A sample deck made up of my "psychology", "operating systems" and "machine learning" tags.
Note that some of those cards are old, and pretty bad: e.g. I have a card saying "name three things that villain hysterias have in common". I should have broken that up to three separate cards, each of which listed two of those things and told me to fill in the third. And that's what I've done with some of the later cards. It's also worth noting that I probably did too many operating systems cards when studying for that exam - while I aced it, it was so much work that I've been reluctant to touch Anki afterwards, and currently have around 700 due cards...
cool thanks! It's nice to have a look at a real-world example too... (btw do you do the breaking-up of cards by hand or using some plugin?)
Meanwhile, I started experimenting with using screenshots from pdf fiiles (equations, mainly) and dropping them into anki cards. It seems to work well so far and it's faster than I thought (though I haven't yet tried actually studying them, not to speak of doing it on a phone...)
Spaced repetition is one of the most efficient ways to learn new things. (For research citations, see 'Study methods', here.)
The best way to practice spaced repetition is to install Anki to your phone, since you have your phone with you all day long.
I have an Android phone, so here's my 60-second guide to getting started with Anki on Android:
