That Intro was savage! Lol. This may be your best video to date.
We couldn't resist haha
you can click on the day you want the cards to reschedule from on the heat-map, when the browser pops up sort them according to the interval and select the cards and reposition them. this worked for me and I find it easier. great video as always.
That was a freaking laugh out loud funny into, thanks.
Great video! Thank u so much. Is there a video explaining about the settings? Like the easy interval and starting ease ?
Yes there definitely is! There's a video on the anki algorithm czcams.com/video/eHaCkDyMmPQ/video.html and another on recommended settings: czcams.com/video/wvF5Y2101Lk/video.html
Awesome video!
Ive got 2 questions that need clarified regarding those filtered decks.
It happens once in a while that I must skip a day due to test or such (using Anki for class) and I then afterwards needs to catch up... Regarding the filtered deck:
1, you said rebuild those decks every morning and study from them primarily #duetoday and then #overdue - what happens once Ive cought up- shall I not delete those #Duetoday and #overdue decks then?
2: New cards - how do I handle those? I keep making new cards after watching lectures and learning new material.. How can I implement those?
I saw that the reschedule add-on is compatible with the load balancer add-on. Is there any way to have both and still make it work, for missed says and what not, or is it just better to have one add-on or the other? I'm really split among the two.
If I already used the postpone card review addon before this and want to undo it, what would you recommend? If I put a negative number in front of the postpone card addon to undo and then try this method with prop:due and filtered decks it sticks like 2000+ in the DUE TODAY category.
Thank you Anking !!!
@The AnKing For missed days, why do you recommend the Filtered Deck over the Rememorize Add on? Is there a benefit you would say one over the other?
For the filtered decks option, is the "Due today" deck necessary? Can I just make the "overdue" deck? What is the benefit of using the "Due today" deck instead of just leaving those cards in the original deck?
Hey, I've noticed when I do filtered decks Anki is not counting the cards. I like seeing how many cards I've done in a day even if some of those where through filtered decks. Any way to make that happen?
The free weekend addon doesn't work on my phone, but the anki app is really convenient when you're not at home by your computer for example. Is there anyway you can use this addon on your phone?
if i still wanted to add new cards to my original, unfiltered deck, is that ok to do? or will it affect my filtered decks as you mentioned.
question that Im thinking this video still helps answer. Say i want to plan ahead but instead of what you detailed starting at 4:03, I want to see cards due further in the future (likely mature or close to being so) in prep for a Shelf exam. These are cards that wont come before the exam date, but have been working on throughout the year and want to see them again in advanced of shelf before doing that as normal...is rememorize the right thing to do that.
and would that browser key in be "Prop:ivl>=10" then rememorized as you shown, which would get all the cards in a deck that were past the Shelf exam date ?
appreciate the assistance!
The Rememorize addon does not seem to work on the newer versions of Anki. It did wonders for me earlier but it has not been updated sadly. The set due to date option for 3-7 days does a similar job.
Thanks
What happens if you reposition the cards to today and you don't end up finishing them today? For instance, I have 600 reviews due tomorrow, but want to get a head start today, if I reposition all of them to today and finish say 200. Will the remaining 400 just stay as if they were assigned tomorrow?
I’m the furthest thing from a computer whiz so sorry for the stupid question, but why do I need the rememorize add on if I can go to my browser already and reposition tomorrow’s mature cards to today?
Thanks! that was useful. But I have some concerns:
,1- I don't understand at 13:34 why you put it "prop:due>-3", isn't that deck for the stuff you were actually gonna do on that same day (today in that time) ? so shouldn't it be "prop:due=0"? i didn't really get the bury part you mentioned after(that anki sometimes buries cards, is that a bug?), could you explain it please?
2- In the same deck (#DueToday) why did you put it so that to include due cards that are in due > -3, like there could be 1,2,3 right (cards of future days) , is it that because now you divided all your Anki decks into 2 major decks temporarily ; stuff 3 days ago and more (past oriented, skipped days), and stuff after the 3 days ago (future oriented, normal future days)? sorry if my questions are dumb but i'm really new to anki
Does the Free Weekend thing bypass the "don't skip days" rule? Just wondering because it looks like it would be good to have a day off for other things, but every Anki thing I see says not to skip days.
