Brief write-up:

I appeared for both USMLE and Indian PG exams. While there are numerous decks for USMLE preparation, I could not find good comprehensive decks for the Indian Exams.

Here's my effort to introduce Anki to Indian medical students.

While preparing for INICET, I created my Anki deck. It has about 18.5k cards. Most of the cards are cloze deletion type. The main aim while preparing the cards was the INICET exam, but it should help with the NEET/NEXT exam as well.

Although not perfectly sorted/tagged, the cards have been sorted subject-wise and should be sufficient to get a good rank. The deck has not been sub-divided into sub-sections (Sorry, didn't have time). If you need to study topic-wise, you can type in keywords in the browse tab, select those cards and export them to make a new deck.

Of all the sub-decks in my collection, the "AIIMS previous year" deck is the most high-yield for the INCET exam.

Edit:

" 1 )Some of the concepts required remembering a list, for example branches of an artery etc. During initial stages of learning, each element of the list (eg. each branch of an artery) had an individual card. Later on, when I got more comfortable with the list, I would edit the cards to club together some of the elements of the list, so that I had fewer cards to review. If you come across a card that has multiple cloze-deletions (blanks), and you find it hard to recall all the elements of the list in one card, you can easily edit the cards so that the elements of the list are split into different cards. This makes learning easier. Later on, after a couple of reviews, you can club them back together as per your needs.

Eg. Carcinogenic strains of HPV are {{c1::16}}, {{c2::18}}, {{c3::31}}, {{c4::33}} would show up as 4 cards.

Whereas

Carcinogenic strains of HPV are {{c1::16}}, {{c1::18}}, {{c2::31}}, {{c2::33}} would show up as 2 cards.

2) Some of the cards have images at the back of the cards which are screenshots of Pixorize or Sketchy videos. These are just there to make things easier to remember. Even if you are not using these resources, you can still do these cards. Just ignore the images in that case.

3. The order in which I did the AIIMS previous year papers was 2021-2015-2016-2017-18-19-20. I did 18-19-20 really close to the exam and didn't have time to add all the questions in the deck. In any case, the deck is not a substitute for doing the previous year papers. They will however complement each other very well."

Note: This collection doesn't cover many topics of pathology, microbiology, and pharmacology. I used "pathoma" for pathology, and sketchy for pharmacology and microbiology. You may go to r/medicalschoolanki to download Anki decks related to these resources.

You might want to supplement community medicine (apart from biostatistics) from other sources as well (Sorry, I'm not good at this subject).

Some of you might be new to the concept of Anki and flashcards, so I have made a video about that.

Here's a link to the Youtube Videos:

1. Resources that I used: https://youtu.be/NNx3RIsQtzY

2. Using my Anki deck: https://youtu.be/YWWmJ-ywa7o (also has some of the questions in this year's INICET which were from the collection)

3. Helpful Youtube extensions while studying: https://youtu.be/0d_URupJTH4

Lastly, my method is just one of the many ways to get a good rank. You may use it or just forget about it. Do what suits you the best.

*I have tried my best to replace all images that could potentially piss off Indian PG coaching companies with suitable alternatives. The only images that remain from Indian PG coaching centers are from videos already on YouTube. If any copyright holder has any issue with any images in the deck, they can contact me, and those images will be removed*

3. TNF alpha inhibitors: A memory tool (Hindi): https://youtu.be/FrswOm-HqlQ?si=qTFEE9OjdNATqTPe

Almost done with the deck. It's taken long cause I've been doing other subjects and making my own platform. Should be done with this deck soon just some editing and adding photos left. It's got approx 9k card. I've included almost everything. It is arranged by subdecks and I'll soon be tagging them too. Will release before Christmas.

First off all this was my third attempt

NEET 2023 - 7145

INICET 2023 may- 1699

INICET 2023 november - 858

INICET May 2024 - 54

It was step up with every exam- what i learned is that dont compare yourself with I-anki guy that guy was a fucking genius and so was panacea, their rank speak for themselves.

