With this direct integration between Anki and Picmonic, students now have instantaneous access to Picmonic thumbnail images, explanations, high-yield fact list, Video and Quiz for any Anki flashcard they are studying. My recall accuracy of facts associated with Picmonics is much better (I’ll quantify when I get time) than facts not associated with a Picmonic.Įditors Note: Picmonic recently released a Picmonic Anki Add-On ! This allowed me to learn each Picmonic pretty quickly. Picmonic now has a spaced repetition driven Daily Quiz! I used to take a screenshot (for my personal use…) and put the picture into Anki for each bullet/concept that can be found in each Picmonic. However, I have coupled my picmonic study with Anki and I not only feel like I’m mastering the concepts for the next set of tests, but I’m going to master them on Step 1 too due to Anki’s spaced repetition. (EDIT: at the time of this blog there were <500 topics, now there are more than 1,400) I would ace medical school if Picmonic covered 60% of what I have to know for in house exams and even Step 1. ![]() In my opinion this is the major drawback. I have 3 regrets:ġ) I didn’t use it in preparing for the last testĢ) I didn’t use it in preparing for the last testģ) That they don’t cover EVERYTHING I’m studying. The vignettes, although sometimes a bit jarring to my delicate sensibilities, stick with you in such a way that you are able to get diseases, viruses, conditions in your mind all at the same time. Well, I got burned on a couple of subjects and, after listening to how some friends used Picmonic to score much better than I did I realized that I would have to take a 2nd look at it. But I just stopped using it and carried on. I was so unimpressed with using it at first that I was going to actually write a post about how bad it was. Picmonic uses picture mnemonics to teach/review material in medicine, pre-med and now K-12 subjects. And I felt so badly about wasting $200 on a years subscription (there are monthly subscriptions). I didn’t use it… thought it was a silly gimmick. I impulsively bought Picmonic to prepare for my first set of tests.

The below blog I wrote for Picmonic based on my experience with utilizing Picmonic and Anki together, which as you’ll read below, I have found to be a lethal combination. This is my story as an MS2 trying to find the best study routine that is effective and efficient. Picmonic + Anki = Win! By: “MissionsDoc” and Picmonic
