How I ranked 1st at Cambridge University - The Essay Memorisation Framework - Ali Abdaal
ANKI Flashcards
- These flashcards are blocks of content that can insert into the essays you have planned. They also work for essays you have not prepared in advance: you have blocks of knowledge in your head that you can put into your new essay.
- Everything that is in your ANKI is going to get uploaded into your brain.
- Use them to memorize the paragraphs of your essays.
- Use keywords at the front of the cards: for example, the title of a paper you are going to discuss in your ANKI, a theory, or a concept.