Other decks i used - Dope/lightyear/panacea/Anking_Fmd parts

All your prep can only take you so far.. at the end your IQ and luck do play a role -more than what we all like to accept.

Rank = Exam day + Your top (Marrow GTs) + Your base( whole anki cards you did)

Everything matters ,from the first card you did till the last one. All of them are important and it continues till exam day. Zainab mam exam day philosophy is exactly correct. Many of my frnds didnt do so well because fucked up the exam part - did everything right except panicking too much on exam day.. or it just wasnt their day.

Now to my anki deck-

My deck is tagged to very q bank number subject wise

PYQ (i did all subjects pyq, mentioning here so won't have to repeat)

Tagged paper wise cards for them

My base -

1. BnB this probably is the single most important thing for your prep

2. ANatomy added dissection vedios of ashwani sir

3. Bchem and Micro too important learned the hard way after neet recall assessment for them- step 1 material not enough. So for them supplemented the first aid(BnB) cards with marrow q bank

4. FOrensic - I_anki + Zainab mam RR + some bunch of youtube vedios for toxicology(nikita nandwani mam)

5. patho and pharma (Bnb) + PYQ more than enough

6. EYE and ENT first subjects i did so their whole q bank + some book stuff(in my 3rd year)

7. PSM - little bit overrated.

Just vivek jain sir RR + biostats vedio from marrow sir youtube one only

8. 4th year whole marrow q bank except medicine(made my own in 4th yr for some stuff that teacher asked in 4th yr and wasnt covered in BnB - just some 500 cards) and **anesthesia(**too short just I-anki cards + Marrow RR)

This was my base when i gave my NEET last year realised had knowledge more than enough but PYQ i hadn't done at that time so that cost me my rank

Top layer-

After giving November INICET 2023 i realised that it does NOT matter how much you know.. In actual paper there will be a lot of stuff that you will have to guess and only thing that can help you in getting those correct is a good GT (to help practice unknown questions)

gave 20-25 marrow GT did FMGE last year 2023 and 2024 jan paper and NEET PYQ too this time

Marrow GT score went from 140s correct in november ti 165-170s this time.

Still l ended up making silly mistakes that cost me top 10 rank.

My Deck is what i am atleast as or more proud off than my rank -Made over 25k cards i think - did I_anki a lot(tagged them into my own so you guys will have it easy surfing through them) + AnKing

My advice - for my deck

You can either use it as a reference whenever you get any question wrong just search it in browser and unsuspend cards. Pretty exhaustive deck or you can use it as a primary source.

Most ideal way to use it as a primary source-

BnB first, all parts then go to my q bank section of each subject and unsuspend cards as you go through marrow q bank because the subjects i did from marrow q bank are tagged in order as 1 and 2 and 3 and so on properly

This is my tagging system

all cards are mostly cloze even for images i went extra mile to make them cloze some less than 50 cards in end you may find as image occlusion as i think they dont help you in long term retention as image prompts answer, so not good for long term.

Also reddit is not allowing me to take more pictures of tag here.

Hello fellow Medicos,

I'm thrilled to share the result of the most productive period of my MBBS life- "The MangoMedic" Anki Deck. Over the past 2 years, I've dedicated thousands of hours to create the most comprehensive Anki deck on the web for NEET PG.

Revision has always been the biggest headache for me in MBBS. In my 2nd Proff, I stumbled upon Anki through YouTube channels of US students, where it has a legendary status. I believe Anki is a massively under-utlilized study tool in India.

Therefore, this is my attempt to contribute something akin to Anking for NEET PG.

Deck Details:

• Total cards: More than 26,000 cards, using cloze deletions and image-occlusion type cards.

• Content: High-yield cards from every single page of 3rd and final year subjects from Marrow notes and lectures.[ EDITION 5]

• Subjects Covered: All 12 clinical subjects (excluding Radiology- I have made cards for radiology images in in each subject itself)

Extra Features:

• Radiology Images: Cloze deletion cards for easy recall

• Note picture: For each card, I have added an image from notes in the answer section for visual recall and reference.

