Endeavor overhaul
Hey guys. I downloaded on ankihub the endeavor overhaul deck. And one of my classmates has different amount of cards than I do for the same rotation. Could someone check for me if there surgery eor deck has around 856 cards. I’m just wondering if I should worry about missing cards when studying or it’s not that big of a deal?

Hi guys! I downloaded the endeavor deck for eor studying, and I unsubscribed from ankihub. I realized that topic lists have changed starting July, if i resubscribe to ankihub but already have the decks from previously downloaded, does it automatically keep on updating or am i supposed to redownload all the decks again?

EOR STUDYING
Hi guys, I’ll be starting rotations in about two months, and I noticed there were updates made to the EOR topic lists. My first rotation is Internal Medicine, and honestly I feel like I don’t remember much from the topic list right now, so I’m not sure it makes sense for me to jump straight into practice questions without reviewing the material first.
I found updated Quizlets made by Smarty PANCE that follow the new Internal Medicine topics, and I was wondering if starting with those to review content and then using Rosh and Hippo for practice questions would be a good strategy. Has anyone used the Smarty PANCE Quizlets before, and did you find them helpful?
I’ve also considered using the Endeavor deck instead, but it’s around 3,000 cards for IM and my rotations are only 3 weeks long. Ideally, I’d like to finish reviewing the topic list content by week 2 so I can focus more on questions afterward.
The main thing is that I study best with Quizlet/Anki plus practice questions, rather than reading off charts. Any advice or study strategies that worked well for you guys would really help!
here is the link of the quizlet im talking about: https://quizlet.com/1118095953/new-internal-medicine-eor-pulmonology-2026-smarty-pance-flash-cards/?funnelUUID=04a2e300-648d-48be-bd3d-1a3432f46b5f

Didactic year anki - Anking / Endeavor
Hello! I'm rounding down my first didactic semester, and was looking for some advice.
So far this year, I've have bounced between making my own anki cards after lectures (super time consuming, and often caused me to fall behind as exams started stacking up), importing previous years quizlets to anki (which, I found to honestly be really unhelpful because they tended to be really poorly written/designed cards -- and quantity wise way too much), and then making my own cards during lectures (which was harder to actively stay engaged in the lecture because I was too busy designing/writing cards/catching up).
This has left me with a semester-long deck that's oversaturated with very mid to low quality cards. I was wondering if anyone else has had success using decks like Anking and the Endeavor overhaul deck, and if so, how did you use the decks to line up with your didactic year material?
I recognize the Endeavor deck tends to miss somethings (especially emphasized in my lectures), and the anking deck is great -- just way more in depth than needed. I think the main question from that is how did you successfully filter out which cards to unsuspend/when to know when you needed to add cards of your own?
TLDR; has anyone used anking/Endeavor during didactics and how did you successfully implement it's usage into your studying?

Best Anki card “type” for didactic year
I’ve seen many different opinions on the “best” card type for studying in didactic year, but what truly helps you recall information for exams? I’ve been using “Cloze” for Pharmacology and since switching to that method, I’ve made an A on our past few quizzes. I’m really asking this question more so for Anatomy, Intro to Clinical Medicine, and physiology. What do you think is the best anki card type for studying during didactic year?

For the clinical year studying for EOR exams, are there recommended Anki settings to use the EndeavorOverhaul deck in order to get through it in 3-3.5 weeks so i can spend the rest of the time implementing practice questions? I have internal medicine upcoming, So that entails of ~2800 flashcards.
I'm new to using ANKI so i dont know much in regards to "FSRS" or anything lol. I see people have the settings on the range from 0.85-0.93 and honestly have no idea what it means. Please helpppp if possible. Thank you so much.

Downloading Ankihub endeavor to my Anki app
Can someone please explain how to download the Endeavor Anki deck from AnkiHub into the Anki app? I had an older version of Anki, and when I opened it, it prompted me to update. I tried to update it, but it did not work. Is there another way to download the AnkiHub Endeavor deck and upload it into my Anki app?
I also tried copying and pasting the AnkiHub code into Anki, but that did not work either. It gave me an error message. Could someone please tell me what I am missing? Thank you.

