Condensing lecture slides is so crucial when you’re under a time crunch like this and anki has been a life saver with making sure the info is cemented in the mind
I've been doing exactly the same since last year. 1. I do my summary in Google docs 2. I take screenshots 3. I do cards with that screenshots This is how I passed 7 final exams in almost 2 months: neurology, rehabilitation, psychiatry, traumatology, dermatology, legal medicine, ophthalmology I've never passed so many exams in such a short time.
@@justsomeone5660 I do the same as him, but instead of taking screenshots of the slides, I make a brief summary in Google docs to have all the topic's information in one page. Then I take a screenshot of that page and use image occlusion enhanced to cover the key information. I hope you understand and sorry for my grammatical mistakes, I'm from Argentina.
@@luzfrascalidiaz3920 me too! Im from buenos aires, UAI, currently learning how it works, great tip, I’ll try it, but overall I love being able to use the slides, I feel like the image may help me remember somehow
Thank you for providing a different perspective on Anki! I actually use google sheets because it was easiest and I tried anki many times but give up half way when I’m making my cards. I must try this technique for my upcoming exams!
Variations on this method: - keyboard shortcut win + shift + S to screenshot each slide/information block and your annotations - basic flashcard question with slide or several slides as answer - image occlusion with part of slide - cards where you have to draw a diagram as an answer - make flashcards during the year to save revision time, suspend them according to your needs - make flashcards from past papers - customise the steps in the options group to suit the time you have left and the difficulty (if i have 2 days i tend to use 30 mins, 3 hours, 1 day, but it really depends on how I'm doing on the cards and I switch it up even between decks using option groups).
Agreed. If you're not using the screenshot hotkeys for images, etc into Anki, I'd be as bold as to say you're not using Anki right. What's nice with image occlusion enhanced is you don't need to paste the image into the card. If you click the IOE Anki button, it automatically inserts your clipboarded image.
To make this even faster change the screenshot shortcut to only the PrtSc button if your keyboard has that button and your computer allows you to do it. This was a game changer to me it made it so much faster
@@where6043 as in one card for each information block (take a screenshot of the diagram/ part you want, not the whole slide). Do this if your lecturer likes to pile each slide with info, for most lectures 1 card/ slide is usually ok. For stuff like medicine with huge amounts of info on each slide you can separate it into bits
Re: Anki being unrealistic I've noticed that many studytubers who have success with this are those who able to watch recorded lectures in a flexible schedule with occasional in person practicals and tutorials. That way they are able to make Anki a priority that they consistently tackle for several hours every day. For those of us who often have 7 to 8 hours of compulsory lectures and labs per day and projects to keep up with, this is not feasible. Still watching the video but I'm sure this method is going to be a godsend since it's pretty much the conclusion I'd arrived to with my own revision 🤩
I work 6 days a week 60~ hours not including commute and I can do SRS everyday so far. Granted Im not a student, but I can do SRS during work breaks lunch, dinner, the time before a clock in, maybe a few minutes after work or 15 minutes after I get home. If I get a few minutes of free time, like waiting in a waiting room for an appointment or to fill up gas, I will knock out ten reviews. Spreading the reviews out throughout the day makes it a lot more manageable. However much I end up doing is what I do, if I have more free time and no reviews? Well I'll do some lessons. Not enough free time? I'll still try to do 5 lessons but if I can't I can't.
@@KillerofGods DAMN you're a beast, good on you man 👍👍👍 how many cards do you do per day? And how do you deal with the backlog? Tbh I like the idea of doing Anki, but the problem with it is that I would get so much backlog just from missing a few cards that it became depressing doing the same old 200 reviews and not managing to add enough new ones. Now I just use really long intervals and try to do cards from each topic equally when I can, but I definitely don't do them everyday and I liberally resuspend the ones I don't need anymore after the exams.
(also I'm not convinced that Anki is the most efficient way to learn everything, i think it's a useful tool for optimizing memory but needs to be combined with other methods)
I used your method when I crammed one day before my exams and quizzes. While in the exam room, I was pleasantly surprised that majority of what I crammed from my professor's PowerPoint came out in the exam questions and quizzes. I got high scores after taking them. Really a life-saver, Nathan! By the way, I'm currently studying Medical Laboratory Science.
