My question is how to study for the real world, studying for university and school was easy. How do you effectively learn in real life, in my case programming. I find that my brute force studying method of taking notes(written in my own words) from the books, courses and documentations along with practice isn't very efficient. I'm even employed and if anything I was learning far more when I didn't have a job, but now that I do I need to learn how to learn quickly and efficiently.
I have started the preparation for a competitive exam this year, have been your sub for years now, it is the most perfect timing to learn more of anki. Thanks Ali, you will be building lives with this one🎉🎉
you have helped me unlock the beauty of life and productivity.I will try to help others do the same.This i think will be the ultimate way to say thank you for your efforts.
Wannabe hyper-Class entrepreneurs right ! I want to let him the benefit of the doubt and am hoping for once he sincerely wants to give back to community and help those that he was once part of, the students, the plebs. Hoping I'm not too optimistic / naïve.
I'm refining my study strategy after a two-year break from uni, searched for "Anki", looking particularly for content that you shared - what a joy to find out you've posted this masterclass just two days ago! Thank you!!! 🤓
I've learned more from your channel in a month than I have in years of self-improvement. Your practical tips and strategies have transformed my life, boosting my productivity and focus. You're the best!😊❤😊
Flashcards are great if you prepare them progressively as you encounter the material, and study a bit every day. I don't know what your timing is like, but when it's time to study for your exams, it's already too late to implement flashcards.
Amazing!!! Every time you are able to surprise us. It is not just a course on how to use the program but how to use it in the most efficient way! Thank you
I am so grateful that you posted this masterclass for free. I am about to start a rigorous ABSN program and need all the study tools! I will definitely be using Anki from now on. Thank you so so much!!!
This was fucking amazing. I've been unregularly using Anki for a while, and i was able to skip to the chapters that were most relevant to me, and i learned ALOT! Thank you so so so much for making this free and accessible. Lots of love ❤
Anki is amazing, I wish I knew about it when I started college, would've saved me lots of time and effort! + I just found that Sydney isn't Australia's capital, I have lived in the darkness my whole life!
TTS (text to speach) is the super-puper add-on ! not only essential for language learning, but in general, as you can review cards without looking on the screen.
I watch TH-cam videos and listen to podcasts on subjects I want to learn about, but thank you for the tip of anki, There was a flash card app that I download it when I was studying.
i just started high school and i was struggling so much with urdu, watching this and using what it showed me helped me out a ton and i went from an f to a b TYSM♥♥
Found your evidence based study tips when I was in undergrad (great timing), then you moved onto really helpful real world useful videos once I finished uni (also great timing), and right as I get accepted into a Masters degree and was thinking of starting using your Google sheets active recall method but was also considering Anki last night (I'm in Tokyo right now), you upload this (again immaculate timing). You are a legend Ali 🤝
this course was made before FSRS. most people nowadays use the FSRS algorithm since it's way better at estimating your retention. This can be turned on in the settings if you scroll to the bottom. I just see a lot of people going to the settings chapter of the video which is outdated ://
True. Also, the "Review Sort Order" setting should be set to "Ascending Difficulty," which has been tested to be the best sort order for dealing with a backlog of cards, and the sort order has been shown to not matter anyways for decks that don't have a backlog.
@@roninyeagerist4152 I am a beginner too they are talking about the best setting for anki section of the video which doesn't have FSRS. FSRS is Free spaced repetition schedular and is supposed to be more effective than the regular algorithm SM-2
I'm making something like this, but it looks much better, sharing/picking packs is much easier, and there is no card overload, and you can explain the answer in your own words. I'll be launching a beta in like two weeks' time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Anki fan, I've been using it since my first year at university. But in the last 6 months I've switched to Flashka and honestly, it's been a game changer. It has all the same features (spaced repetition, flashcard editing, image occlusion, etc) and uses a similar SM2 algorithm, but the best part is that I can automatically generate flashcards from my professors' slides. It's like having premade decks directly from your professor, usually I also edit them directly in class as I take notes while tweaking the premade flashcards :)
@@Phylumspongella it's free if you don't care about the advertisements on the home page but I think there's a pop up with the app and ends up being 50% off so like $40 or something? idk! I think its worth it if you're going to actively be using active recall and spaced repetition for the year
Lol, finally he has released this video. I have been asking him for a while now. Looks like he read my comment somewhere. I love you Man. Thanks you so much. 🙌🏽
Thank you so much for this! I really wanted to like Anki, but didn't understand why it would only let me study 20 cards per day when I needed to go over a 100, lol. I changed the settings and I'm so excited to unitilize Anki for my Spring semester!
I downloaded Anki but didn't know how the algorithm worked or how I could make it useful, as I'm preparing to get into a med school, this is exactly what I needed. I won't be doing flashcards right now, as it needs time to build the system, but so helpful after I get into med school truely thank you, Ali.
@@renavwissen7817 there are but self made are best cuz they are acc to your need and knowledge. we can take some help but can't depend on it, as it can be overwhelming.
Anki shortcuts: Spacebar: Flip to the back side of a card. 1 key: Record a "Fail" response to a card. 2 key: Record a "Hard" response to a card. 3 key: Record a "Good" response to a card. 4 key: Record an "Easy" response to a card. Ctrl + Enter: Add selected card to deck. R: Replay audio. X: Delete selected card. Ctrl + Shift + D: Duplicate selected card. Ctrl + S: Save changes. Ctrl + Z: Undo.
So good this is now free, and so nostalgic too!! Thank you very much. However, I guess a lot of us are now FY1/2 or above... and I wonder how these principles apply now when studying for your specialty, taking into account that there's not gonna be an exam "soon". You have to just study to know facts for your clinical practice. Maybe a video about that asking colleagues or old friends? I would very much appreciate it
You are literally an inspiration for everyone, at this point most of the videos I like are your videos. I do have a recommendation - "WATCH THIS TO RESET YOUR LIFE BY PRODUCTIVITY"
I think you can use Google Sheets to make flashcards in CSV format and import them into Anki. I used Gemini to generate questions and answers in table format then I exported them into a Google sheet, downloaded them as CSV, and then imported them and I found it is pretty good
Justin sung isn't against using anki. He's just against using it as your only study technique but he still recognises that it is useful. Ali even talks about some of the points Justin makes against anki like it being mainly a memorisation tool for facts and not for understanding whole concept, flashcard overload, recognising the flashcard instead of recalling information
@ yea but I think it’s highly effective if you stop seeing Anki as a memorisation tool but rather a SRS tool? Use it to schedule certain topics, technical stuff like math, coding problems, you can remember the procedural knowledge that is completely new to u. If it’s a hard math problem you couldn’t figure out without looking at the answers, u can anki the question to test urself on the understanding and mode of thinking behind that qn. I rmber one of the TH-camrs said this about anki once u start looking at it from a SRS perspective, it’s life-changing. again don’t anki anything u don’t understand obviously
@@kelvinmontage9001 Anki is a memorisation tool because of SRS and active recall which hijacks the forgetting curve and boosts retention. SRS by itself doesn’t lead to a deeper understanding of concepts which is why they say Anki is a tool for memorisation. I think most people viewed Anki as SRS and active recall app and that’s why people promote it over apps like quizlet which are more used for cramming as it doesn’t have SRS.
@@kelvinmontage9001 Justin sung and Ali Abdaal study advice does seem to be more tailored towards declarative and conceptual subjects like medicine rather than procedural subjects like math where you learn a lot by doing