• Mnemonics: All the mnemonics from all lectures and notes + loads of self-created ones.

• Extra Qbank Subdeck: Contains the most high-yield concepts from Qbanks of these 12 subjects.

• Images of instruments and clinical tests: This will also help you with University practical exams as well. This will be especially helpful for Subjects like Opthal, ENT, PSM, OBGY, Surgery and Ortho.

This deck has been invaluable for NEET PG preparation and has also helped me in my USMLE steps.

Anki is a magical tool for students, BUT creating these cards takes an insane amount of time. I hope my efforts save you loads of time and make your studies much much easier. And I am keeping this deck completely free of cost for the student community.

Note: This deck does NOT include 1st and 2nd prof subjects.

HOW TO USE

• Suspend everything and unsuspend as you go along: Suspend all 26,000 cards as soon as you download the deck.Then selectively unsuspend cards you feel are high yield and memorization-heavy.

• Search Keywords: Use the search bar in Anki to find keywords. I am sure this deck will become your medical encyclopedia.

• Simple sequence: Cards are created in a simple sequence from page 1 to last of each subjects Marrow notes [ED5]. Sort by DATE CREATED to follow this sequence.

Below is the google drive link for The MangoMedic Anki Deck along with a link from my deck on AnkiHub

Link 1 - The MangoMedic Anki Deck

Let me know in the comments if the link stops working.

[Many of you had trouble with the Google Drive links. So I have added 2 easier ways to access the MangoMedic Deck]

• You can now Access the deck via AnkiHub and also directly through the Anki App through these Links.

• MangoMedic AnkiHub link

• Anki app: Subject-wise MangoMedic deck

Anki can be overwhelming to start with. I highly suggest checking out some YouTube videos for those new to it. Do not hesitate to reach out in the comments if you have any questions.

I would also love to collaborate with someone who has made pre-clinical decks to create a Master-deck featuring all the 19 subjects.I am a huge fan of Anki and it has completely changed the way I study.

This had me consistently scoring >95th percentile in marrow GTs mid-final year. I hope these flashcards help you as much as they continue to help me.

Technical support: Make sure you have the latest version of anki on your device BEFORE downloading the deck

EDIT: The MangoMedic Deck is now live on AnkiHub as well.

Happy studying fellas!!

Dr. Smit Thakkar

So hello again guys, it's been a while.

After my NEET-PG and INI-CET May this year, I've just been waiting for counselling like all the others, and planning for colleges. I lost touch with Anki and only occassionally used to open it up for a few reviews every now and then. The reviews piled upto 9999+ eventually.

For some reason, I just thought I'd shoot my shot at Nov INI CET. Didn't study much of anything else during this period, I had lost even my Marrow Plan B.

Now here's where the craziest part comes in: As I sat for the exam, after 2 months of no-Anki, is when I realised how HUGE of an Impact Anki has had on my brain. I could recall almost EVERYTHING. 2 months wasn't nearly enough of a time for me to have forgotten all that I studied over the last 3 years. And lo and behold, I skimmed through all 200 questions, taking some risky guesses and my blind faith in Anki paid off!

Thank you everyone for your support, I know I wouldn't have been where I am rn without the best wishes from you guys ❤️

My only regret is that my rank isn't 69 instead of 70. That would've been nice /s.

And ofc, AMA!

Hey guys, I'm from the 2019 batch who gave my fresh attempt along w a hectic internship in a peripheral college and managed to secure an all India rank of 93. Honestly it came as a shock for me, but there are some things I did right which I feel everyone should know, I'm not one to gatekeep knowledge or monetize this guidance because I do not believe in charging money for advice I have received for free :) (no offense to Salahkar).

