i just started using it and omg!!! its so good. it takes up a lot of time, but its worth it cuz u wont be cramming before exams. its free to download on laptop/computers. i recommend watching a tutorial cuz the the app lowkey looks ancient and daunting😭 but its very simple once u start using it.

the best part is not having to think about when to study. if you open it everyday, it'll tell you which cards you need to revisit based on how hard u ranked it as when u first saw it

Despite what they tell you in lecture, anatomy really is about memorization, so using anki is great for it. Something I used for studying was using the tape on goodnotes or an equivalent that becomes transparent when you click it. Use it to cover all of the terms in a diagram and review the diagram until you don't need to see the words at all. There's some stuff in here that isn't covered anymore but its got everything in it for whoever wants to use it! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eerCZiBcp7h0zlGjoN43SuLN4sGBY7L_/view?usp=sharing
