Thanks for sharing the screenshots! I canât see the exact numbers clearly from the small images, but I can help you sanityâcheck your setup and point you to what we generally recommend for the AnKing MCAT deck.
For MCAT decks, the most important things are:
-
New cards per day
- Common range: 40â80/day depending on when your exam is and how much time you have.
- If your
New cards/dayis way higher (e.g. 9999) or very low (<20) and youâre early in prep, Iâd adjust it. - Make sure youâre setting this per deck (on the AnKing MCAT deck options group), not only in the default group.
-
Maximum reviews/day
- Many people cap this around 200â300 to avoid burnout.
- If you have it uncapped or extremely high, thatâs fine shortâterm but can snowball. For MCAT, consistency > one huge day.
-
Learning / Relearning steps
- A common setup looks like:
10 1440or10 1440 4320(minutes)- Thatâs e.g. 10 minutes, 1 day, (optionally 3 days).
- If you see something like
1 10only, thatâs probably too short for MCAT content.
- A common setup looks like:
-
Graduating interval & Easy interval
- Graduating interval: 3â7 days is typical.
- Easy interval: usually 2â3Ă the graduating interval (e.g. 7â10 days).
-
Lapses
- New interval: 50â70% is reasonable (you donât want cards dropping almost back to zero for one lapse).
- Steps: at least one step like
10or10 1440for relearning.
-
Burying
- For MCAT, itâs usually good to bury siblings (cards from the same note) so you donât see closely related cards on the same day.
- Make sure âBury related new cardsâ and âBury related reviewsâ are ON for the MCAT deck options.
-
Compatibility with AnkiHub
- Ensure your AnKing MCAT deck is:
- Subscribed to the correct AnkiHub shared deck, and
- Using its own options group (e.g. âAnKing MCATâ) so youâre not accidentally changing settings for other decks.
- You can check this in Anki:
- Rightâclick the deck â Options â look at the Options group name at the top.
- If needed, click the dropdown â Manage â Add to create a dedicated MCAT options group.
- Ensure your AnKing MCAT deck is:
If youâre okay with it, could you either:
- Type out the key values youâre using for:
- New: steps, graduating interval, easy interval, new/day
- Reviews: max reviews/day, ease factor, interval modifier
- Lapses: steps, new interval %, minimum interval
or
- Upload slightly larger/full screenshots where the text is readable,
and I can tell you more precisely if anything looks off for AnKing MCAT + AnkiHub.
Also, let me know:
- Your test date (rough month/year),
- About how many new cards you still have left in the AnKing MCAT deck,
so I can suggest concrete numbers tailored to your schedule.
Hello,
Yes! These are great settings, and I donât see anything wrong with them!

It really depends on what you prefer. What matters is that you are always unlocking new cards to learn, and I always try to review every review card (green ones) for the day so the algorithm can work. Also, on both settings, FSRS is enabled, so thatâs also good.
The rest is just personal preference. Here, you can watch the Anking video about the best settings so you can figure out what works best for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo-qQvOZDfg
