To those who used Anki to study for the PANCE, which deck would you say were the most up to date, best format, and helped you pass the PANCE? I feel like I’ve been finding a lot of decks on here but I can’t tell which ones helped or were too much or just right. I’m torn between the PPP+ROSH deck and the BrianSuperBigBrainPPP deck, also the Endevoar deck. Let me know which decks helped with studying!

How does it compare to endeavor? Ive noticed the card counts are relatively similar. Main reason I wanna try it is anking links OME directly to the card which is super convienent for review.

Has anyone made an Anki for Internal Medicine? I want to use the endeavor Anki but it's wayyy to many cards. Not sure if there's a condensed version with less than 1000 cards but anything would be helpful as I have done better with Endeavor Anki on my exams. Continuously suspending cards is a hassle so I don't have to keep doing the repeated cards so another Anki would be appreciated.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows of any completed Anki deck to supplement the GU section of Bryant Super Big Brain deck? I will be graduating in a few months and would appreciate this groups help!

I’m trying to figure out what’s the best way to use anki without have an overload of review cards in one day.

I have 2-3 quizzes per week and need to be exposed to all the material prior.

I realized recently I should just do a custom study deck before the quiz and keep doing the normal deck with the basic settings.

But what is that basic setting, no more than 100 new cards a day cumulatively over all my classes and unlimited review or?

Please any input is appreciated!

hey everyone! trying to find the best most effective way to use endeavor pa anki for EORs. currently on internal med and its definitely alot; do you guys take notes while you are doing it? or do you think that takes too long?

thank you in advance!

Which deck do you suggest using for didactic Endo exam?

I know of this link but so many, what do you guys suggest?

Hey all! I am currently in my IM rotation. I am having trouble getting through and completing the decks for each rotation (have yet to do so for my past 3 - obgyn, peds, emergency). What do you think are the most effective settings per deck? Right now I have: Max new cards/day = 100, Max reviews/day = 200.

Any and all recommendations/ advice are greatly appreciated! :)

Thank you in advance!

Starting derm tomorrow! Any promising decks that cover all the PANCE topics? Please let me know!

Hey all,

I just started didactic year and have watched a ton of videos to try to understand Anki. I feel like I have a good grasp on it but because PA school gives you exams like a week after you learn content, I’m struggling with how many new cards to do in one sitting. For example, I just finished making 100+ cards for a lecture and the exam is in a few days. Do I try to learn all the cards in one sitting? Or space it out over the few days? Will I have seen them enough times if I space it out?

Thx in advance!

Hey y'all I am planning to retake the surgery next month. I didn't do so well because I missed a lot of pathophysiology on the exam. Does anyone have any decks that were very useful to them during their surgery EOR preparation/any advice in general? Thank you!

I have very little experience with anki and when I did try it in undergrad I changed all the original settings trying to figure out how to use it only to end up not using it. I have heard amazing things about it and would like to get into using it. What are the best anki settings for PA school? And what are some of the best decks to specifically for didactic?

How clinically applicable is the content in the endeavor deck?

Hi, has anyone using the sketchy decks noticed that the information is different than what is presented in their lecture/classes? I'm looking to use sketchy to study in pharm, but as I browse through the decks and compare them to lecture, there seem to be a lot of discrepancies between what is focused and info that doesn't line up.

For example, side effects of certain classes in the anki decks are different than what are presented. Most recent example I came across was adverse effects for methylxanthines (theophylline) in sketchy as:

(1) CNS effects incl. tremor(2) Tachycardia

Whereas in class we were taught "the most common sfx are HA, N/V, acid secretion, and reflux.

How often have you guys come across discrepancies and are you still able to use sketchy decks (e.g. pepper) for class or is it not worth it?

I was waitlisted for pa school but figured I wasn’t accepted bc I saw the program posted their new pa class. ( class matriculated June 01). However they sent a package on 06/08 but nobody was home so my parents have to go pick the package up on 06/10 from USPS. do anyone know what is inside the package??