Not a way I’d ever thought of using image occlusion but this seems like an extremely efficient method! Thank you for giving us an insight into your technique!
i am in my exam week and the only thing that's been keeping me up and motivated and not feel like giving up is because of nathan. so thank you nathan for sharing us how hard reality can be for everyone and not get oursleves drown just with whats on the screen, hiding the actual fact.
Active recall is much better than passive reading for sure! But in my experience, this method doesn't help retain info long term. If you grind out 3 weeks of cardio content like this and pass your exam, that's awesome. But if you need to retain the info for long term boards studying or just to know it in general if you plan to go into a field where cardio content is relevant, the important details you learn will certainly fade just a few months out, let alone a few years out. For anyone that is aiming to retain the information you're learning LONG-TERM - definitely do anki daily over time with cumulative reviews. After a year or two in the cycle, much of that detail is ingrained in your brain forever.
@@Kevin-Cardosoo Spaced repetition software like anki makes you recall the information once every week, month, two months, until you keep getting it right. Learning with picture-association study tools is also really effective, like Sketchy. And doing cases and interactive questions can also help ingrain the lesson much deeper than reading it with little outside context
Second this. Anyone getting into medicine should not follow this advice. I’m not saying it’s bad, if you want to finish your undergrad and just need a way to get through exams to get you into the work force, then it’s perfect. But as a medical student, you will never stop studying! I repeat. You will never stop studying. You have to become a life-long learner and using Anki (correctly) is one of the tools that helps this process. Once you get your cards reviewed properly, you won’t see them for months if not years. Never delete your cards. You can suspend and unsuspend them when you need. People honestly just don’t know how to use anki properly. Anyway, this comes from a med student who is facing the mountainous load of studying ahead. Better log off and actually study.
Cried 2 hours because of exam stress and anxiety I have to give bio, chem and phy . Completely burnt out and the content I have to revise is giving me nightmares. And nothing seem to get in my head. But Thank you Nathan!!
Hi, I'm also a Pharmacy student in Portugal, I'm on 4th year and this video was one of the best contents about studying techniques. Here we just have like 1 or 2 days between exams and sometimes, when you're doing 7 disciplines, it can get very confusing. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Current third-year med student here. This may work for short-term exams, but never work for long-term exams like your boards. Also, image occlusion has a huge draw back of difficulty finding the card when you want to search for it.
@@hichammagnin9069 Yes, putting a header can help you with searching for certain cards. However, it is still not possible to search for all the contents that's on the slide. It is just not granular enough for an optimal searching.
yeah, agree with your single-day reviewing, even though the normal spaced repetition system is made like that to let you retain better without over saturate your brain with these too many repetitions and this should be the norm. But ok, let's normalize the single day technique because the majority of the students never have that amount of time to go through cards every single day, like Rachel does. Let's normalize also the fact of the majority of the students probably review things just 1-3 days before the exam, because they start late studying. So in these terms, the single-day system is a great solution.
@@NathanWu yeah, it's a great tool if you go short in time or simply you just don't want to do flashcards everyday. Thanks for the video bro, great contents of your channel.
I have pharmacology, self care, and pathophys finals all a day apart from each other. I just took 2 finals. I have 2, 3, and 4 days to go through 7 lectures of 500 slides to go through in 2 days and 14 lectures of pharmacology in 3 days. wtf and I gonna do but this is better than passive studying. 😢
Can you please drop a video explaining how to make IO cards using Ankidroid? It'd be a huge help. Ps really appreciate this video! Saw right before my exams so I'm lucky 😌
Hello Nathan 👋 It's very informative . I learned here new things about making cards . Thanks for this . :) Yeah I agree that it take lot of time so we can't use it daily. :(
I never usually comment but I just have to say THANK YOU I have a mock next week Tuesday on the past TWO YEARS of content and have previously had every other exam online and not really studied for them as they were made muchhh easier. THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS LITERAL PERFECT TIMING, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER
loved this method! med student here and sometimes its so hard find videos where people explain how to cram anki! I totally agree that sometimes the anki "model" is not feasible especially when you have large amounts of information and multiple classes! will definitely be using this method
The way I'm using Anki..... 1. Screenshot: Win+Shift+S: 2. Switch to Anki: Alt+Tab (If same desktop) Win+Ctrl+Left or Right Arrow (If different virtual desktop) 3. Add flash card: Nothing to do once it open 4. Invoke Image Occlusion Enhanced: Ctrl + Shift + O 5. Draw rectangles 5.1 Select All: Press 'A' 5.2 Group All: Press 'G' 6. Adding additional info (IF ANY): Alt + F 7a. Hide All Reveal One: Ctrl+Return 7b. Hide One Reveal All: Ctrl+Shift+Return 8. Switch to Source: Alt+Tab (If same desktop) Win+Ctrl+Left or Right Arrow (If different virtual desktop) REPEAT - REPEAT - REPEAT I added all of the steps in macro keys 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 So its easy and within seconds flash card created.
