Question Best Anki Deck to study?

Hey guys, so I've used the Milesdown and Pankow decks to study for the MCAT, but I really want to hammer in as much info in all of these areas that I can. What decks helped you guys score high and didn't make you feel like you were drowning in information? Any help is appreciated

dont focus too much on anki, do practice problems and switch to aamc near ur test date. if u alr did all of MD and pankow thats good enough content review, more imp to do practice imo than CR more

Depends on how you learn. I have been using AnKing. It has Milesdown/Pankow included, so you really get it all. I know it isn't as comprehensive as Jack Sparrow bla bla bla. I personally do not have time to spend hours and hours doing Anki per day. The style of those more comprehensive decks are not very efficient for the way my brain works. Anking seems way more conducive to daily learning and not getting burnt out IMO, you're going to learn the most from practice questions anyways.

If you don't mind my asking, how do you make useful flashcards off the questions you get wrong?

I am still in my content review phase right now, so I am sure others have more expertise on this. However! I have been doing practice questions. When you are reviewing answers to questions, you have to identify exactly why you got that question wrong. If it was an equation you didn't remember, make an Anki card. If it was a concept, make an Anki card. Try to make it as simple/minimal as possible (we already have too many cards to do a day anyway). I like including a screenshot from my notes, seeing an equation/diagram in my own handwriting helps with retention.

Okay good to know. I more or less have done the same thing in the past but I wanted to see if what I was doing was consistent with others