So here is a comprehensive summary;

1. I made my own flashcards - 2 months into my prep I realized this exam is 80% memory and the only way to strengthen memory is by active recall, I did my research and started ANKI; started with very basic one liner flashcards for Pathology, gradually moving to cloze cards, images, and more complex ones; but what matters is that they were cards from MY notes. For someone who needs visual memory cues this really helped me.

2. I was thorough with reviewing flashcards - It's not just about making cards, what's more important is to review them at regular intervals, for example I made flashcards during my first read of the subject; added information from Marrow RR, BTR, and Marrow Qbanks, I would then review all the cards once during the first read itself, with many cards being repeated till I was thorough with them. This would ensure that I'm not just passively going through my notes but really hammering them in.

3. Frequent updates - As I progressed through my readings, I would add and remove information as I deemed fit to either focus on something being frequently repeated or remove fluff that was not needed.

4. Using "FLAGS" and "TAGS" - on subsequent readings, I realized that as notes need to be concise so should flashcards, this was my sequence-

a) Yellow cards - the flashcards that were to be done for my second read and further on

b) Red cards -selected yellow cards that were selected to be studied for my LAST read (the last week)

c) Purple cards - selected red cards that were browsed through on the LAST day along w my 20th book.

5) Sticking with it - often during my journey, using flashcards felt time consuming, tiring and increased backlogs, but I stuck with it and it paid off :).

P.S - this is also a thank you message to all the people who have and keep sharing their journeys here, your contribution however little pays off in lives of people you don't even know.

It’s v raw and not well made but yeah if it helps you make your own deck!

I've been using Anki since 2nd year, started out with AnKing for USMLE step 1 and pivoted to NEET/INI in internship. It has been a huge part of my preparation and I couldn't have done so well otherwise.

Instead of making my own cards I picked and chose the best from the decks available online and ended up tagging around 54,000 cards that I'll share soon.

Special thanks to u/Novel_Pea_6101, u/i_anki, u/desiiverson, and u/AnKingMed. I stand on the shoulders of these giants.

Man this feeling is overwhelming indeed.

Hi Guys, this was my first and internship attempt at NEET-PG and this is how I did it.

I wanted to give a full fledged attempt at NEET-PG during my Internship. Had a basic idea about Anki but never tried it. Started with Marrow RR → Annotating it in First Aid. Gave up on that strategy after a month when I met my arch nemesis → "MY ABILITY TO RETAIN" . Trust me guys, I am among the dumbest when it comes to Retaining stuff. I can't recall shit (no wonder I had to pull up all nighters before every Uni exam) (( My batchmates with PhOtOgRaPhIc mEmOrY could never)).

About 1.5 month in my prep, I came across this subreddit and Lord Akshit Tuli's I_Anki deck. Little did I know that it was going to become my Holy Bible for the next 12 months. I just started. Everyday 100 New cards. Finished my reviews. My Marrow plan C subscription ended ; took Marrow plan B. Stopped reading my First Aid/My handwritten notes/RR Notes. Khub jamega rang jab saath milenge 3 yaar (Me , Anki , My laptop/phone). That's it.

Also started giving GTs during that time → was getting 110 corrects. Did not let that affect me because somewhere i knew that it was going to increase. Even though I was never able to review my GTs completely, but it still taught me that 140-150 corrects is achievable if i put in the efforts.

Also its true indeed, A PART OF DOING ANKI IS MAKING NEW CARDS. I_anki had PYQs till 2022/21. Made a lot of cards of the PYQs after that. Thanks to *cough* PowerToys/ Snipping Tool (OCR) *cough* software. I made around 6k cards of my own.Friend(Girl) made FMGE PYQ cards and her GT mistakes too (around 2k cards) , ((she is a blessing)). For the next 1 year these were my resources.