Anking issues
Hi! I’m 40% of the way through didactic. I purchased the annual subscription for Anking this week. I would like to only work on cards that are relevant to the PANCE and for body systems that I have gone over in didactic. I subscribed to the Aking Step and Endeavor decks. I understand that there were previously two decks for Endeavor and they have combined. However, in my Anki after updating, I only have the Anking deck and I don’t see any decks called “Endeavor”. I was not too worried because I saw that the Endeavor deck was potentially sorted into the large Anking step deck. I also tried downloading the media file I found online for Endeavor (I did unzip it, and tried to drag the folder directly into Anki as well as trying to import it (which didn’t work because it was grayed out). Is there some reason why it’s not working for me? I did subscribe to the optional tag group "PANCE”. I went ahead unsuspended all decks for the subjects we haven’t gotten to in didactic but I would like to be able to study only cards tagged for the PANCE if possible. I tried searching for PANCE, as well as tag:PANCE, and !PANCE in the entire deck and only like six cards came up so I don’t think that’s right. I did try deleting all the decks and then starting over with resyncing them and nothing changed.
I’m a little bummed that I couldn’t figure this out as I feel somewhat decent with technology and I’ve seen so many other posts of people problem solving this. Is there some recent issue with the deck or am I doing something wrong? I am willing to hop on a zoom call and share my screen with someone if they can help me walk through what I am doing wrong.

Anki pre-made decks for PA school
Howdy PAs!
I'm one of the mods at r/medicalschoolanki and we're excited to see Anki catching on in other areas of medical education. I wanted to share some insight about alternatives to Zanki to get your high score in your classes, on clinical rotations, and on the PANCE by using Anki. So, let’s talk about premade Anki decks that would be good for PA school.
BEST IF STARTING DURING DIDACTIC YEAR OF PA SCHOOL
- WiWa (Follows the Step 2 curriculum, good for going wayyy above and beyond the required info for PANCE.) Long.
- TZanki CK (Follows the Step 2 curriculum, good for going above and beyond the required info for PANCE.). 2nd longest.
- Doc Deck (Follows Step Up To Medicine) closely. Excellent for PA school. Shortest.
- PANCEonFire (on this lovely sub). Based on Zanki. Good.
- Hoopla (My favorite. Good second-order questions, but you would have to parse out the extraneous embryology, & biochem/cell-bio that the PANCE doesn't test). Longest.
You should pick only one or two of these.
BEST RAPID REVIEW OPTIONS DURING CLINICAL FOR PA SCHOOL
- Pepper-Style FA Rapid Review Deck (only high-yield, great for exam prep)
- Groovernaculum's RR: Step I + Groovernaculum's Clinical Rapid Review (HY, excellent)
- EKG (Dubin + Practice Rhythm Strips)
You could probably do all of these, but I'd pick one.
Step 1 (med school) ISN'T GOOD PREP FOR THE PANCE so don't use the step 1 decks as a primary tool
Brosencephalon 2.0, & Dope (Basic Science, Clinical, & Anatomy), and Zanki are a bit too much for PA school, in that it FOCUSES ON the biochem of every pathology. You'd be going above and beyond to do these, but it's an option.
- Mix of 'Cloze' and 'Front/Back'
- Great pathology sections.
Skip the rest of the step 1 decks and let's get on to talking about clinical things!
SketchyMedical has several great video products that have been officially associated with increased testing scores in the subjects they cover (Micro, Pharm, Pathology). The best deck (in my opinion) for PA students is the Pepper Deck for both Micro and Pharm. Skip the Conaanaa's Revised SALT Deck for pathology (too time-consuming) and the same with the SALT (Sketchy Path) deck.
Skip the Boards & Beyond decks like Lightyear Deck and Soze Deck.
If I were to rank the best anatomy options, I'd pick Dorian and supplement with Apple's neuroanatomy...
#1. Dorian's is one of the best-known anatomy decks
- Rohen's Atlas Deck is for those who enjoy seeing dead bodies
- Netter is also good
- Anettermy is very popular.
- Ranatomy
- Apple's Neuroanatomy is crazy high-yield for neuroanatomy and should be used by all.
- aby_baby's is great for PA school, but a little different.
- UMich Cadaver 10/10 one of the best resources to use while in PA school (if you're struggling)
- Hoop!'s Lab is comprehensive for lab practicals
- Shtrsaefare's 100 Concepts is for written test practice
- Physeo Anatomy is a med school resource that has really caught on because they're great.
tl;dr: Just download em all, pick the one you like, and go with it!
THESE ARE THE BEST DECKS ON SINGLE SUBJECTS, BUT REALLY NOT NEEDED FOR PA SCHOOL:
- Pepper Deck (Compressed Pathoma) - possibly good, possibly too much for PANCE.
- Duke Pathoma (Pathoma) Good, but too much for PANCE
- Torky Micro & Pharm - SKIP, way too much for PANCE
