New MCAT Anki Decks
When I was studying for the mcat last year I found anki way too passive and my ADHD brain could not stay focused. I was doing 200+ cards everyday but when I took my FLs they made anki feel like I was wasting my time. I was an anki expert (if mcat was tested like anki, it’d be an easy 528!) but my FLs were never above a 509. So I converted all the miledown, pankow, and jacksparrow cards into MCQs. I had two objectives in mind:
- You never see the same question twice so you don't subconsciously memorize the sentence structure and answer
- Each anki card has three types of questions: 1st order, 2nd order, and 3rd order.
Ex: For this anki card
Here are a set of 1st, 2nd, 3rd order:
The first order questions are gonna be almost always the same, just phrased differently with slightly different answer choices to get rid of rote memorization.
Second order are gonna test understanding by asking you how/why/what is the significance of, etc
Third order are always gonna test outcomes, application in experiments, and different scenarios.
Progression
All cards start as new (first order) if you answer correctly next time you see the card it will be second order (learning) then third order (graduated).
Answering a card incorrectly will move it back down an order with a new question (to avoid memorizing the previous question)
With the help of my mcat friends we wrote and tested over 3 prompts for each miledown, jacksparrow, and Mr pankow card (total of 33,000! and took us 9 months) so please leave an upvote and share with friends! We’re excited to have released this!!!
Please leave a comment saying interest if you'd want to use this and I'll follow up with an invite.
