Old milesdown + Anking (behavorial)

I currently have Anking but wanted to add milesdown just because I am on a time crunch to get through cards faster. Everytime I try to add milesdown it doesn't integrate into the my deck, is this because the cards are duplicate or mirroring the Anking deck? My approach was to use Anking mainly for the behavioral section and the rest of my anki review through Milesdown.

Jack sparrow in one month?

Can I do jack sparrow in one month if all I do is Anki and the section off UEarth questions on lighter days or do Uearth after the one month of Anki (and continue Anki alongside uearth)? Followed by AAMC after Uworld?

Aidan Errors Thread

Mods can take this down if this isn’t allowed but trying to start a thread for noticed errors in the Aidan deck. I’ll start with the Maslow’s hierarchy card of love and belonging and self esteem being the 2 psychological* not physiological needs

Anki deck

What is the most comprehensive and useful Anki deck for the MCAT? I have the Miles Down Anki deck, but for some reason, mine is not comprehensive, quite short, and misses a lot of concepts. Is there an Anki deck that is more comprehensive and aligns well with the Kaplan book? If so, could you please provide the link?

MileDown by UWorld unit?

Hi all,

I've been using the UWorld books for my content review and the MileDown deck for maintenance. I know of MileDown versions organized by Kaplan chapter or Khan Academy topic, but is there one organized by UWorld chapter? Thanks!

Need help on Anki for MCAT (New Card Setting)

Hey guys! I set my new cards limit to 25 when I started studying, using the MD deck. However, each section that I un-suspend contains more than 25 cards. My reviews are set to 9999, but it feels like I am unlocking cards too slow. It seems like my Anki is revealing new cards sequentially as I’ve unlocked them. For example, I am a couple days removed from studying Memory and Cognition, but the only new cards that I am getting are still from memory and cognition. I am starting to increase my new card limit to 50-100.

I would rather have it that Anki gives me new cards in random order so that I don’t go thru stretches where I am studying the same content because Anki is giving me the cards in the order that I unlocked it. Is the solution to increase my new card limit or is there a better way?

Who uses Anki for MCAT?

Hi guys! I'm thinking about writing my dissertation on the different resources students use to prepare for the MCAT and their effectiveness. I can't find specific numbers on how many students use the Anking deck, so you'd do me the biggest favor by filling out this quick poll. Thanks so much!!!

Confused about MileDown card

https://preview.redd.it/io6wjzezfl1e1.png?width=1428&format=png&auto=webp&s=dcc0d680320bbbb760e5c600d11e5aa1999c3a94

Was reviewing this card and it was confusing in the sense that I thought PTH was mainly controlling phosphate (via PCT) and calcium levels, not really potassium. Can anyone shed light on this? I tried searching it up but there wasn't really a clear answer.

I didn't see it in the MileDown correction thread either unless I'm blind.

Aidan/ Kaplan Anki

Hey everyone!

Does anyone who currently uses the Aidan deck know if it coincides with the Kaplan books?

I’m on the fence about whether to get the Kaplan/U world books, but I definitely would consider getting the Kaplan books if the Aidan deck has cards of content in chapters that go along with the content in the book.

Thanks guys!

Aidan Anki Deck file size too large for iPad?

I am trying to download Aidan’s Anki deck on my iPad Anki app and every time I try to import it says the file size is too big. I looked in their library and it isn’t there either. Is it possible to find subdecks for Aidan’s deck or do I just need to use a computer?

Review Ahead or Let them go until the next day?

Quick question. If you have some Anki cards left over to do at night, is there any harm in letting them roll over into the next day's session, or should I review ahead and always get them done that same night?

Sorry if this doesn't make sense lol
