Hello Radicaledster!

It’s normal to have different card counts between users with the AnKing Step Deck. Based on my search in our community, there are a few reasons for this discrepancy:

Why the difference in card count?

The main reason for your difference (35k vs 42k cards) is likely related to one of these factors:

  1. Notes vs Cards: There’s an important distinction between notes and cards in Anki. According to our FAQs, a single note can generate multiple cards (using cloze deletions). The AnKing deck has approximately 28,800 notes but generates around 35,000 cards typically. Your friends with 42k cards may have:

    • Additional cards they’ve created
    • Different versions of the deck
    • Different settings for cloze generation

  2. Empty Cards: You might be missing some cards if you’ve used the “Empty Cards” tool, which removes cards that don’t have proper cloze deletions.

  3. Protected Fields: If you’re upgrading from a previous version and have certain fields protected, this can affect card generation.

How to check your setup:

  1. Verify your card count: In Browse, search for the tag #AK_Step1_V12 to see all the cards in your collection.

  2. Check for empty cards: Go to Tools → Empty Cards to see if there are any that need attention.

  3. Reset local changes: If you believe you’re missing content, you can try:

    • Go to Browse in Anki
    • Click on the AnkiHub add-on tab
    • Press “Reset all local changes”

This will restore everything to match what’s on AnkiHub (unless you’ve specifically protected fields).

Would you like more specific help with this issue? It would be helpful if you could provide:

  • Which version of the AnKing deck you’re using
  • If you’ve made any modifications to the deck
  • If you’re upgrading from a previous version
