Using the Flashcards with Anki on PC/Mac

I recommend star-ng with the flashcards on a mac/pc, and then once setup, you can install
them on your mobile

Navigate to h<ps://apps.ankiweb.net/

Hit Download

Once installed, you should have a window that opens like this:

Hit Sync to set up your

account (this will
ensure your flashcards
stay in sync between
your PC / mac and
mobile
You’ll be prompted to create an account on ankiweb, unless you already have one:

Next, navigate to where the flashcard file downloaded to and double click the file: ‘Get Into
Radiology - MSRA Flashcards.apkg’. This should start the import to Anki, which looks like
this:
 Once it’s finished impor-ng, your main Anki page should appear like this:

Anki separates cards into new, learning and to review.
• New = cards you’ve never seen before but are due today. You can change the number

number to start with
• Learning = cards you haven’t yet learnt because you’ve marked them as difficult

Click this when you’re

ready to start studying
cards.

At the start, most of the cards will be

new. As you progress, you’ll have lots of
cards that need reviewing. Remember,
the more ‘new’ cards you review each
day, the more you’ll have to review a
few days later, so be mindful about
increasing the new daily limit above 30.

If you want to get more

granular with studying just
a single specialty, start a
custom study session, then
choose to ‘study by card
state or tag’. You can then
choose the individual tag

to focus on

When you have seen a card 3 or 4 -mes and are confident

you know the answer, the interval might be 2 weeks, or a few

smaller scale. Don’t forget to press ‘sync’ when you’ve finished studying so that all your
