This is a video about the new FSRS (Free spaced repetition scheduler) algorithm that was recently implemented into Anki. I go through how FSRS compares with Anki's default algorithm SM2 (SuperMemo 2) including what the best settings for you are! This includes how to optimize and individualize Anki settings for whatever you're studying, what max interval and retention you should use, and more! Let us know in the comments what you think about the two algorithms and which one you'll be using!
