How To REALLY Use Anki (USMLE Prep)

Literature showing just how LEGIT Anki is: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
Insta/Snap: prerakcity...
In this video, I go over how all students should use Anki and its various features. This is much more of a general overview, but I hope you find it helpful.
Download link for anki is here: www.google.com/search?q=anki+...

    Some useful shortcuts: Making subdecks w/o having to drag (incase you use the web version, or app) - If the parent deck in this case is "Neurobiology" and your subdeck name is "Week 1", you should make the "Neurobiology" deck first, then for the subdeck "Week 1::Neurobiology". Using the double colon, "::" is used throughout Anki. For example in cloze deletion you can use the double colon after your hidden answer to provide a hint. So in the case of "What is the powerhouse of the cell? {{c1::mitochondria::organelle}}". When you see the card, it'll appear as "What is the powerhouse of the cell? [organelle]" other keyboard shortcuts include ctrl+enter to submit a card when you're done making a card, ctrl+shift+c to add a cloze blank (substitute "command" for mac's), when in review mode: spacebar to flip/reveal card, hit 1(hard), 2(good), 3(easy) to rate a difficulty (I believe spacebar auto-defaults to 2 as well, when you have to rate it)

In order to solve this please follow these steps: in an empty cloze card, add a new field and name it "extra" close the card and go to the main anki window and go to "tools" select "manage note types " select "cloze " select "choose cards " at the bottom center choose "add field" change field from "text to extra" change "add to": from "front to back" Press ok and try and see if works
