Let’s gooooo Mr. Ahmed. Some of those images are looking so good, congrats and thanks to everyone on the team.

Thank you for the amazing updates!
As I am preparing to start my study block for Step 3, could you please share with me a strategy to study for it?
Are the AnkiCards and UWorld enough? What do you think?
Can you please direct me on which cards to use? Are they labeled in any way I can find? What topics and deck cards sto be considered?

Thank you in advance!

Jules

Hi @jjb1324

As I haven’t taken Step 3, I can’t offer much on it but what I can say is that many people do well on Step 3 doing UWorld and the associated cards.

If you have the UWorld QID Anki add-on, you can use that add-on to unlock cards based on the Step 3 questions you do. This add-on can be found in AnKing VIP: https://www.theanking.com/vip

Everything relating to Step 3 can be found in this tag: #AK_Step3_v12

@Ahmed7

Illustration Resolution: 100s of images had their resolution downscaled to prevent lag from occurring when reviewing. If you still notice this happening, please create a suggestion alerting our team on AnkiHub and we’ll address it ASAP!

Is there a specific forum you’d like us to report these in, or simply make the suggestion directly to AnkiHub on the cardself?

[Ahmed7]

You can suggest them on AnkiHub with the rationale of “this image is causing lag” and we can take care of them

[docox123]

Because I didn’t make any change to the card, it wouldn’t allow me to send the suggestion (I was using the other category, idk if that affects things or not), so I adjusted the image size prior to making that suggestion, and that allwed it to send, I did add a thorough explanation with it.

LMK if this is ok, or if there’s another way you’d like this done in the future (sorry I couldn’t find details for this kind of suggestion listed on the suggestions guidelines page here: 📚 AnKing Step Deck Submission Guidelines)

[Ahmed7]

That’s fine! You can alternatively just add a period anywhere and that will let you suggest it.

We’ll have to manually change it so the suggestion just lets us know which images are causing it

[docox123]

Sounds good, thank you!

[jollydolphin]

Any news on the anatomy and histology additions that were teased a few updates back? Very much looking forward to these!

[dr.faust]

Hi!

I would like to ask a question: how many cards in total in the latest version of step deck? I just restarted to use AnkiHub and all the stats were kind of messed up.

Thank you!

[dr.faust]

Thanks for the updates, AnkiHub team!

I have a feature suggestion that could optimize studying for all of us: automatic tagging of cards based on rating (Bad, Good, Easy, Very Easy).

This would allow us to merge or combine cards that were rated Easy or Very Easy ≥3 times, reducing the total card load and shifting learning towards understanding rather than rote memorization.

Would others be interested in this? Let me know!
