Hey everyone!
I am worried my anking deck has some incorrect setting that has mislabeled which decks certain cards belong in.
It feels too many of the cards are put under the Step 2 deck instead of the âAnKing Step Deckâ for my STEP 1 studying. When I suspend a group from a B&B video for example, nearly half the cards will be labeled as under the Step 2 deck.
So I am not sure if I am missing out on content that should really be with my step 1 deck.
This is showing when I do my UWorld as well. I will look up a question ID and bunch of the associated cards will be labeled as under the Step 2 deck when it really is step 1 content.
Am I missing out on cards?? It seems about 15k of the 31k I have in the Anking Deck have the step 2 label and dont show up in my step 1 deck when I unsuspend.

Youâre not missing cards; youâre just seeing how the AnKing tagging is designed.
A few key points:
-
Many cards are tagged for both Step 1 and Step 2
- A lot of Step 1 content is still relevant for Step 2, so those cards get
Step 2/AnKing Step 2 tags as well.
- Itâs normal for a large portion of the deck to carry Step 2ârelated tags even if the information is Step 1âlevel.
-
Deck vs. Tag: what actually controls what you see
- The deck a card lives in (e.g. your AnKing main deck) is separate from its tags (e.g.
AnKing::Step 1, AnKing::Step 2, UWorld::QID 123456).
- When you âunsuspend your Step 1 deck,â what really matters is which tags or filtered search you used to select cards to unsuspend.
- A card can:
- Live in the same physical deck as everything else
- Have tags for both Step 1 and Step 2
- Show up in a Step 2âtag search, even though youâll also see it when you use the Step 1ârecommended tag search.
-
Why your B&B/UWorld cards look âStep 2âheavyâ
- B&B and UWorld tags often hit highâyield concepts that are also tested on Step 2, so those cards tend to be multiâtagged.
- When you search by UWorld QID, Anki shows you the card and all its tagsâso it looks like âthis is a Step 2 card,â when in reality it may be tagged with Step 1 tags as well.

How to check youâre not missing Step 1 content
In the Browser:
To see if a âStep 2â card is also Step 1âtagged, pick one of the cards youâre worried about and check its tags in the Browser. Youâll likely see something like:
AnKing::Step 1AnKing::Step 2UWorld::QID::xxxxxxB_and_B::âŚ
-
When you would worry something is wrong
You should only suspect a setup issue if, for example:
- A card clearly labeled with a Step 1âonly tag is living in a completely different deck than the rest (not just differently tagged).
- Your total Step 1âtagged card count is way lower than whatâs listed for the current AnKing version.
If you want, reply with:
- A screenshot of one âproblemâ cardâs tag list, and
- The exact search/steps you use to unsuspend Step 1 cards,
and I can help you confirm whether your setup matches the standard AnKing/AnkiHub configuration or if something actually needs fixing.
Hello,
Step 1 and Step 2 content can have some overlap. If you unsuspend cards under the #AK_Step1_v12 tag, you will get cards for Step 1. Some of them may also have tags for Step 2, but that doesnât mean they arenât still relevant for Step 1.
Could you please provide more details about the issue you are facing?
For now, please try the following:
- Reset local changes. Hereâs a tutorial: How to Reset Local Changes
- Select the Step 2 tag and send us a screenshot showing how many cards are in it.
I did the reset. I have 25,805 cards labeled under Step 2 as shown above.
The problem is that when im unsuspending by tags after watching a video, a good amount of the cards I unsuspend seem to be labeled as under a âStep 2â deck as shown below. So even when they are unsuspended, these cards do not show up in the main AnKing Step Deck I use.
Great! You are not missing out on any cards.
In the attached screenshot, the selected tag is from the Boards and Beyond resource under the Step 1 tag, not Step 2. Therefore, you can be sure these cards are useful for Step 1. However, I notice there is a deck named âStep 2â. The AnKing Step Deck does not include this deck by default.
The AnKing Step Deck does not have any subdecks by default; it is organized entirely by tags. Unless you had a previous deck or manually created a subdeck, every card with thes AnKing Step Deck tag should be located in the âAnKing Step Deckâ. The reason these cards arenât showing up in the âAnKing Step Deckâ is that they are currently located in the deck named âStep 2â.
If you would like to fix this, you can select all cards belonging to the AnKing Step Deck that are currently in other decks and move them to the main AnKing Step Deck. You can follow this tutorial: How to move cards from your old V11 deck to a new deck. You can skip the steps for creating a new deck. Instead, simply select all cards with the note type âAnKingOverhaul (AnKing Step Deck / AnKingMed)â and move them to your existing AnKing Step Deck.