I love Anki and I'm doing dentistry. It's tiring to make cards when you have so many lectures, great to do it with friends and split it. This is how I do it and I find it good too: 1. Watch lecture recordings/attend lectures to write down what the lecturer says. Super important for dentistry! 2. Do a basic anki card for eg. "Describe obturation" and screen clip the slide as the answer. I find this easier than image occlusion. 3. Use browse and then preview deck to study in order. I don't use easy, medium or hard because I find that it's very subjective. 4. Study 3-4 times before exam! Hope this helps anyone!
OMG! you literally saved my time, I actually knew about this add-on before, but I never knew that I could group many tools in one card. Definitely worth trying, thank you!
Ive always find this helpful, if I don’t have time to make flash cards, all I do is convert every single slide into photos and use the markup function on iPad in photos. After I finish covering parts I start revising by pressing edit, and I uncover the parts while revising, after that I press cancel and it can be reused
@whooopsiesssssssss9770 yep I felt this works if you have a good memory for me I ought to write to remember so I wasn't able to cover all the topics in 2 days bcz the subject was too large I think I needed maybe a 5 days for it [it's about 60 p of pdf ]
im a chem major and have to take a biochem module this semester and this has been so helpful!! chem doesn't require a lot of memorisation but biology has been a pain and i just downloaded Anki today since I saw many biology majors using it. definitely gonna try out your technique!!
Good luck dude, I gave up on biology after 3 semesters because memorising tons of shit for every single class just isn't my strong suit. Loved my chemistry classes tho! Lol
I do something similar in two different ways depending on how much time I have. I'll make it short but in summary Method 1 (my common method): After each lecture I group slides that correspond to Learning Objectives that my professor has because at my school you can expect 2 questions from each lecture's learning objectives) then I would image occlude or group specific slides together as an answer on Anki. So say the learning objective was "know the causes and treatments for gastric ulcers" The front of my Anki card would turn that learning objective into a question then on the back I screenshotted the slides that answer it then when I review I try my best to remember key info from those slides by going over them once by glossing them over and just having a mental conversation with myself -> "Okay, so an ulcer is a breakdown of the gastric walls because of too much acid and less protective mucous/base and we can treat it with Pepto Bismol and PPI because they counteract these effects" I try my best not to recite the slides word for word because that's not really learning I basically paraphrase the slides into a condensed easy to say version Method 2 (least common but it's a lot more organized): Instead of going straight to screenshotting my slides and going to Anki. I'll condense the PowerPoint because the professor put way too many stuff that I know won't be tested or "over explains stuff" (you know what I'm talking about, that one prof who takes 5-6 slides to explain one concept when it could have just been easily said on one slide or a few sentences) onto a Word document. This is where I again take the Learning Objectives as the headers on my Word document, but instead of screenshotting or re-typing everything that my prof said on the slide, I'm cherry picking certain slides to screenshot or re-typing only stuff that clearly answers the Learning Objective (I can do this because at my school if they test on something that is NOT a learning objective the exam committee can see this and give us points back for the professor's mistake). What I find, is that when I do this it is annoying because I'm basically trying to organize the PowerPoint on how it should have been presented so that it's coherent (ugh) and that it takes longer to reviewing, but then I tend to do better when I do this like my grades show that this method tends to score me better marks because I'm processing the info a lot more by making a Word document of the learning objectives then answering them. I don't use this method all the time for the sake of time but if you have the speed to do this then I hope it helps (If I were a faster reader and type this would like be your best friend). Regardless, i prefer Method 1. Also, I do this thing with spaced repetition where I usually go into Custom study so I don't actually use the spaced repetition function often but yeah, when it's nearing the exam I actually reset the cards because if I don't when I press again it'll be like half a year that I'll see it again but I have a final in 2 months. So I kind of do spaced repetition in an unconventional way too.
