This page shows one way AnnA can be used.
- I am a medical school student and my steps are over multiple days (something like 12h 2d 4d then 7 day graduation)
- My True Retention rate is above 85% (but that might be because I have long learning steps so hard cards can spend weeks in learning).
- I created AnnA recently so my usage will probably vary. Don't hesitate to open an issue if you want to give my your opinion.
- I am using the V2 scheduler
- Every morning, I open anki and take a look at my medschool decks:
- I run my autorun.py, resulting in a large drop in the number of learning cards in my decks and a new filtered deck containing
75%
(capped at 150 cards) of my due reviews. - I then refill two (regular) filtered deck for the learning cards using as settings:
I exclude the cards rated today because it tends to mess with my learning steps
deck:med_school_deck is:due is:learn -is:buried -rated:1 -rated:2:1 -rated:2:2
(ordered by random, will contain the learning cards that I struggled with the day before)deck:med_school_deck is:due is:learn -is:buried -rated:1 (rated:2:1 or rated:2:2)
(ordered by random, contains the easier learning cards)
- I work my way through both learning filtered decks then the Optideck. This will ensure I reviewed all the useful cards of the day, but when some similar cards would have appeared on the same day, one of them has been buried. I think this is the most efficient way to go.
- I run my autorun.py, resulting in a large drop in the number of learning cards in my decks and a new filtered deck containing
- During weekends, I tend to do my learning cards and only a portion of the due cards.
- If I have a huge backlog, say 1000 cards. I can spread it over 10 days using 100 cards per day while aggressively penalizing similarity by setting the argument
rated_last_X_days
to 6 days for example. - At the end of each semester, I add my most important decks to an
Archive
deck. Every day, I review 10 maximally spread cards over all my past decks and ordered bylowest_interval
. The idea is to keep decently sharp on all the past cards I've created without taking too much of my time.
