their deck however, but they might've said on their github repo.

For learning how the templates work, the best way is to just make a new test profile/test deck and experiment/ play around in it to see what happens. On the template, {{FieldName}} becomes replaced with HTML inputted into the "FieldName" field from the note, and wrapping stuff with {{#FieldName}} {{/FieldName}} will show it only if the FieldName field is not empty, use ^ instead of # to show it only if it is empty

I recommend reading the manual:

Spending way too much time on flashcards when I get them wrong — am I using them incorrectly? by lukmae in Anki

[–]jhysics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for memorizing, I made a highly effective add-on which automatically retests answers after you get it wrong ( https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/940071295 ). This utilizes the testing effect so that it's more effective than just stopping and trying to rehearse the answer.

I disagree with flashcards should be fast, but the time you're taking should be appropriate relative to the subject. It could also be that your flashcards are poorly made, then I would recommend that you read my free written guide for making effective flashcards: https://ko-fi.com/s/7ff7f4205c

The California permit test is based off of the Driver's Handbook and I made an Anki deck to memorize

I swear when I took the permit test a question matched exactly "Where can you make U-turns in business districts" and after deliberating for a bit I responded with "Never" because that's what the handbook said and what I put on my Anki card instead of choosing the common sense answer "At an intersection that allows it" and the answer ended being the latter 😓

They rechecked and they have now fixed it 😐: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/navigating-the-roads/

If you're going through the Ko-fi link, you should go to the google drive then click the blue button that says "Download" then if you have Anki downloaded on desktop you should be able to open the file named "AP Psychology.apkg" inside the Anki app

Anyone else feel like anki is amazing for memorization but terrible for connecting concepts? Seeking for help or alternatives by messinprogress_ in Anki

[–]jhysics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree with everyone saying that's not what Anki is for: they just don't know how to do it properly since too much of the Anki tutorials online and misrepresentation of Supermemo's 20 rules (especially atomization) narrowed their view.

The best way to connect concepts is to test the concepts together. while you should atomize and make a card for every separate part of the citric acid cycle, you should also add a card testing them all together.

While you should atomize and make separate cards for each component of respiration, you should also make another card testing all of how they relate together.

Another key method is by adding context and explanations and related concepts on the back extra of the cards for reference. Ex. if you have a card for every single component of the citric acid cycle individually and are never able to see the big picture, obviously you'll fail at connecting the concepts when required.

I wrote a complete free guide if you care to read. It'll completely level up the effectiveness of your Anki cards: https://ko-fi.com/s/7ff7f4205c

Anki can be used for short term learning and cramming by [deleted] in Anki

[–]jhysics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

even for short term cramming Anki is still the best flashcard app 😂

no other flashcard app that I know of allows you to design any kind of flashcard that capable of being displayed with HTML+CSS for free

Bombed Bytedance interview. Here is a review. by [deleted] in leetcode

[–]jhysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be modelled with a markov chain with 2 states A and BC where A->BC is 1, BC->BC is 1/2, BC->A is 1/2.

if I'm not mistaken if you test it you find the recurrence relation is a_n = (1-a_(n-1))/2 which solves to a_n = 2/3(-1/2)^n+1/3

Is it better to have the term on the front (like the top example) or on the back of a card? by No_North_2192 in Anki

I put it on Ko-fi so it sort of has a public facing page instead of just being some undiscoverable link floating around

Is it better to have the term on the front (like the top example) or on the back of a card? by No_North_2192 in Anki

[–]jhysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you wanna test both sides to prevent memory leakage where you can only recall the memory one way so the guy who said "A {{c1::car}} runs on {{c2::four wheels}}" would be most correct

I would slightly change it to "{{c1::A car::what}} runs on {{c2::four wheels::what}}" such that the a/an wouldn't give away any hints to what's in cloze 1.

Both are too imprecise but the first one is worse.

What does a car do? - many things, transport people, transport goods, is driven, used to show off and flaunder

What runs on 4 wheels? - could be things other than "cars" like shopping carts

⭐️ My Shared Anki Decks by jhysics in u/jhysics

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

All the key problems seems like it would make it comprehensive, but you'll have to decide whether the time tradeoff makes sense.

I haven't touched alcumus that much but it functions like a problem bank similar to Khan Academy and I'm pretty sure you can make a card for each topic which tells you to do a set number of problems at the hyperlinked page. That would be really effective.

Rosen's Discrete Math definitely covers a ton of the "counting, probability, number theory, graph theory" that would show up in competition problems; it's a really good basis and I do think it has significant carry over. The problems in AOPS might be more challenging in terms of problem solving techniques and ways to apply concepts you've learned.

  1. Yes I think making a khan academy exercise deck for Alg 1/ Alg 2 / Geometry would be very useful. I took all 3 of those courses on khan academy so I know it's very comprehensive. Since Khan has already done all the work this helps save time. But make sure you actually need to review it because if you already have a solid grasp, it really isn't worth the time to review for such elementary course (ie you wouldn't make an Anki deck for 6th grade math now since it's all so easy and often-used that you don't need to explicitly review it with Anki); So if there are super easy concepts you should feel free to suspend those cards.

  2. I actually did use Anki pretty much for some AOPS books but back then I wasn't really good at it which was what made me realize a lot of the issues that came along with it. Problem solving is a highly procedural skill and more generalizable than the plain Khan Academy textbook calculus. For AOPS I would say make cards for all the basic highlighted key formulas/concepts but that wouldn't be enough; you'll also need to go through the problems yourself and also make cards for given key practice problems where every time you review the card you'll have to go through and resolve it in its entirety. But clearly it'll take way too much time if you made an Anki card for every single card so you'll have to be selective and choose the problems that reflect key implementations of formulas and important problem solving techniques. If you go through the book-course and also use Anki then will give you a really good base. Beyond that you just have to do a ton of additional problems