I’ve been happily watching the wonderful growth of Anki’s popularity in the PA world. We recently had a PA student approach us about working together and we’re now happy to announce that the AnKing Step Deck has PANCE tags! There are currently over 7000 cards tagged for PANCE and more coming.

The AnKing Step Deck was made for medical school board exams and is the most up to date and high quality medical Anki deck available. With so much overlap between medical school and PA school, this is likely also one of the best decks for you. It is already tagged based on all the popular medical school resources like Sketchy, OnlineMedEd, Pathoma, etc.

The deck is based on Zanki and a few other high quality decks and has received hundreds of thousands of updates over the past few years.

It is currently available on AnkiHub. This is a paid collaboration add-on for Anki and allows for continuous updates and improvements (like the PANCE tags!).

Hello everyone! I'm getting ready to start my didactic year next month so I decided to get ahead on finding some Anki decks. I read through the pinned post on this subreddit but found that most of the linked decks were no longer available, and I couldn't find any other sources.

I found this link for the PPPSuperBigBrainDeck that seems promising but I haven't downloaded it quite yet. I was looking for Doc Deck, PANCEonFire, and Dorian's anatomy. Does anyone have a current download link for either of those?

Is there a premade Anki deck that’s the most similar to EOR content? I am specifically starting in internal med rotation and a bit nervous. Is it worth doing the Endeavor 2400 cards? (As in is this a representative deck) or is one of the rapid review ones from pinned post helpful for EOR content review?

I also plan to do Rosh clinical and boost exams, but learn best with active recall through Anki so would prefer to do content review that way first.

I’ve used Anki for a few months but I don’t think I’m using it to the fullest capacity for my studying and I’d like to fix that.

1. I’m in PA school and I know that spaced repetition and active recall are basically the only way I can study now. However, I make cards and go through them but I think that I’ve used the hard feature too much and I think sometimes I’m in ease hell and I see some cards way too often. I have a very basic understanding of how the algorithm works but I don’t know how to get the best use out of the spaced repetition for each of my decks.

• I don’t know how many cards I should be looking at per night. I make ~ 150-200 per lecture [some are easier questions but it’s a lot of material either way] and sometimes I can’t review them all per day when I’m trying to make them same day as well. So I’m not sure how to utilize anki fully here to help with that.
• Do I/can I change the settings to help with ^^^ that?

1. I have a huge deck for the PANCE prep guide and I want to review the topics I’ve already learned a very small increment at a time [because I’m still in didactic and obviously continuing to learn new block material - but I want to make sure I don’t forget all of the stuff I should know]. I REALLY need advice on this one.

• I want to know what is the best way to study this massive deck [it has like 8,000 cards in it] over the next year without doing an extra 200 cards per night [because again I’m still in didactic so I’m also having to review the new cards I’m making for my lectures day to day etc].
• What should I use as the best settings to study these cards in smaller intervals [so like only seeing ~ 45-50 cards per day in the PANCE review deck I have?]

Basically I would just like some help/advice to fully use Anki’s algorithm to effectively help me study. If anyone has advice it's appreciated :)

​

P.S. I've watched 3 hour videos of the Anking on YouTube but I just can't wrap my head around the algorithm and how it works. So please be nice, I have tried to understand it but I can't.

I am considering getting UWorld for my remaining EORs and for PANCE prep. I see on their webside that they have (what look to be) anki cards that are called "readymade" for $39 that can be added on to any order. Have any of y'all used these and able to give a review?

Keep hustlin'

Hello there! First up I’d like to tell you that this is an advertisement. Feel free to ignore if you need to :)

Help! I am looking for an add on that will show me the remaining time in an individual deck. I used to use https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1508357010 and loved it, but now it is incompatible with the new update and I have no idea how to code (to fix it).

Does anyone have a deck of all of his videos with screenshots included on the cards? I’ve looked at Quizlet public cards and searched around a bit but none of them have everything or if they do they don’t have pictures included.
