AnKing MCAT Deck Update #7 (April 11th - May 11th)
Howdy, hello, and a little bit of yee-haw
Picking up where we last left off, and we’ll not waste any time getting right into the thick of it:
Deck Updates
A quick glance at all the pomp and circumstance (and progress) since the MCAT deck’s genesis on AnkiHub in the mists of the still-recent past:
47,177 note updates!
16,622 total subscribers!
(we’re averaging numerous updates every day for years now and still going strong )
Projects
Illustration Projects
We’ve added more illustrations, diagrams, and annotated images than you can shake two sticks at!!
Thanks to @ahmedafifi, @pkaps01, @daltoncaples and others.
If you’re interested in helping make great illustrations or diagrams or annotated images for the MCAT deck (like the ones you see below), please send an email to brian@ankihub.net
UWorld Textbook Tagging
Super happy to report here that, as shared in the last update, we are officially done tagging the existing deck via the UWorld textbooks.
It only took a few months of effort, but it is now in the books (literally).
A couple of important points, just so everyone’s on the same page:
- The existing deck is tagged by the UWorld textbooks. However not every single detail from the books will necessarily be covered in the deck (as with any resource). The UWorld textbooks are less than a year old, and hopefully we’ll continue to refine as we go.
- We have also started going back through the textbooks to look at adding high-yield details that are covered by the UWorld textbooks and that are not currently in the deck. Like tagging, this takes a lot of time and effort but you might keep a keen eye out on some new cards making their debut in the coming weeks and months. We hope to have this finished in the near future.
UWorld Question Bank Tagging
Tagging by UWorld questions is 95+% complete. Some UWorld questions are passage-based or self-contained and so not all questions can necessarily be tagged (for example, CARS questions). That being said, we’d love to get that up to 100% so if you notice a card that should be tagged, and isn’t, please feel free to make a suggestion: How to suggest a change to AnkiHub
Submission guidelines for tags, and anything else, can be found here: AnKing MCAT Deck Submission Guidelines
AAMC Content Outline tagging
This has gotten underway in the last few days. Since no single resource is completely comprehensive, or will cover every single card in the deck, we wanted to also offer subject-level content tags as well. The easiest, and most reliable way, to do this is to tag cards according to the AAMC content outline, and this process is now underway. We hope to have this done in the next couple of months, and excited to share more info as we get further along.