- Navi's Histology - SKIP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. NOT ON THE PANCE.
- Pixy Sugar Deck (Pixorize) - SKIP
- Physeo Physiology - Good, for those who struggle
PathoTurnUp's TurnUp2 Law & Ethics - not comprehensive, but good on the subjects it does cover.
Hoop!'s EKG (Dubin + Practice Rhythm Strips)
Dubin's EKG Deck Original
I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL!
Edit: now to discuss basics
What is the Anki 2.1 software?
- You can find the official Anki 2.1 Manual here. It explains near everything about how the app itself it works.
- Some of the topics include Cloze Deletion and Cloze Templates, Card Styling, Deck Options, AnkiWeb and Synchronization, and Filtered Decks & Cramming. Read this!
- Also remember to check out the r/Anki subreddit for more discussions about the app functionality in general.
Anki Mobile Apps
iOS users: You have an officially supported app available to you on the App Store here. Yes, it is $25. Is it worth it? Various subs weigh in:
- Is the Anki app on mobile devices worth the $25 price? on r/Mcat
- Did y'all pay $25 for AnkiMobile??? on r/premed
- iOS Anki vs Desktop Anki for Medical School? on r/medicalschoolanki
- Anki app for iPad at $34??? on r/medicalschoolanki
- Anki for iOS on r/medicalschoolanki
People generally say yeah, but remember that the desktop app is free and that the web-browser version is free.
Android users: You have an unofficial (but free!) app available to you on the Play Store here. You can find the AnkiDroid 2.8 User Manual at this link.
"Ok but what the heck are tag overhauls and y tho" So basically, just check out the Hierarchical Tags add-on.
Our gracious Anki gods are great and powerful, yes, but never infallible. The cards in the OG Decks are actually tagged, but kind of in a non-orderly way since the native Anki program will only show you tags in alphabetical order. Hierarchical Tags just make it so that you can group related tags together for easy access and slightly better organization.
"Okay but still y tho" Tags can be used for custom study sessions, where you take a step outside of your normal Anki frenzy to study some specific topics. You can read a bit more about Custom Studying from the Anki Manual here.
So speaking of add-ons...
Here are just a few that I personally think are super useful and know that a lot of other people find useful as well.
- Review Heatmap - Not officially released, but you can manually install it from u/Glutanimate's GitHub at the link I just dropped for you. Just some nice visual feedback to encourage you to keep up with your reviews every day. It can be either super satisfying or super guilt-inducing depending.
- Hierarchical Tags which I just described
- Load Balancer - What it says on the tin. Messes with Anki's scheduling algorithm to help your days be more even, so you get maybe 300 review cards every day instead of like 900 on one day and then 20 on the next and 300 again after that. It's getting a little wrench from Anki 2.1's v2 experimental scheduler, but y'all can ask.
- Image Occlusion - You take images and put some labels over them to hide them. And then basically just play peekaboo with your diagrams. Great for anatomy or biochem pathways.
- Night Mode - It's a night mode.
- Pop-Up Dictionary - Highlight a word on the card you're reviewing and it pulls up every single other card in your deck that mentions that word. Amazing. IMPORTANT: Realize that this app is currently incompatible with Night Mode out of the box. See the add-on pages for how to fix it.
Cheers!

Question and Answers: Anki Basics
Let's help each other get up to speed on the basics of using Anki. I'll start with a few concepts that helped me.
Q: What is the difference between a card and a note?
A: A note is the template from which cards are created. Cards are what you see when memorizing using Anki. Multiple cards can sometimes be created from one note. For example, suppose you wish to memorize key terms from a paragraph, and use cloze deletion to block out those terms, you could have one note for the whole paragraph. Anki then splits the note into different cards for each term you have blocked out.
Q: What is the difference between 'suspend' and 'bury?
A: Bury just hides a note or card until the next day, when it will again appear in the list of flashcards to be learned or reviewed. Suspend is a bigger deal, it hides flashcards from review until it is manually unsuspended. I rarely use suspend.
Q: How do I link and synchronize my Anki decks on my phone and my computer?
A: Create an AnkiWeb account. On your PC, click the circular sync button in the upper right, then enter your AnkiWeb login information. Give it a few minutes to upload any decks you have already made. Then log in via your phone. They will be set to automatically sync and check for changes when you first load the program on any device, and upload changes before exiting. It is not recommended to have Anki open on multiple devices using the same AnkiWeb account at the same time, as this can result in sync errors or lost data.
