Good recommendations so far, but personally I find one method to be the most effective : multiple question versions in conjunction with randomization Say you have decided to brush up on your first grade math, and you make a card for multiplication. Instead of just making one "2 2 = 4" card, you make one card containing three potential questions, so you add "5 4 = 20" and "3 * 3 = 9" to the same card. Each time this card is scheduled to appear, Anki will randomly choose one of the questions to display. This way you prevent your memory from overfitting to the irrelevant context and force it to remember the actual concept, because you have to use your knowledge of how multiplication works every time. You have to pick a large enough selection of possible questions for that to work, for me three is usually enough. Additional bonus : anki reviews get less tedious, because you don't feel like always seeing the same old stuff. Here's a template for creating such cards: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/947272864 https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/947272864
