Hi, I have to give my exam in around 1.5 months. How do I make sure that all my cards are reviewed before then, even though some are currently scheduled after that? Is there any interval setting I can adjust to make this happen? Thank you!

Hi,

When creating a filtered deck, you can choose what cards will be on it to be studied. It’s basically a way of studying the cards you want right away.
So what does a filtered deck mean? You will take specific cards from their home deck β€” the AnKing Step Deck, for example β€” and put them in a temporary deck just for studying them.

It will help in your case because you can review the cards relevant to your exam any time you want.


Will it reschedule cards?

  • If you leave this box checked, the cards of the filtered deck will follow the rules of their home decks. So when you get a card wrong, it will appear again using the interval you are used to, and when you get a card right, it will increase its interval the same way you’re used to, and then return to its home deck.

  • If you leave it unchecked, you can choose any intervals you want for your reviews in that deck, and it will not change anything in your cards’ intervals. For the example in the image below, when I hit Again, the card will be back in 10 minutes. If I hit Hard, it will be back in 1 hour; if I hit Good, it will be back in one day; and if I hit Easy (by default), the card will return to its home deck like nothing has happened (intervals do not get changed).