WOOF! A friend mentioned that they used the browser reschedule/reposition after an exam so they didn't get crushed with reviews when starting a new block with a bunch of new cards. They didn't mention the config of the ReMemorize add-on, so now I have a block of cards that have fuQd intervals :):):):):):) t god I noticed and only did it once or I would be in a lot more pain rn.
does prop::due=0 no longer work? When i input prop:: i can only select days ahead, or yesterday, but not today. Any advice? Thank you (:
That intro made me laugh!
:)
is there a way to see days overdue per deck on homepage?
Thank you very much for the video! I find it super helpful since I just started using Anking, and still getting into the habit of doing it everyday. I have used the overdue and due today features for a few weeks now, but one day when I clicked to rebuild the overdue filtered deck I got an error: "The provided search did not match any cards. Would you like to revise it?" And I have tried rewatching this video and remaking this deck, but was unsuccessful. Would you have any advice on how to proceed with this issue? Thank you in advance! :)
Something must be wrong in what you’re searching for in the filtered deck (hence why it’s saying no cards are showing up). Double check it’s filtering what you want
@@AnKingMed But it was working fine before and it still works for Due Today! I have tried doing it with a few decks that I am working on and it doesn't work, adjusting the timing also doesn't help. I apologize for my persistence, but I really miss this feature, is there an alternative route if I have a lot of overdue cards?
@@anastasiakalantarova2348 I'm not totally sure. I'd have to see all your search criteria and such to really figure out what's going on. You could try asking on a reddit sub but you'll want to provide details (r/Anki is probably best). We do offer individualized troubleshooting via our patreon if you'd like us to look through it all for you (www.patreon.com/ankingmed)
I tried to reposition cards (I've missed five days) and I get an error message that says only new cards can be repositioned. I'm not sure why.
What would happen if I used the rememorize to study ahead by 1 day on matures frequently? Would this affect the intervals long term if I have a max?
It wouldn't affect your intervals too much for mature cards, I wouldn't worry about it.
Hey, what would you recommend for my situation? I'm currently doing UWorld questions, but I have like 1k+ reviews everyday...needless to say, I will consistently NOT be able to get through them everyday (i.e. I take like 2 days to do the reviews I have for 1 day). Should I still bother with the ReMemorize addon? Or should I just do the filtered deck method?
Either are going to work for your situation. If you have extra free time on a day, it may be worth scheduling future cards to today so you can do them in advance, otherwise just do the filtered decks moving forward
@@AnKingMed thanks!
which one of these methods would you choose, if, say, you were going internationally for a week or so with no wifi? I don't want them to pile up on me
We'd all recommend using rememorize to move the mature cards.
Hey AnKing, I couldn't find anything related on Reddit but I was wondering is there such a thing as "skipping a new card?" So, say your going through new flashcards and you keep coming across cards that are similar. You don't want suspend them just skip them for now in an attempt to cover more ground. You run into this with the Cheezy Dorian and Zanki Step 2 decks. Any addons with this feature that you know of? Thanks.
Bury the card until the next day, or if they are from the same note, you can select bury related new cards in the options.
Hey, for some reason that prop:due=0 isn't working for me when I go to find cards due today.
any idea what it could be?
Try "is:due"
Hey The Anking over the last several weeks I have done as many as my reviews I could a day and then just simply pound the space bar to push out the leftover reviews so tomorrow will not be worse than today. Any advice as to how I could make a filter deck to maybe catch those cards that I just pushed out without seeing?
At this point no.. in the future I’d recommend just leaving them undone and make filtered decks to separate overdue cards vs cards due today
@@AnKingMed Thanks man. I think I will be ok. I do numerous repeated cards for situations such as this, so if I have to push out a card another one is coming up behind it covering the same stuff. I have a family so I can't plow through cards each day (especially on the weekends) like I need to. Here at the end of second year and the reviews are just crazy high.
