Hi,
I used the option + Command + click method and saw that there were 3171 step2 anking cards that did not have step 1 tags on them. Can I get a verification from the AnKing team that this is the correct number? I know there’s a large number of step 1 and step 2 tags that overlap and i’ve been studying cards that have step 1 tagged this whole year, so i’m trying to see how many new step 2, non-step 1 tagged cards I have to study for clerkship year. Thank you!
I’ll help you find information about the number of Step 2 AnKing cards that don’t have Step 1 tags. Let me search the forum for any relevant discussions about this topic.

Based on my search, I can provide some information about the number of Step 2-only cards in the AnKing deck.
From what I understand, you used Option + Command + click to identify 3,171 cards that have Step 2 tags but don’t have Step 1 tags. This is a reasonable approach to finding Step 2-only content.
While I don’t have the exact verification of this specific number from the AnKing team directly, I can share that the AnKing Step Deck does have a tagging system specifically designed to help with this exact scenario.
According to the AnKing Step Deck documentation, under the #AK_Step2_v12 tags, there is a specific tag hierarchy that might help you:
!Shelf → no_dupes → only_step2
As described in the documentation:
This tag further excludes any cards that were in the Step 1 deck, giving you the option to only study “new” content
This is exactly what you’re looking for - cards that are only tagged with Step 2 and not Step 1.
To verify your count, you could try searching for this specific tag in your Anki browser to see if the number matches what you found with your Option + Command + click method. The search might look like:
tag:!Shelf::no_dupes::only_step2
The documentation confirms that there is significant overlap between Step 1 and Step 2 content, which is why they’ve created this special tagging system to help users focus on truly new Step 2 content.
If you need an exact verification of your number, I’d recommend:
