Hi everyone
I’m looking to study and find an online interface for flashcards. Now I’m stuck on which is better: Anki or Quizlet.
On one hand, Anki (from what I’ve seen and dabbled with) is much more effective with spaced repetition and has proven effective with learning information, however it’s hard to use, not the most enticing interface and for beginners is not so easy
Quizlet on the other hand is easier, better interface, I’ve used it a lot more, however for spaced repetition it’s not that great.
I’m wondering if anyone would recommend either or. I’m doing A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths. Any help with starting up on Anki too would be MUCH appreciated, thank you!

Since chemistry exams are pretty much all about regurgitation of marking schemes, so I type out the most organized ways of answering questions (= marking schemes) in my Anki flashcards. It takes less time than typing out notes because there's no formatting, is much more satisfying when you see the card count goes up, and is more efficient in the long run — just blast through the flashcards before every test and it'll save you your entire afternoon. It'll take you 30 mins to 1 hour max for each topic.

I use Anki for biology, but not for chemistry.
Chemistry is more of a past paper/ exam technique subject. So just use past papers as a form of testing yourself. For biology, I use Anki for everything, I just type of the question then get a plain sheet of paper then rewrite everything I know from the topic. After I repeat it for like 1 month, I start going onto past papers and trying to answer them.
Remember, information retains well if you a) understand it and b) if you can apply it.

I genuinely think you can’t make flashcards for chemistry, it’s just like making flashcards for maths.. so no need. Just test yourself by answering questions

I haven't used Quizlet before, but Anki has worked wonders for me. I'm studying physics, chemistry, and biology. I've used Anki for chemistry and am planning to add a biology deck.

Heyy, can you give me an example of how you do that please? Also im new to anki and i wanted to know if its similar to quizlet in a way that you can search up other flashcards that people have made and if thats useful for you or do you prefer to make your own flashcard?

Front: Haloalkanes are more/less dense than water
Back: More
Front: Esters are more/less dense than water
Back: (I forgot)
People say that flashcards shouldn't be long, but I think long flashcards are especially suitable for steps of an experiment/process because I don't want to chop them up anyway. It takes quite some time to fully memorize them though, e.g.
Front: Steps for preparing ethyl ethanoate
Back:
1. Reflux
2. Distill 2/3 of product mixture --> low % of water, high % of ethanol, ethanoic acid, ethyl ethanoate
3. Excess Na2CO3 solution --> remove acidic products (CH3COOH and H+(aq) from traces of H2SO4)
4. Excess CaCl2 solution to remove unreacted ethanol:
CaCl2(aq)+4CH3CH2OH(l)-->CaCl2・4CH3CH2OH
5. Anhydrous CaCl2
6. Re-distillation: collect liquid between 74 and 79 --> distillate is ethyl ethanoate
Hope that helps!
