I’ll help you understand how to mix up your studies between different subdecks instead of going through them sequentially. Let me search for some relevant information on this topic.

Let me search for more specific information about mixing up the order of subdeck cards:

Based on your question about mixing up your study order between subdecks rather than studying them sequentially, I can help with this common Anki issue.

How to Mix Cards Between Subdecks

When studying in Anki, you’re seeing your cards go through subdecks sequentially (specifically through your psych/soc content first) rather than giving you a mixed experience across all your subdecks.

Solution:

  1. Study from the Parent Deck: Instead of clicking on individual subdecks to study, click on the main parent deck that contains all your subdecks. This will mix cards from all subdecks together.

  2. Check Your Deck Options:

    • Click the gear icon next to your main deck
    • Go to the “Display Order” section
    • Make sure it’s not set to “Show cards in order added” or “Show cards in order of the deck tree”
    • For a more random experience, set it to “Show cards in random order”

  3. Avoid Creating Too Many Subdecks: As per Anki’s recommendations, having too many small decks can lead to cards being shown in a predictable order, which weakens memory formation. Instead, use tags to organize your content within fewer, larger decks.

If you’re using the AnKing Step Deck, be aware that it has a specific organizational structure. When you study from the main “AnKing” deck, it should randomize cards across subdecks, giving you a better mix of subjects.

Let me know if you need help finding these settings or if you have any other questions about optimizing your study approach!