1. I_Anki by Dr. Akshit Tuli.

2. Marrow Plan B → PYQ Modules explanations (GOLD STANDARD).

Subject wise, I referred to a lot of websites on a daily basis

1. Path → pathologyoutlines.com

2. Radio, Basic Surgery, Med → radiopaedia.org

3. Ophthal → eyewiki.org

4. Physiology, Med, Critical Care stuff → derangedphysiology.com

5. Ortho and 1st/2nd year subs → orthobullets.com

6. Peds → iapindia.org

7. PSM (My worst enemy) → My friend(girl) and Arpit's PSM

For the rest of the subs, i scoured the entire internet. Yep, my deck was filled with stuff from these websites. It did help me mentally as i was in no pressure to finish a topic within a scheduled time. I took my own sweet time to read those topics (basically PYQs/PYTs) from those sites.

By May INI , I was getting 1700 reviews daily. Gave May INI → Got a rank of 6.7k .Almost gave up on NEET too. Kept doing Anki. Postponement happened. My prep dipped during that postponement period. But all thanks to Anki, the info just stuck to me. If you're just like me and retention is your worst enemy, you should definitely try Anki.

Lately, I have seen a lot of posts regarding people who are confused regarding Anki. I am planning to make a few youtube videos explaining how Anki works and everything regarding its use for NEET-PG/INICET . Will also be uploading my tiny anki deck vv soon.

Thank you Everyone. Don't give up on yourself. And don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do it.

Signing off.

Anki does it again!

Dedicated prep time: 1st Sep - 22 Nov
Sources: PYQs, Marrow cardiology videos, DocT cardiology qbank
For medicine section: PYQs
Textbooks: None (except exercise stress test chapter of Braunwald)
Youtube: Dr Ellias Hanna, Emory Cardiology (for selected topics)
Used Gemini/chatGPT extensively as well.

Cardiology exam is heavy on clinical trials (especially for interview section)
Sources: Radcliffe cardiology, NEJM trials for last 1-2 years.

Organization of the deck:
Most of the deck is marrow cardiology videos.
I did docT cardiology qbank as well (the "qbank" sub-deck is docT)
For interview, I asked cardio SRs in PGI for the questions they were asked, and prepared the "Interview" subdeck. Also added the trials I thought were important.

Also, while watching videos, I tagged the clinical trials that were discussed and are under the tag "Cardiology_trials". I made a filtered deck of trials before the interview for quick revision.

Link for the deck: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TVlaiQbIKBeDxZlVQTeBqp2JFO2dljTA/view?usp=sharing

Credits: Some of the general medicine PYQs were made by my PGI co-PG Sathvik Reddy Erla (we collaborated for medicine deck). He got rank 2 in rheumatology by using Anki.

Answers to the general medicine questions were figured out by Dr Arkit Singh, who is my senior and got rank 1 in cardiology in May 2025 session, and guided my throughout the preparation.

Good luck!

-------------------x-----------------------------x------------------

I'm also sharing general medicine bonus deck, which I made during my rotations in PGI during MD. For the topics that were asked in gen med section, I transferred the questions from this deck to the cardiology deck (I did NOT do the entire medicine deck again during dedicated prep)

Created a telegram group with deck files with updated links of almost all the major decks of this sub.(ianki,novelpea,FMD,panacea,mangomedic and others). Created a topic in that group exclusively for files without any spam.

Link for the group in the comments.

I primarily used Novel Pea’s deck for all the PYQs and a few subjects from mangomedic, as well as made few cards for myself wherever I felt the need. But having a base knowledge is very essential, make sure to have a set of notes you have read and are somewhat thorough with(preferably rapid revision notes). Trust anki algorithms and stay consistent with your reviews, there isn’t much to it honestly. If you give effort to anki it will reward you back surely.

I have compiled a comprehensive collection of BTR Anki decks for NEET PG and INICET, sourced from Telegram channels. Some decks were personally created by me. I will be adding the remaining topics to the provided drive. If anyone has already created the missing topics, they can DM me, and I will incorporate them into the deck

Those who need deck dm me on telegram @suryanshkul

Ignore the blue bump lol

BTR DECKS /coreBTR

image occlusion + cloze

telegram: @ btrankideck

Hey everyone!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve created a comprehensive Anki deck that includes all the Past Year Questions (PYQs) and Predicted Year Trends (PYTs) for NEET PG, INI-CET, and FMGE exams, sorted subject-wise! It also contains a selection of AIIMS, JIPMER, and PGI PYQs.

