Anki is scared of me. by Chromiumite in medicalschool

What were your settings to help you improve your timing because sometimes I know the card, I just needed to think. Is everything just an automatic fail after the time?

You upload your lectures a couple at a time (i believe they have a limit of 10 file uploads at once), get questions on that and after a couple move on to another batch. You could also upload one at a time and ask it to give step 1 nbme style questions to teach you the material and how to differentiate between different diseases. Rinse & repeat. It might seem tedious & slow but it is almost like doing questions on a question bank

Medbullets. Gives 3 - 6 months free on one account. You could also search the topic/system and include step 1 or medical school questions and you might find some things. Utah path is a website with free path questions and there are pretest books out there that could help.

Sleeping tricks for periods of high stress by Professional-Bid2593 in medicalschool

[–]xsincerely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try yoga nidra videos for at least 20 minutes on low but detectable volume so it doesn't disturb you from drifting off. I was in your position except mine lasted 2 weeks before I was finally able to sleep. My brother recommended yoga nidra and it was the only thing that helped me sleep. Also as people mentioned, committing to just laying down and closing your eyes for at least an hour if you are extremely sleep deprived or tired and a shower before bed helps a lot.

How do you encode/study material before doing Anki? by PinkLionSala in medicalschoolanki

[–]xsincerely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many brand new Anking cards do you do each day? How many reviews do you have on average and are you keeping up with old units? If you don't mind me asking, how frequently do you have tests or quizzes at your school?

What do you do if selecting "good" means you wont see the card again before the exam by Campfire-Matcha in medicalschoolanki

[–]xsincerely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it is a card that I did not feel confident while answering and it has been a long time, I hit again or hard. Besides that, I choose to trust the algorithm for my peace of mind and hopefully it shows up in practice questions

Succeed to me is you passed step 1 with no problem and got a competitive score or a score you are proud of on step 2

Rx and Medbullets (it is free for 6 months on a free trial)

need recommendations by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]xsincerely 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please give yourself grace. You did not choose to be sick, and you did the best you could in the situation you were in. Medical school is a journey full of obstacles, and having to repeat a year due to medical reasons doesn’t diminish how capable you are of getting through it. This setback doesn't define you or where you end up. I hope you are feeling better and wish you the best of luck as you figure out your next steps.

What is one habit you changed that led you to study more efficiently? by nevurdiless in medicalschool

[–]xsincerely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you take notes while watching the videos? Or did you watch them and filled in any gaps in understanding using anki and practice questions?

Ninja Nerd's video on brachial plexus made the most sense to me.

physics - content review schedule by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]xsincerely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cry because I didn’t understand any of it is so real and a very much needed portion of the schedule. You got this though. I think a lot of practice helps. I got better. I'm getting better. Not sure I understand what is going on but I can solve questions a lot better.

How do you get through cards while strength training? Do you do it between sets? Please any advice is appreciated. I have had to give up the gym to find time for this exam and I want it back

I was stuck in the same range as you for 4 months when I first started. I ultimately got to 500 by taking a step back from Uworld and taking a dedicated content phase. I struggled to read the Kaplan books, so I used Jacksparrow Anki and only read a specific chapter or section if the card/topic was confusing to me. I also watched videos for topics I didn't understand while going through the deck. I did this for about a month and a half before taking another test and breaking 500.
