How Many Cards is AnKing-MCAT supposed to have?

🙋 Support

I recently downloaded the MCAT deck and it says that there are 1899 cards. On reddit I saw people talking about 5000+ cards, am I missing something or did I do something incorrectly while downloading?

You’re not doing anything wrong :blush:

The difference in card counts comes from which version of the AnKing MCAT deck people are talking about and what’s included:

  • The current official AnKing-MCAT deck on AnkiHub is much smaller than some of the older/shared MCAT decks people discuss on Reddit (which often include many more basic science cards, extra cloze deletions, or older versions of the deck).
  • AnkiHub also lets deck authors remove or consolidate cards over time, so if you downloaded the deck recently, your card count may be lower than older screenshots/posts you’ve seen.

A few things you can check:

  1. Confirm you added the full AnkiHub deck

    • In Anki, go to your deck list and make sure the deck is something like AnKing-MCAT (not just a subdeck or filtered deck).
    • Click the deck → at the top, check “X cards” and make sure that number matches what you’re seeing (1535).

  2. Check for suspended cards

    • Open the deck → click Browse.
    • In the left panel, select the AnKing-MCAT deck.
    • Look at the card list: yellow/red icons indicate suspended/buried cards that don’t show up in the total “new” cards you’re seeing when studying. But the deck’s total card count (shown in the deck list) should still include them.

  3. Compare to the AnkiHub listing

    • On AnkiHub, open the AnKing-MCAT deck page and look at the total card count shown there.
    • If that number is around ~1500, then your 1535 is exactly what you’re supposed to have.

If you’d like, reply with:

  • A screenshot of your deck list showing AnKing-MCAT and the card count, and/or
  • A link to the exact AnkiHub deck you subscribed to

…and I can confirm whether your installation matches the official deck.

Thanks for the screenshot—that helps a lot.

You did everything correctly :white_check_mark:

The 5,000+ card counts you’ve seen on Reddit are from:

  • Older/legacy MCAT decks (e.g., older AnKing MCAT versions or other community decks), or
  • Decks that included extra foundational science cards and more cloze deletions.

The current official AnkiHub version is a more focused, streamlined deck, so the total is much lower—and that’s normal.

If you want to double‑check updates in the future:

  1. In Anki, go to AnkiHub → Check for Changes to be sure you’re on the latest version.
  2. Compare your card count with what’s shown on the AnkiHub deck page (same link you posted).

You’re all set using the correct deck.

Hello,

I would be happy to help. :slight_smile:

The number of cards displayed on the main screen is not necessarily indicative of how many cards are in the deck, only how many are currently ready to be studied. For instance, you may notice that many of your subdecks suspiciously list precisely 300 cards (which is almost assuredly not the total number of cards in those respective subdecks)

The best way to check the total number of cards present in your collection would be using the deck’s tags, as so:

Separately, it may be helpful to familiarize yourself with deck settings and cards being suspended, which this tutorial can walk you through: How to Get Started Studying

Give that a shot, let me know how you fare, and we’ll go from there and hopefully we can get you squared away. :slight_smile:

Thank you so much, that definitely makes more sense! Why does it only show 300 cards if none of the cards are suspended?

Also, I was planning on using the Kaplan tags to organize my studying. Do you know if all the cards are organized into those Kaplan tags?

Likely due to deck settings or cards being suspended. :slight_smile:

The tutorial shared there can walk you through what to look for

No single resource is 100% comprehensive, unfortunately, though the deck is tagged by Kaplan for sure. :slight_smile:

Sounds good, thank you!
