Exploring the Impact of Spaced Repetition Through Anki Usage on Preclinical Exam Performance

Greater time spent using spaced repetition learning techniques through the Anki application and a higher number of matured and unsuspended cards were associated with increased performance on the CBSE exam. These findings support spaced repetition as an effective way for medical students to master and retain medical knowledge in the preclinical phase. Further research with larger sample sizes and more diverse populations is needed to validate these findings further.

Abstract

Greater time spent using spaced repetition learning techniques through the Anki application and a higher number of matured and unsuspended cards were associated with increased performance on the CBSE exam. These findings support spaced repetition as an effective way for medical students to master and retain medical knowledge in the preclinical phase. Further research with larger sample sizes and more diverse populations is needed to validate these findings further.