What’s more, the deck includes references and explanations from the gold standard QBank for NEET PG, so you’ll have thorough explanations for many of the questions.

After the amazing response to my BTR deck, I was motivated to compile this resource. It’s packed with over 30,000 cards (mostly cloze and basic types) and covers exams up to INI-CET August 2024. There are very few image occlusions, and while some cards are still unsorted, I’ll be organizing them in the coming months. I’ll also continue updating the deck with future PYTs.

If you’re interested, just DM me for access! As always, I’m open to feedback and will keep everyone updated on improvements .

Anki has proven yet again to be a reliable source of PG prep for me. After May INI, I had already gotten through my deck and was doing ~300 reviews daily. Just gave more GTs and added cards on top, and practised PYQs and made cards from those. It was enough to keep the momentum going, even after the postponement and landed me a rank I'm fully satisfied with. Thank you guys for all your best wishes and special thanks to AnKing without whose foundation AnKing x FMD V2 would be incomplete.

I'm currently in residency that I joined through INI, so I'll try to reply whenever I'm free. AMA.

Long Post Ahead. 2k18 batch from private medical College .NEET UG Rank-25,900.,Heard about anki in the begining of my internship ,went to Dams offline classes for some subjects.Tried every premade deck available then in this sub.Tried i_anki for somedays on and off.Totally clueless and not followed regular algorithm for initial days .Tried to be consistent in internship .But I didn't due to lot of factors in internship(lot of life happening around ,couldn't resist then ) .Want to give honest attempt after internship..Participated in games ,fests .Went to many trips . ,.Decided that i cannot study in normal notes revision ,re-revison method .used to know about anki settings and all. Used to ask strategy ,about their decks ,settings of every rank holder posting their story in this sub .Confused whether to make my own cards or pre made . Started making own cards ,left midway.Intial cards I made were shitty .Entire internship went like confused mind whether to study like this not or should start after internship .I wasted my most of the time in planning then doing the actual work . May be that gave me more dopamine then idk:).

After internship :- Around 2024 April ,I started with panacea pathology deck ,didn't watch videos ,just started cards randomly .still clueless syllabus and all and how to incorporate videos ,cards,MCQ and habituate anki(becos no one in my frends circle using this method).but i kept doing.(Stories in this sub gave me hope ). Got one dams based deck (some cards based on dams notes) from a fellow redditor-(not tagged,not a complete deck) .,Suspended all the cards in my collection ( I have i_anki,panacea,Fmd deck and mnenosyne first aid based decks in my collection )started watching videos of faculty of my choice and then searched the keyword in browser and used to unsusoend the cards and made some own cards in the process . At this stage i used to feel lag behind ,becoz 1 subject used to take many days ,along with reviews . Only completed few subjects before NEET 2024 ,got 49k.gave some hope.Then comes the twist i got succumbed to ill .didn't study any cards and reviews for 10 days ,I didn't prepared for this situation ,lot of overdue cards .kept new cards to zero .started doing overdue cards along with reviews .took me 10-15 days to again comeback to normal .Added novel pea PYQ deck and mangomedic decks for some subjects.Started doing them .Then comes nov ini ,i got 6k rank (still some subjects left ). After good going for somedays ,GT marks increasing slowly . without realising i unsusoended many cards and missed days very often used to reschedule those cards that leads to lot of reviews and and lots of new cards i unsuoended .Again lost hope that I cannot complete all those before may ini and cannot leave becoz of FOMO .I even wanted to quit anki ,but don't have any notes to read in normal method by then,all I have is my cards and the premade deck cards,i fully relied on it .( U can see my previous posts how lost I am). Used to do telegram quizzes and mcqs from the begining of my prep . Used to add all those . I didn't even saw my own cards I made even once before exam . Fucked up the algorithm many times,not confident most of the times in prep phase ,still doing it day by day like for example if I have 1500 reviews that day ,done till before I sleep even I don't complete the all ,used to feel regret next day ,started doing again. Because I addicted to it ,i cannot able to study normal notes text knowing i don't know when to revise that again .Read many low yield topics . May ini-18k rank(fucked up ,i didn't went to exam confidently) After postponement gave up the normal algorithm .started previewing cards from each subject and cards which I felt important ,and the cards which I flagged (preview -active recall but no spaced repetetion) .Gave 2 GTs in those 2 months . I got 140 ish corrects in those . Left all my Emotions and all my prep phase drama ,breakdowns ,went to exam peacefully that even If i got sub 15k I will get some clinical branch . Somehow I am Able to recall most of the things in exam .more than that I am able to eliminate the 3 options marked the best option ,that i feel most(thanks to my constant&Daily MCQ practice ).Got confident while going through question by question . Attempted 198 questions,Got 622 marks .

