A lot of you have asked in my prior videos to show how to make the 10 question format.
So, in this video, I want to show you the quick and easy way to make this custom format.
What's going on guys!
This is Jay from MedSchoolInsiders.com.
So, first open up your Anki app.
We're gonna create a new card, so I go up to 'add'.
The type of card is gonna be ten questions which will be a new type.
So click 'basic' hit 'manage' hit 'add' and call it 'ten questions'.
Close that window.
Select the ten questions and hit 'choose'.
Now we need to actually define the fields.
So hit the 'fields' button and the front we're gonna rename to 'A' for answer and we're gonna
change the back to Q1 for question one.
Add additional fields for each question.
So I recommend you do ten but you can do as many as you'd like.
Once you've added all the additional fields, you can close this window.
Now you need to define the actual behavior.
So let's go to cards.
So we want to switch the front and the back because what we're doing is each of these
fields is gonna serve as the question and this is gonna be the answer.
Now normally, it's the opposite way in Anki.
So, press the flip button down here and up here it should say Q1.
This is for card one.
Press this plus button on the top right for card 2.
So go through and add additional fields for each card.
So, this is Q3 etc.
Once you've added all the additional cards, press the close button on the bottom right.
Now here you go, the ten questions is setup.
Now, as you remember from that initial Anki card video, you can essentially take a screenshot
of whatever you'd like.
So now just to show you very briefly again how it works; I have an image here of the
carotid artery branches, I'm going to drag it into the answer field and as for the questions,
I like to use Skitch.
Now, similarly I can just go in and blur out whatever I'd like, copy that and paste it,
and just keep going down.
So, there you go, these are - this is the answer card right here and these are each
of the questions that are going to show up and I've blanked out one branch at a time.
This is just one example of how to use it, I honestly would probably blank out all of
them because there's no point just memorizing one branch at a time, you want to know all
of them.
You want to be able to recall all of them in order, so this is just an illustration.
I'm gonna tag this as anatomy, hit add, close the window and now when we press on the deck
and study it, this is the question card and this is the answer card etc.
Alright guys, so again that was just one method of using Anki, that's using the ten question
method.
There's another plugin called the Image Occlusion plug-in which a lot of you guys will probably
prefer.
It's a little bit newer and has more flexibility and power to it than this ten question template,
so pick whichever one you like and just stick with it.
I think they're both fine options, I think the Image Occlusion is a little bit more powerful.
I actually prefer to use that but for some of you, I know you may prefer the old fashioned
method of using ten questions.
