What's going on guys!
Jay here from MedSchoolInsiders.com.
This is the second part of the Anki video tutorials, we're gonna go over image occlusion
as an alternate for ten questions, how to cram before your test and using Anki on your
mobile device.
So, first, let's install the image occlusion plug-in.
What you're going to do is go to tools, add-ons, browse and install.
And there's a code.
I'm gonna put this in the description.
This will automatically download and install the plugin, they make it really easy to do.
My plugin is already installed, therefore I'm not going to restart.
So, to add a card using the image occlusion plug-in: you're gonna go to add and then this
is the new button that'll show up.
This is to open up the actual plugin.
And now, it automatically populated this image because I took a screenshot and this was on
my clipboard.
But you can also drag and drop images.
Now, select the rectangle tool or whichever shape you want and start blocking the parts
you want to quiz yourself on.
Now, for each rectangle I'm drawing, it's creating a new card.
So it should actually add these to my deck.
There's two options; non overlapping and overlapping.
Non overlapping is gonna blank out everything at once and quiz you on just one item.
So let me show you what that looks like.
So, when you quiz yourself, everything else is blanked out, so you can't use the rest
of your image as context.
So, now I'm going to show you what overlapping looks like.
So again, I'm going to draw a rectangle over the parts I wanna quiz myself on.
Another neat trick, if you want to quiz yourself on two items at once, what you can do is select
both with shift and press this group elements button.
And now both of these will pop up at the same time.
So, before I showed you non-overlapping, let me show you what overlapping looks like.
So, now all the other boxes that I drew are already uncovered and it's only covering the
one that is quizzing me on.
So this is more useful for things like pathways whereas the other option is more useful for
anatomy.
So, here with the grouping option, I'm able to quiz myself on two items which are separated
in space.
Next up, I want to show you how to do last-minute cram studying.
So let's say your test is tomorrow and you want to go through all your cards very quickly,
this is gonna help you out.
This is what you should be doing before your test.
Now there's a couple ways to do this, one; you can actually just go to your deck, hit
custom study and study by card state or tag.
And so, for your test, let's say you have a deck that has a hundred cards, you can do
all cards in random order, this is called cram mode.
And now, all of the cards from that deck will be in this custom study session.
So now you can go through all your cards before your test, and I'm gonna empty this deck,
I'm going to show you another way to do this.
So now when you empty the - they go back to the original deck they came from.
Another way to do this is to go to 'create filtered deck' and you can search.
So let's say I want to do in the deck medschoolinsiders.com, and I want to do let's say 10 cards based
on 'order added'.
Rescheduling cards based on your answers in this deck will actually affect how you review
it in your home deck, so I'm going to deselect that.
When you build now I have these ten cards and again, I can just review these for my
test.
So, two quick points guys, I recommend you make your own cards because it's part of the
active learning process and also when you create and review these cards, you're gonna
understand them much better than if someone else made them and uses their own shorthand
or their own methods.
And then second - some people have asked about using it on their mobile device.
So, for the iPhone, the app is actually $25 which is pretty pricey.
For the Android, it is free.
So anyways, the price is steep, so I recommend you first use the free computer program and
then try the paid iPhone app if you decide it's worth it for you.
I've been using the ANKI app on my phone, $25, just a one-time fee for years and it
was definitely worth it in my book.
Alright guys, that's it for this video.
I'm trying to make these videos short and to the point, high-yield, not really waste
your time, so let me know what you think of the format.
