Hello. I am studying for the Neuro Shelf Exam and was unsuspending all of the Shelf cards, but noticed a significant amount of them were under the Step 1 tab. Do I need to do Step 1 and 2? Or just Step 2 because this is in preparation for the shelf/Step 2? Or is the new filtering method not separating them? @AnkiHub_AI_bot

Hello! I understand you’re preparing for the Neuro Shelf Exam and have questions about which cards to study.
Based on the AnKing Step Deck organization, there’s a specific purpose for both the Step 1 and Step 2 cards in relation to shelf exams. Here’s what you need to know:
Understanding the Shelf Cards in AnKing
The AnKing deck organizes shelf exam content with specific tags. From looking at the tagging structure, we can see that:
-
Both Step 1 and Step 2 content can be relevant for shelf exams. The foundational knowledge from Step 1 often provides important background for clinical questions on shelf exams.
-
There’s a specific tagging system for shelf exams under the
!Shelf
tag in the Step 2 section. Within this tag, you’ll find:{Shelf}
→no_dupes
- Cards related to shelf exams without duplicatesno_dupes
→only_step2
- Cards that are exclusive to Step 2 content (not in Step 1)
What You Should Study for the Neuro Shelf
For your Neuro Shelf Exam preparation:
-
It’s recommended to study both Step 1 and Step 2 neuro content. The Step 1 cards provide the foundational neuroanatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology that you’ll need to understand the clinical presentations tested on the shelf.
-
Focus on the Neuro Shelf-specific tags if you want to prioritize. You can find these under the
!Shelf
tag structure. -
Consider using the
no_dupes
→only_step2
tags if you’re confident in your Step 1 knowledge and want to focus only on new clinical content.
The fact that you’re seeing Step 1 cards when unsuspending Shelf cards is normal and by design. The shelf exams test both basic science knowledge and clinical applications.
If you want to be more selective, you could search for the specific tags related to the Neuro Shelf and then further refine by focusing on high-yield content or only the Step 2 cards that don’t overlap with Step 1.
Would you like me to help you formulate a specific search query to find the most relevant cards for your Neuro Shelf preparation?
