To start using Anki (I assume you’re using the AnKing deck because why wouldn’t you), you’re going to consume third party content. These are mostly videos, but sometimes it can be book chapters or other things.
For the sake of this we are going to assume you followed my Anki setup guide perfectly and just watched your first Boards and Beyond video (congrats!). In this case, you watched the BnB video on gluconeogenesis.
Start by hitting browse at the top of your anki homescreen to go view all the cards in your decks
That should bring you to the picture below
Now you will hit the arrow on the left next to tags to open them all. Tags are how the cards are identified as being related to the videos you watch.
Now that you’ve opened the tags, you only need to worry about the tag headed #AK_Step1_v11 (mine says V12 don’t worry about that)
You’re an M1, don’t worry about any other tags right now.
Now because you watched the BnB gluconeogenesis video, you’re going to look under the AK_Step1_v11 section to find the cards associated with that video.
So at this point you’ve hit the little drop down arrow next to Step 1 tagged cards to show the subtags
Then you hit the arrow next to BnB for the same reason
Because that video is a biochem BnB video, you’re going to hit that arrow to show all the biochem videos
Great! You found the gluconeogenesis video tag. These cards (57 of them) are the cards you need to do to study the gluconeogenesis video/concept.
Now that you selected the tag with those cards, you’ll click on one, press command A (ctrl A for PC) and command J (ctrl J for PC) to select all those cards and unsuspend them. Once they’re unsuspended they should look like this when you click on the tag again
And when you go back to your home screen it should look like this (just the part with the 57 AnKing cards. Ignore my other decks)
Now you’re ready to study those cards!
Repeat this process for every third party resource video you watch/book you read that has associated tags. Not every resource has tags, but lots do, so go for it!
The strength of Anki is that it repeats flashcards for you every x days depending on how hard any given card is for you to remember, so get on every day and do your review cards to remember the content for the block.
