The loop
| Day | Action |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Mon) | Pretest or skip-to-quiz → Study gaps → Build Anki cards |
| Day 2 (Tue) | Anki reviews only (15–20 mins) |
| Day 3 (Wed) | Anki reviews + new topic pretest |
| Day 4 (Thu) | Anki reviews + Feynman stubborn concepts |
| Day 5 (Fri) | Full cold recall test on the week's topics |
| Day 6 (Sat) | Fix gaps from Day 5. New cards for failures. |
| Day 7 (Sun) | Rest or light Anki only |

The essentials at your fingertips. Expand each section as needed.
The five rules you don't break
- Always pretest first. Even 5 questions. Even if you score zero. Especially then.
- Never re-read notes as revision. Convert to Anki or they're dead weight.
- Do Anki reviews daily. Miss two days and the queue becomes a wall.
- If a card keeps failing — Feynman it. Don't just keep flunking. Go understand it.
- Score every pretest. Track the number. Improvement is the whole feedback loop.
The skip-to-quiz technique
Most courses bury the quiz at the end. Skip the content. Go straight to the quiz. Take it cold. Use your wrong answers as your study list. Works for Microsoft Learn, AWS Skill Builder, Udemy, Coursera, LinkedIn Learning, textbook chapters.
Anki rules
- One fact per card
- Create cards immediately after each session
- Rate honestly — hesitated? Hit Hard
- Clear daily queue before adding new cards
- 20–50 new cards per session max
- Tag by topic for filtering
- Use cloze deletions for definitions
Wrong answer handling (5 steps)
- Write the question and your wrong answer verbatim
- Write why you got it wrong in one sentence
- Write the correct answer with one-line explanation
- Create an Anki card the same day
- Re-test within a week
Troubleshooting
- Scores not improving: Studying too broadly. Focus on the gap list only.
- Cards keep failing same way: Concept isn't understood. Feynman it.
- Review queue overwhelming: Stop adding new cards until under 50.
- Avoiding sessions: Lower the bar. 10 mins of Anki = a win.
- Skip-to-quiz scoring 90%+: Material is too easy. Move up.
