1 “How do I choose answer buttons for New Cards?” This is also why I recommend letting relevance determine deck creation. I found from experience that this kind of interleaved practice not only leads to stronger retention, but also helps you dissolve boundaries between subjects. What this does is make the questions show up in a “shuffled” way. The advantage in setting this number is that when the Anki algorithm kicks in, future intervals will be based on this number. My rationale here is to have a graduating interval that is a bit longer than 2x the last one - so we’re essentially just continuing the spaced intervals we set in the learning steps. The next two numbers determine the intervals when you press “Good”.Īnd like the tab says, all of these only apply to New Cards. So the first number is actually the number of minutes the card will show up again if you pressed “Again”. This means that pressing Again shows the card in 10 minutes and pressing Good would show the card after 1 day, then after you press “Good” on that, you’ll see it again after 3 days. The Learning steps setting is set to 10m 1d 3d. Otherwise, you only get fragmented, useless retention that cannot be used as an activated semantic context.įor the New Cards, I recommend these settings: But take note that this can only be true if you have encoded what you’ve learned before making flashcards. Retention of past knowledge makes future learning easier. So you need to retrieve them in order to make them stronger - at least, before they fade into oblivion when more complex concepts are still far ahead. New information lacks depth, and should therefore be studied immediately. With that said, I will also share with you the underlying concepts (and provided supplementary materials) so you can tweak them on your own. Once you use these settings I’m going to give you, you’ll be able to avoid these two problems right away so you’ll have a smooth review experience every single time. Going back to the first problem, sometimes Anki would have you review an old card as if it were a new card the moment you lapse on that card. Some settings just don’t make sense at all.Newer cards don’t get reviewed as frequently, and older cards start back to zero when you’ve lapsed even partially. The default intervals (both for new and older cards) give a really poor review experience.That’s because in my experience, there are two problems to the default settings: Why? Because I want you to be able to think for yourself so you can adapt the settings to your own situation. That’s because I don’t only want you to have “ready-made” templates, but also a complete understanding of how the advice I’m giving you works. In this lesson, you’re going to learn my recommended Anki settings and how settings work in a more practical manner. When you create good flashcards + use these settings I’m going to show you, the answer is approximately 5 successful repetitions. How many repetitions do you think you need to be able to remember an idea for 3 months? I hope you like it! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback - I'd like to hear what you think! □ But it would be really strange if no-one else had encountered this problem, as I lose data quite frequently due to this, unfortunately.Hi, this is Lesson 4 of 4 in the Anki Fundamentals free course. But as even simpler step, I'm not sure whether I can help reproduce the bug. E.g., when clicking on an already open card, an info message would be displayed. So I would really love a feature which blocks double-editing of the same card. I believe that some kind of concurrency issue leads to a weird bug in which the content of one card is replacing that of another one. when browsing through or even if having one card open and doing a search in another browser window which by accident only yields the same result as the card already open. Sometimes I will accidentally have the same card open, e.g. I have a lot of material to cover, and during learning, editing, adding often need to have 6-10 browser windows open. In principle an awesome and extremely relevant addon to make Anki usable, but I suspect it is responsible for data loss.