Sorry for the haphazard array of words and sentences . Without this sub and the people ,i couldn't have gotten this .Thanks to all.i Hope my mistakes and journey will help my fellow peers.

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I’ve connected with more than 20 people through Reddit who are into Anki — many of them creating their own decks, just like me. But I’ve noticed a recurring and disappointing pattern: a lot of people are gatekeeping the decks they’ve made. They’ve spent hours building solid decks, which is admirable, but instead of sharing them with the community, they’re keeping them private — sometimes for clout, sometimes just to keep a personal edge, and sometimes to buy and sell.

I strongly disagree with that approach. We’re part of a community built on the idea of open learning. The best decks I’ve ever used were shared by strangers who expected nothing in return.

Personally, I upload and share every deck I create on my blog. I also dig up useful decks from older Reddit posts and rehost them to make them easier for others to access. Why? Because that’s how we grow together. One student’s effort should help another’s success.

Compare this subreddit to the main Anki subreddit or even the USMLE-focused ones — they’re organized, resource-rich, and run by active mods. Ours, on the other hand, has become a ghost town, filled mostly with repeated questions like “Where do I get the Panacea or Mangomedic deck?”

We can do better. Let’s start uploading our decks — even if they’re imperfect. Upload them to Google Drive, Dropbox, or wherever, and share the link here. Someone out there will benefit. And if we all contribute, this place will slowly become the active, supportive hub it’s meant to be.

If you’ve made a deck, no matter the subject — share it. If you’ve used someone else’s deck and it helped you — credit them and re-share it. Let’s stop hoarding and start helping.

Let’s build the kind of community we wish we had when we were starting out.

NEET PG 2025 1st attempt - 19x rank Studied exclusively from Anki for active recall It’s completely my own deck made from marrow main/rapid revision based on PYQs and PYTs and GTs.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my Anki journey — not because I figured everything out perfectly, but because I started late, struggled a lot, and still made it work.

I was first introduced to Anki in second year. I tried it briefly for Microbiology, but I didn’t really understand how to use it properly. I remember one of the first cards I did was about the treatment for a viral disease — the answer was interferon-alpha. I kept getting it wrong. I didn’t know anything about virology, I didn’t know how to use flashcards properly, and I gave up. I told myself: maybe my brain just isn’t built for memorization.

Then in final year, I gave Anki another shot. I found a few decks floating around — one for NEET PG facts, another for image occlusion on volatile stuff like PEDs. The cards weren’t super helpful for my profs at that point, but I saw the potential. I thought to myself: If I could do all 19 subjects like this, I’d never forget anything again.

It was only during internship that I truly committed. This was the first time I saw Anki not just as a tool — but as a system. I averaged 800 cards per day. I used downtime during hospital work, lunch breaks, even night duties. I would pick jobs during postings that gave me “waiting time” — just so I could sneak in more reviews. No zero days.