Yes, but as pro hardcore slacker I have an even better lazy ass method (i crammed 4.5 months of 5 different modules in 3 weeks, and it was the first time i've actually read those lectures in my 3 week intense cramming (why? I have adhd+ too many hobbies and cramming always worked so it's a vicious cycle)). So use my method only as last resort To put it short: No anki ; I use excel. exemple: -I have immunology and 40 lectures (each of them bout 1h-1h30 real time class courses). - vertically: In column 1 to 40 with name of chapter. ex: 1/ lymphoid organs ... 4/ thymus .. to 40/. - horizontally: For the 1st view where I bulldoze through all the slides, I write nothing, in excel, but mark important slides and key points THAT I DONT KNOW, and . For the 2nd view , I try to remember as much as I can, especially key points, and after i've done this. I rollback and mark on excel the essential things I didn't know, and also pathologies and nouns that are usually hard to remember (also numbers) Exemple: 4/ thymus ---- digeorge --- pos and neg selection --- epith -- week fct And I go on doing all the 40 lectures and marking horizontally. -3rd lecture: I go straight to those points and my objective is to know as many of them. For the ones that I still don't know: I highlight them in yellow in excel. That way my mind will pay EXTRA attention (for forcing my brain to remember) when I read it. And I "anki" myself for the 40 lectures. AFTER, I'd start reviewing all lectures 1 to 40 and thanks to excel and yellow marking, my brain will pay extra attention during that reviewing. After that 3rd lecture, I should be exam ready. And I add a 4th lecture If I want to smash the exam. Whether or not I do that 4th review, I still review the "horizontal ankies" i've made before exam for that short term memory. Also worht mention after the 1st or 2nd lecture I check the questions from exam of last year to see what the professors are attacking us with.
After Making your cards, do you put your Anki setting on random order or go in order of slides within the lecture? I tend to miss big picture topics when using anki.
Hi Nathan😊 ..Feel Good to see your new video...my final class 11 exams are from 25 th ...and I have a lot of content to study ...SO I AM TENSED.. BUT ANYWAY I HAVE TO DO ...since I have to clear JEE exam next year...( JEE is a entrance exam for admission in IIT..in INDIA..)..So please wish me luck Nathan ..I really need that....😬🤓🥺
if you have a tex in book, with an iphone you can take a photo and select the text that you want and put it all in the flashcard. This spare a lot of time of writing sessions.
ahh thank you, this is so smart. i was always wondering why i didn’t need to do so many active recall sessions before the final but that’s because i was already doing them while making them. i wish i saw this earlier, but one more final to go!
Wha... wha.... I'll be honest, this is EXACTLY how I already make flashcards and study them , as doing cards daily is absolutely out of question when you have lectures which take almost half the day. The only difference I have is that I study the books and make notes in a summary form, and make cards out of them using image occulusion.
Nathan will doing your single day Spaced Repetition on my notes(including reviewing them before exams) make me rememer my notes forever and if yes then thanks for this your method(**Normal spaced repetition takes a long time to send information to my permanant memory**) and I will be greatful for your method anyways.
Me: *sees this video* Also me: *Just finished their last exam today* …Welp, this came a little late for me. Might as well watch it before I cry myself to sleep after long sleepless nights.
@@NathanWu if you cntrl + c from the preview panel on the left of the ppt it puts the slide in your clipbord then if you click on image occlusion it automatically loads the image/ppt slide from your clipbord. I prefer this way because I don’t have to search through folders to find images. It doesn’t save the image anywhere in your computer so if you like having a saved jpg version in a folder you might not like this :/
It's not about working smart or working hard but about what you're studying. If you just need the information for an exam and don't mind forgetting the next week, then this is perfect. But if you're learning languages like me and a pretty big portion of anki's users, spaced repetition is the way to go. It's important for adding vocabulary, grammatical structures, etc. to your long-term memory.
