I’m doing Kaplan content review over about 6 weeks (around 2–3 chapters a day), and I’m planning to use the Milesdown Anki Deck alongside it. I’m really confused about how I’m supposed to use Anki properly with this.

After I finish a chapter, I unsuspend all the cards for that chapter, but I don’t understand what I’m actually supposed to do after that.

Am I supposed to do all the cards for that chapter the same day, or is that wrong? Or am I supposed to unsuspend all of them but set a cap on new cards (like 60 per day)?

If I use a cap, won’t my new cards just be a mix of older chapters from earlier in the week instead of the chapter I just studied? Like by Friday, if I’ve been unsuspending cards all week, what if most of my new cards are from earlier in the week and barely any are from what I studied that day?

That’s what’s confusing me the most. Am I supposed to be okay with not really seeing today’s chapter cards right away? Is the idea that I’ll just see them later over the next few days?

Also, am I supposed to be doing new and review cards from content I learned days ago, even if it’s like a week later? Or should I be trying to keep things aligned with the chapter I’m currently studying?

I feel like if I try to do all the cards for each chapter it’s way too much, but if I don’t, it feels like I’m not reinforcing what I just learned.

Basically what is the correct workflow here so I’m not doing an insane number of cards but also not missing content?

Would reallyyyy appreciate if someone could explain how they actually used Anki during content review because I feel like I’m overcomplicating this and idk why i just cant understand how its suppposed to work

Hey I’m confused what is the difference between miledown deck and anking?

Also, for Anki, when should you be choosing “Easy,” “Good,” “Hard,” or “Again”? What’s the actual difference between these options, and how do you decide which one to click based on how you did on a card? I feel like the options are pretty similar.

hey guys, i’m planning to start studying soon and honestly the more i read on here the more confused i get 😭 would really appreciate if anyone can break this down in a simple way or share what worked for them

For content review

• how are u guys splitting subjects?
• like do u do one subject per day and rotate, or mix a couple in one day?
• if anyone has an actual schedule they followed that worked pls share

anki (im so confused???)

• i know people use anki during content review but idk which deck to use i’ve seen milesdown, pankow, and anking. what’s the difference??
• i’ve never used anki before so sorry if this is dumb:
  • if i finish a chapter and there’s like 150 cards, am i supposed to do all of them that day?
  • or just some and unsuspend like half those cards?
  • i feel like if i keep adding cards every day it’s gonna pile up like crazy
• also do u unsuspend more cards later when u start doing practice questions? like how is that supposed to work

cars

• what are people using for cars during content review vs actual practice?
• i know about Jack Westin daily passages but is there anything else that actually helps?
• also how do u “study” for cars vs just doing passages

uworld

• when do u start it? during content review or after?
• and are people actually doing every single question or just some??

timeline (im planning around 3 months total)
this is what i was thinking but idk if it makes sense:

• ~1 month content review
• ~2 months practice
  • for practice when do people usually start aamc FLs?
  • during practice phase are u still doing anki from content review phase

aamc stuff

• is the aamc question bank worth it? (and that’s separate from FLs right?)
• is anki + uworld + FLs enough or should i add aamc qbanks too

blueprint

• are blueprint FLs worth it or unnecessary? and if i get these should i do them with u world

kinda what im thinking i should do
with 3 months:

• content review + anki (month 1) → uworld + anki + (month 2)→ aamc question bank + FLs? (month 3)
• should i do content review → uworld → aamc in the last month
• or mix uworld + aamc together?

sorry this is a lot lol i just feel super overwhelmed and don’t wanna start off doing things wrong. anything that worked for u or even just general advice would help a lot please im going crazy already and i havent even started to study and i need to start on monday

For people using Kaplan for content review, how are you guys actually structuring it? Are you doing multiple subjects a day (like a chapter from a few different books each day), or splitting it up like gen chem + orgo + CARS one day, then bio + biochem the next? Or just focusing on one subject per day and doing a few chapters of that? Also are you doing UWorld during content review or waiting until after? And are you using Anki with the Kaplan chapters? If you finish a chapter, do you review those Anki cards again the next day before starting new stuff, or just move on?

I feel like I’m overthinking this but I genuinely don’t know what makes the most sense. Ughhhhh I don’t know what to do please helppppppppp