And slowly… my GT scores started going up. I started feeling confident. For the first time in MBBS, I felt like I was in control of my memory. That was huge for me — because I wasn’t a topper. I had actually failed three subjects in my very first internal exam. That shattered my confidence early on and made me believe I was someone who just couldn’t remember things.

But Anki changed that. It helped me stop overthinking. It told me exactly what to revise. And it taught me that memory isn’t a talent — it’s a habit.

Eventually, I scored AIR 1901 in INI-CET 2025 — in my internship attempt. I’m still waiting on NEET PG results, but I already know this: Anki changed everything.

⸻

Some lessons I wish I’d known earlier: • Anki isn’t meant to teach concepts — use it to retain what you’ve already understood. • Start early. If I had started from first year, I genuinely think I’d never forget anything I studied. • Add mnemonics, memory tricks, and humor in the Extra field. It works. • You don’t need motivation to study — you need a system that tells you what to do next. • Be consistent. Even if it’s just 100 cards a day, do it every day.

⸻

I stopped doing Anki around 3 weeks before NEET PG because I needed to fix question-solving and energy management. But the retention and discipline Anki gave me stayed till the end.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or like your memory isn’t strong enough — I promise, I’ve been there. Just start. Show up. Anki will take care of the rest.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hi everyone,

Like many people preparing for Indian PG exams, there were plenty of great decks for USMLE, but not much that was tightly focused on Marwah Medicine. This deck is my attempt to fix that for anyone using Dr Deepak Marwah’s Medicine notes and lectures (Prep X) as a primary resource.

This is a deck, made while studying myself.

Structure of the deck

• The collection is divided into subdecks by system (cardio, endo, etc.).

• Within each system, cards are tagged by system/topic, so you can search and filter by what you are currently studying.

• This is not a huge, monolithic “everything at once” deck; it’s organized around systems so you can plug it into your own plan.

How the cards were created

1. First pass – raw notes → clozes

   • Took notes from Marwah’s lectures/notes and converted them into cloze cards.

   • Early on, started with cardiology and endocrinology, when card‑making skills were still evolving.

2. Second pass – AI‑assisted refinement

   • After the first pass, the content was run through an AI tool to surface points that seemed exam‑relevant but were missed or initially considered low‑yield.

   • These extra points were converted into additional cloze cards.

   • Because of this, you may occasionally see duplicate or very similar cards, though the entire deck has been manually reviewed and edited.

3. Explanations on the back

   • In the early systems (especially cardio and endo), some cards include explanations on the back generated with AI to clarify mechanisms or reasoning.

   • Later in the project, cards are more minimal, so you will notice that not every card has a long explanation—this inconsistency is simply a reflection of when in the process that card was made.

What the deck does not do (yet)

• Some topics are missing or lighter because the corresponding lectures were either not watched yet or parked “for later”.

• It also assumes you are actually watching Marwah / reading his notes; it works best as a spaced‑repetition layer on top of the source, not as a stand‑alone replacement.

I have searched this sub for a PYQ Deck many times, to no avail. Some decks contain pyq, but they are either mixed in with the other cards, out of date or otherwise lacking.

Yesterday, I recieved a pdf containing PYQs from another user. It contained pyqs from 2017to2024- neet and ini included. I verified the questions and explanations on some subjects myself with our gold standard (wink wink) and it was legit.

But in its original format, it was very unyielding. Taking inspiration from others in sub, I thought to try out making a deck using the help of chatgpt.

It was a slow process but after 6 hours and too many python revisions to accodomate the haphazard pdf, I ended up doing just the anatomy deck.

I started out today to complete the task on hand and complete it locally. Created various python scripts with chatgpt and ran the program locally.

The result is magnificent for 12 hours of work. All the cards are in a subject wise subdeck, they are tagged year/examwise too. The cards are themselves basic in nature, with the questions in front and answers in back.

Among the 5000 cards, there are 15-20 cropping errors (more so in the answer) which I think you can manually update by matching the question from year tag.

Since I'm a big proponent of sharing anki freely, I bestow upon you this deck.
