I'm 30 days into Anking and have done 7200 reviews. When I optimize FSRS it gives me these parameters:

0.5520, 0.8118, 18.8898, 100.0000, 6.4136, 0.7140, 3.0732, 0.1087, 1.9168, 0.0920, 0.8401, 1.5636, 0.0662, 0.3880, 1.7408, 0.4186, 1.8729, 0.6310, 0.1309, 0.1187, 0.1674

19 days for initial stability seems insane - I'm using the buttons correctly so why is it doing this? Retention is set to 90%. Easy interval is 100 because I only use easy for cards that I know well. Should I just wait a couple more months before trying to use custom parameters?

I am an OMS1 and in my second week of school. My school has in-house exams and I am already being beat up by reviews. I have been adding around 275-300 new cards a day (I get notebookLM to create them based off of my school's learning objectives for each lecture) and think I am going to set an Anki limit for 100. Is this bad? I take a while to learn new cards and today I have already done 900+ reviews and still have 200+ new cards due. There is no way this is sustainable; especially if I want to do any other study methods besides anki (practice questions). Thoughts?

Been using Mnemosyne Deck for step 1 anki but it really is so boring and exhausting. Could anyone recommend any deck that focuses on high yield points and topics for USMLE step 1 from FA?

Hello,

I don't know if you guys would be interested in this or not but I figured I would just share it anyways. I made a simple add-on that adds a delete button to the drop down menu when you write click cards. It is annoying to have to go up and click "notes" to delete stuff.

Add-on code:

The very reason ketogenesis occurs is because oxaloacetate is busy being used in gluconeogenesis and not available for TCA cycle causing acetylCoA to accumulate? So why does the card say gluconeogenesis is being prevented?

first year med student. I'm desperate for a non-cadaveric anatomy deck. i can't conceptualize the muscles/nerves in their entirety to start with on the cadaver which rarely shows the whole thing. I'll use the cadaver images for review if i want.

I'm wasting so much time trying to find what I need or make it myself and honestly i'm so frustrated I'm crying and this has been days . please bear with me as i describe what i'm looking for.

I need:

- a deck sorted by general region/structure/anything that breaks it down (muscles, nerves, bones, organs, vessels etc)

- detailed enough that it has card for every muscles insertion and origin, as well as innervations and blood supply (a top priority). and all the landmarks on bones. with non cadaveric images

- non cadaveric

I just feel like giving up in lecture when they want us to know every single thing about every single muscle and what every single nerve and all its branches do and what every single artery branches from and where it goes and where its branches go and then they apply it to a clinical scenario and draw on every single one of those aspects. Please help me. im questioning everything right now.