Hiii You forgot you said you'll pick me up for a coffee date:( Also today school was kinda god and bad I love uu I just got back from school and saw this and it made me very happy
wow!!! It's soooo incredible to watch your new video on my birthday!!! Best birthday gift = Nathan's learning method!!!! btw Happy Spring Festival!!! Start a brand new year with Nathan!!!!
nooo! it's too late - well kinda. I literally downloaded anki on sunday, today (tuesday) I had my finals. So on sunday I watched a couple of youtube turorials to understand it. It was ok learning with it for the final, but it somehow always showed the same questions and flashcards....doesn't matter. THANK YOU NATHAN for uploading this video! I will definitely start studying with anki more and use it for my other upcoming finals. HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!
thanks alot man ! i am having my medical school finals in 2 weeks , i have converted all my 5 modules lecture notes into flashcards , and guess what i have about 5k flashcards ! yes its insane but hey wish me luck guess i gotta cram anki religiously for the next 2 weeks , would u have any suggestions for the settings i can use for my anki for this 2 weeks ? thanks and expecting a response from you !
Heyy nathan i am a pre med student and the studies right now are 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈 so could you make a video for how to revise so many chapters Help a fellow health care student 😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much for posting this! It is currently a Saturday night and I have an exam first thing Monday morning at 9 AM. I have devoted so much time catching up for the content on this exam, that I've essentially neglected the content for my exam that I have this Wednesday at 9 AM. So I'm just trying to juggle between studying for these two exams and this video has been a complete game changer for teaching me how to properly use Anki in an effective way, because I'm coming to realize I've been using it wrong for so long. TLDR: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
hey man , my exam is in another 3 days and i would like to use this method , but the real question is , what settings did u use for this deck ? can u share the learning steps , max interval and so on ? or u just did all these in a filtered deck and crammed without rescheduling the cards ? would appreciate the response , thanks man !
Thanks for the video. Giving Anki a try with lectures have being familiar with formulas. I'm currently going into my second year of chemical engineering. Turning my lecture slides into Anki cards could be a chill way to start my morning or if I don't want to practice problems :)
@@NathanWu Yeah for sure, heaps of problem solving in engineering. Flash cards are for morning wake up study or chill study. Won't replace active problem solving :)
Before watching :- Super excited for the video!!!!!!💜💜 After watching :- As expected.....it was a GREAT video.... believe me..I will 1000% try this one too🤩
9:53 Sorry, but sometimes this just isn't the case. I've done this multiple times before where I leave out things I thought were "unimportant", only for the test to have questions that covered every single thing we went through and thus I didn't know the answers. Same with my brother, where he has a class that asks random questions from his textbook on very peculiar things that you would think were unimportant. So, it depends on the class - sometimes, you actually do need to know everything they teach you. You can't just always leave out flashcards due to your judgement.
Tbh minor details, even if they were tested on, I wouldn’t stress about it. It would maybe be 1-2 questions on the exam, and how I see it, I’d rather focus on topics that will have 10-15 questions on the exam
Omg hello I couldn't believe you when time the exam what should to do is prepare before exam better practice everyday reading or try make own question if a mistake answer take note and try to answer again 😂😂😂😂
finallyyy.. i found the perfect channel for me 😩 i’ve watched a lot of your videos & i just wanna say it’s really perfect for me because we have very similar study styles / methods. i’ve been eyeing these study apps but they’re all paid.. but seeing you use them, and us having similar study styles.. i get insight and they’re greeaaaat help so tysm 😭😭
My thought process before watching this upload: I have some exams coming up --> I should do something different since I didn't do so hot on the first round of midterms --> maybe I should try Anki (Nathan Wu pops into my brain since I associate Anki with you lol) --> maybe I can ask if he can... *NATHAN WU UPLOADS AN ANKI TUTORIAL* --> well I guess the universe felt my thoughts...and my exam grades LOL 😂 Thanks Nathan for the tutorial and tips! Gonna try this out forsure!
Omg I need this soo much right now!! I have a pharmacy exam next week which I have been revising for so long but nothing is sticking in my head and now I am here with 0 knowledge in my head I hope this helps!!! I am sooo scared for my exam!!
