I built an Anki deck to study for the FAA instrument written test and the oral exam portion of the instrument practical test.

Tips and best practices:

* Effective learning: Twenty rules of formulating knowledge[0]

* A list of Anki tips and suggestions that [a medical student] wrote[1]

* Anki Guide for Medical Students[2]

* How to make high quality Anki cards quickly[3]

* Anki Tips: What I Learned Making 10,000 Flashcards[4]

FYI, your link [1] was culled by the moderators of /r/medicalschool.


Ok, any idea why?


I wonder if the person who posted deleted that reddit account.


Normally their post contents remain with [deleted] as the user name. They could have also used a mass deletion script prior to deleting their account.


have you made your FAA decks public? Would like to see them, thanks!


UPDATE: My IFR deck is available on AnkiWeb:

Just a heads up, you can google Flashcard decks for flying exams. I've seen them out there and you can import into Anki.

My question: I have hundreds text files that are solely highlights I want to remember. I’ve made my own cards (for other things) for years and know that’s a best practice, but for this I want to automate the process more. Anyone have a suggestion to format long texts into many cards as quickly as possible? Script, Keyboard macro, or just general method?


Anki can import and export cards in a plain text format (with fields separated by tabs), which should be easy to generate with a script.


I will upload them to AnkiWeb.
