If you answered “good” and your second step was set to 1440 (1 day), you will see the card in 1 day.

4320 = if you hit “good” when you see the card the next day (1440 min), you will then see the card in 3 days.

40 to see it in 40 min instead of 15 min or 1 day.

The default is 10 minutes, but if I just watched a class lecture I don’t want to see the card that soon, so I set it to 1 day.

You should hit “good” for most cards unless you absolutely don’t know it.

Hitting “good” means your card moves to the next “step” and skips the first step of showing it to you in 15 minutes.

1440 = if you hit “good”, it will show the card to you the next day (1440 minutes is 1 day).

Generally, you do not want to hit this unless you absolutely cannot recall anything about the card.

So if you are reviewing a card that you already started learning, hitting “again” will bring it back to the first step and you have to go through all the learning steps again.

It’s also the first of the learning steps.

15 = if you hit “again”, you’ll see the card in 15 minutes again.

The minutes are WHEN Anki will show it to you. Steps (in minutes): These are learning “steps”, or the number of times Anki will show you the card before the card “graduates” (more on this below). In preparation for clerkships, I set mine to the above, but I think you can use the same settings for class and Step 1 studying during dedicated as well.

You’ll need to tweak your settings based on how quickly you forget information. Anki Settings My current settings to show you as an example. I didn’t watch B&B except for Immunology, so you should look into it if this sounds interesting to you! But I do know that the Anking Deck contains B&B cards with tags.

The Anking Step 1 Deck! This is the ONLY DECK you will need for class and boards studying. Important not just for class and boards, but on the wards as well! Which pre-made deck should I use? The whole purpose of spaced repetition is LONG-TERM RETENTION and active learning/recall. It shows you cards depending on when it thinks you will forget it soon. Spaced repetition, which means Anki will show you flashcards repeatedly, but spaced out over time, based on when the algorithm thinks you forget them. It is NOT just for Step 1, but overlaps with class material as well.

If you’ve been reading my posts, you know that I love the Anking Step 1 Deck (which is a spinoff of the famous Zanki deck). How do I make my own cards?ĭo NOT make your own cards! It is WAY TOO TIME CONSUMING! Use a pre-made deck. But even then, it can still be confusing to use, which is why I included only what you need to know here without the extra details. All my knowledge came from spending HOURS of watching the Anking Med’s videos for DAYS.