If that is how you are using Anki, then I would highly recommend getting an ipad, using notability and just draw over the sentence with a marker; use the erase tool to uncover the sentence/word to see if you properly recalled it. mark over the sentence in red if you couldn't recall it yet, then when you successfully understood and recalled the information, either keep it uncovered or mark it up with a yellow marker (rinse and repeat if you want more repetition). There are a few issues with using solely IO cards like that. First, the files can become HUGE which makes them a pain to send around. It's ok if it's like less than 50 cards per deck, but once it gets bigger, it can slow the app down and make syncing very sluggish. Second, you can't search for the words in the browse section; anki's UI is not that advanced yet, so if you want to use it as your all in one searching tool, then you should avoid IO for words as much as you can. The beauty of anki which makes it different from other apps (aside from the spaced repetion algorithm), is the way you can tag, cross-link and add extra information in each and every card. As a 2nd year medical student who has been using anki for about 3 years at this point (and does between 500-1000 cards a day), using cloze deletion is honestly the way to go imo. You will have all of the benefits of the IO technique (grouping pieces of information into 1 card) with the added bonus of it being lighter on your computers memory load. It can take just as little time as the IO method if you use keyboard shortcuts (download the godmode addon, it'll save you a LOT of time). Nowadays, since I'm studying for the USMLE/COMLEX, I don't make cards anymore since everything is premade, which is soooooo nice lol.
This deserves more attention. Writing these down with hand, even on a tablet, is way more effectively in recalling than just pressing spacebar and saying it out loud. I'm a big fan of Anki, but after trying the image occlusion method, I didn't find that I could recall information very well. I'm going to try your Notability method and see how useful it is.
Totally agree with you on the tagging and searching aspect, but not so much the cloze deletions. I pretty much used Nathan's single-day approach all through the pre-clinical part of med school, but I type out most of the cards instead, so that I still have the tagging/searching integration. It's a HUGE time suck, but I'm more actively processing the information, plus expecting myself to recall chunks of information in a logical and procedural way (as Nathan demonstrated), rather than just memorizing a cloze deletion. Of course, clozes might work for some students; I just find that they are not satisfying and do not facilitate long-term understanding of pathophysiology. Also yeah, app can get sluggish with images but it sounds like cloze-oriented students use premade decks like AnKing anyways, which also take eons to sync.
IT'S HEREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! lol sorry 😊thank you Nath♥ edit: I'm also a part of Rachel's Herd omg lol ps. yes I'm commenting as I watch the video lol😅
nathan came at the right time yet again - imma try and use this method even though my exam is like next next week lmfaoaooao .. i have too many subjects anyways THANKS NATHAN !!!!!!!!
What is the science behind your method and potentially your thinking behind this(Since I want to improve this method by adding breaks,spacing,focus method,*Intensity methods*(Made up name but you get them meaning) etc to that method(Mostly all the things that are proven by science to boost memory by(15%-60 percents) and some methods to shorten the time it takes to apply that improved method which you made,After which I will share that method in the comments with you along with its results because I want to help others but maybe only people who use spaced repetition and technques that give highet results listen to me).
My issue with Anki is, I hardly remember anything and have to hit the 15 mins selection to come back and because there are so many cards, none of it sinks in.
I have a question. I’m not in the health field, I’m transitioning into cybersecurity. Professor Messer has slides for his classes and i was just wondering if this will work for me. I’m trying get 3 certs in 6-8 months. I have practice tests but those flash cards in Anki aren’t helping me. I have to sit down and physically do the tests in 90 minutes to practice for the real test, not get questions through flash cards. I’m going to give this a try. When I go into Linux+ and pentest + I’ll make my own slides and import them into Anki. Also Ik this is for short term memory but I’m using it in conjunction with 9 practice tests so the information will literally be embedded in my brain.
for me that was pure clickbait. Your routine is not even close to unconventional. Its one of the biggest strategies for anki. Immage occlusion add on is the biggest anki add on and about 80% of anki users use anki addons so we can conclude that probably about 50% of all anki users use immage occclusion. And now guess how most students use the immage occlusion add on? Right screenshot their slides I dont know which anki routine is more popular than yours (except clozing everything or downloading stranger packs)
This can be really useful for medical sciences but for industrial / technical engineering we have to develop our answers and think beyond that. I don't think this is useful for us
