AnKing step deck install & questions

Hi I just download the anking step 1/2/3 deck right. it shows 0 cards ok. i saw a comment on how to unsusped but why you organize it this way? how do i unsuspned everything for step 2 that is waht i want to study for?

also, what is this “anking note types add-on”? do I need it? . i appreacite all the effort in this but it looks so over complicated going through all this information and dispersed information betweekn links. can you tell me straight forward?

If you want to unsuspend every step 2 card, go to browse → tags → click on #AK_Step2_V12 → click on any card → Cmd + A to select all cards → right click → toggle suspend

If the cards are yellow = suspended
If the cards are transparent = unsuspended

We do not recommend unsuspending all cards but if that works for you then that is how to do it

It is not needed, but recommended if you want to change how your notes look, colors, move fields up or down, auto open certain fields. If you do not want to do that then you don’t need to install the anking note types addon

ok got it thank you!,

so you suggest me to unsuspend the ones i will be using and then after im done with those and I feel confortable i should suspende them again and start another one, this should maintain schedulling right? ?

also, how do you suggest me goinng over step 2 cards, which tags yous I unsuspend first?

sorry, i meant which tags (cards) should i unsuspend first?

I suggest suspending the ones you want to do but keep them unsuspended so you don’t forget them. If you suspend the cards after you do them you will lose on the benefit of spaced repetition

If you suspend or unsuspend, both will maintain scheduling but if you suspend your cards you won’t see them again unless you unsuspend them

This video goes over it much better than I can explain!

Shelf exams: https://youtu.be/4O-sDcgF82c

Most of the time, students go through either #!shelf tag or #!Resources by rotation. Other students also use the UWorld QID addon (sold separately) and use that addon to unlock cards after they finish doing their UWorld questions

sorry, what you mean is UNsuspending the ones i want to do and keep the UNsuspended righ to benefit from spaced repetition?

You mentioned below:

Suspending means you will not see those cards. It is recommended that after you unsuspend a card and do it, you should keep it unsuspended. You should not suspend it again.

For example, you do 20 cards on hemophilia, after you learn them, you keep them and do them indefinitely. If you suspend them, then you will forget this information and you will not see it again which means your retention rate will drop when this information gets tested.

Its best to keep cards you have done unsuspended, and not suspend them again. So if you are done a subject, you can go to the next subject, unsuspend the new cards while simultaneously doing the old cards as well

thank you!
