Reading: 🏷️ Optional Tag Groups

Hi there! I understand you want to organize your MileDown’s MCAT Decks (organized by Coffin) according to Kaplan chapters without losing your study progress. This is definitely possible with Anki, and I have a solution that should work well for you.

Using Tags Instead of Reorganizing Decks

The best approach is to use Anki’s tagging system rather than creating new decks or moving cards between decks. This way, you maintain all your progress while gaining the organization you need.

Two Options for You:

Option 1: Use Tags Manually

  1. Go to the Browse function in Anki
  2. Select cards from specific topics that correspond to particular Kaplan chapters
  3. Add tags like Kaplan::Chapter1, Kaplan::Chapter2, etc.
  4. You can then use these tags to filter your studies without changing your deck structure

Option 2: Use Optional Tags in AnkiHub (Recommended)

If you’re using AnkiHub, you can take advantage of the Optional Tags feature:

  1. Create an optional tag group for Kaplan chapters
  2. Tag cards according to the Kaplan structure without affecting the original deck organization
  3. This lets you organize by Kaplan chapters while preserving both your progress and the original Coffin organization

To create optional tags in AnkiHub:

  • Go to AnkiHub and click “My Decks”
  • Click “Optional Tags” then “New Tag Group”
  • Name it something like “KaplanChapters”
  • Add tags in the format AnkiHub_Optional::KaplanChapters::Chapter1

Studying by Tags

Once you’ve tagged your cards, you can study by tags:

  1. In the Browse window, select the tags you want to study
  2. Create a filtered deck based on those tags (Tools → Create Filtered Deck)
  3. Use a search like tag:Kaplan::Chapter1 to study specific chapters

The main advantage of this approach is that you maintain all your progress (review history, scheduling information) while gaining the ability to organize and study by Kaplan chapters.

Would you like more specific instructions on setting up either of these options?
