#AK_Original_Decks

Tag Explanation
  • The Zanki_Pharmacology deck originally had subdecks but we removed them early on after adding tags and it was not feasible to get them back at this point. Rest assured the tagging is now far superior than the original subdecks were.
  • The Lolnotacop subdecks is accurate. That deck was mostly organized by tags originally and never had extensive subdecks
  • The Zanki_Step_2 , Cheesy_Dorian_(M3) and MedicalArk decks originally had subdecks but we removed them early on intentionally because there was a significant amount of duplicates or notes that belonged to multiple subdecks. Cheesy Dorian duplicated notes and put them in subdecks. We removed the duplicates and saved one card and kept it tagged by all relevant shelf exams. After doing this, subdecks would have been inappropriate to use.

#AK_Step1_v12

Tag Explanations

!DELETE(Duplicate) - These cards can be deleted! (Yes, seriously). They have been carefully merged (tags, images, extra field content) with a respective card that has been kept in the deck. As of V12 onwards, most duplicates can be viewed in AnkiHub suggestion history to see which card it was merged to. If you have been reviewing these cards already, you can search “tag:’!DELETE(Duplicate)’ is:new” to find only cards that are new and delete those.

!FLAG_THESE_CARDS - these are cards that you may not want to review a lot or review at all for the reasons on the subtags

PharmExtras_(topic_covered_by_micro) - These are cards that were made from Sketchy pharm, but the cards from Sketchy micro already covered this pharm principle. You can choose if you want to just do the Sketchy micro one or if you feel the duplicate coverage is helpful

Potential_duplicates :construction: - Cards flagged by our team that may potentially have a duplicate. Not all of these are duplicates and should be kept until we can properly go through them all.

SketchyPathAdds - These are cards that were added to the deck by JB who did all the Sketchy Path tagging. Some of these are decent, but the majority are likely not needed unless you’re doing Sketchy Path

Temporary - these are cards that are helpful at first when building foundations, but later on can likely be suspended as they’re very simple concepts

#AMBOSS

#B&B :white_check_mark: - Cards tagged by Boards and Beyond videos

#Bootcamp :construction::money_mouth_face: - Cards tagged by Bootcamp. (These tags were added by the company)

#Costanzo :white_check_mark: - Cards in the deck are tagged by the Costanzo Physiology textbook (Zanki made the cards based on this resource so they match very well)

#Osmosis :snail:

#Pathoma :white_check_mark: - The deck was originally made by Zanki using Pathoma. These are mostly his tags with some additions by BlueGalaxies03_Neoplasia & 03_Neoplasia_Alt_Tagging - The neoplasia section wasn’t initially done by Zanki and both BlueGalaxies and Lolnotacop filled in the gaps.

We combined the best of the two versions into 03_Neoplasia but left the Alt_Tagging version if you wanted to use one or the other. Most of the lolnotacop versions of the Alt_Tagging have been removed from the deck as duplicates.
