 If you hate studying with flashcards, here's what you should do. Now I know in medical school using flashcards was a very go-to way to study, especially using tools like Anki or Quizline, but I know for a lot of students the process of making flashcards and going through them actually takes longer with less retention than if they were to use a different technique. By no means should you feel forced to use a study method just because you see your classmates doing so. So here's what you should be focused on doing instead. Simply look at your lecture source, your PowerPoint slides, or your syllabi chapters and start to ask, what questions would I want to be able to master before test or quiz time? A simple shift of understanding that the most important thing is identifying the questions allows you to go to any study strategy. You can do something as simple as having a word doc with all the questions from a specific lecture or in the common section of your PowerPoint slide, you could add the questions that you need to be mastered and the answers would be essentially in that chapter or on that slide. Now the next most important step is just going through the repetition. So if you took you longer to actually make the flashcards, you could have used that time to actually just getting through the repetitions with the answer nearby. Now a full video breakdown for any of you guys that hate using flashcards and Anki on exactly how to study, so if you guys are interested make sure to hit that like, subscribe, and follow to know when that YouTube video goes live.