Thank you for this! Would you recommend the delay overdue add-on?
I’ve never used it personally
When I moved all my cards for tomorrow to today, it took all my immature cards and gave me intervals of 1-3 days for all options. Most of those cards I was on the cusp of moving into mature, is there a reason for that?
Depends on which method you used. If you used the default rescheduling system within Anki, then it will always rewrite the ease of cards. If you set up the rememorize add-no correctly, this shouldn't happen.
Can you explain further why you do prop:due less than or equal/greater than 3. Wouldn’t this mean you’d be doing 3 days of cards for you due today filtered deck?
Only if you skipped the last few days. But if you bury a card today, it’s due date doesn’t change and if your today filtered deck was only set to today, that buried card would get moved to the overdue deck and then you wouldn’t see it for a long time (because that deck is set to show you more overdue cards first)
How would you do it 1 day early without rememorize? at 1:45 So we shouldn't use the 'review ahead' function in Custom Study button?
No, I wouldn't recommend that review ahead button
would creating a custom deck with is:due=1 and just doing the oldest cards change the interval of those cards?
Yeah I think it would because you're studying early. Refer to the algorithm in the beginning of this video for exactly how much it would change, but because its early I don't think it would be the usual interval algorithm
If I have skipped roughly 2 months of doing my Anki Decks and have accumulated about 5,000 missed reviews, what do you recommend doing?
Crying
8:40 Wait, I don't understand how is Start position in Reposition menu related to number of days? Reposition just allows you to change the order new cards will appear in. Does Rememorize add-on change the function of this menu?
Short answer: yes. I highly recommend reading the Anki web page for the Rememorize add-on. You can do so much with it!
@@AnKingMedI will. Thank you!
I am really trying to use anki as efficiently as you are but trying to figure that out all that having not known that prior, would take me 40-45 minutes just for a days worth of some cards. I am not sure if you are apart of the makers of anki but it would be awesome and more user friendly to have an easier method about such as like having a drop down option for example; to bypass copying, pasting, and modifying code as you have so elegantly put it in the video. I don’t mean to be rude, just my thoughts to help the not so gifted when it comes to computers. Thanks for your videos you are really helpful.
Luke Adams we aren’t at all related to the makers of Anki and none of us actually understand any code to make addons so we’re in the same boat as you! We started this CZcams channel to help because it’s a difficult program
I'm going to study a vocabulary book that has many chapters (about 50), and want Anki to create each chapter, not all vocabulary from A to Z of the book be in a long list. Should I create subdecks for each chapter to reach this I wish? I'd like to manage and see each chapter in the Browser window. Would you please record a tut about this subject? Thank you!
Yeah you could use subdecks and/or tags to organize that
@@AnKingMed Cool, thank you Anking!
What is your reasoning for having your Rememorize config set to ""skip_new_card_types_on_reposition": true"" ?
It sort of explains what that does in the config, but it basically prevents you from rescheduling new cards to have a due date and retains the default anki reposition function for new cards
@@AnKingMed but do you do that just because you think the anki algorithm is more effective for the new cards? or is there other reasoning behind it?
@@erickotiniano6654 repositioning new cards just moves the new cards to a different order if you wanted to specify the order of how you see things. If you reposition cards with rememorize (i.e. set that to false), then it would essentially be "rescheduling" them into the future. As long as you understand how it works, you could use the setting either way and just make it work for what you're trying to do
Hi The AnKing! Do you know any way to fix "skipped day". I have done all cards of that deck on my phone and then forgot about that and forced syncing. After a few days I figured out that I lost my streak :( I have lost streak on one of my decks but it hurts :P
Change the time on your computer to a previous date, and then you can do a card. Reset your time back and then sync. Your streak should be fixed!
@@AnKingMed Unfortunately Anki doesn't allow to sync when computer date isn't the same as server's - "Syncing requires the clock on your computer to be set correctly. Please fix the clock and try again." :( Maybe there is any way to past it?
Does this work with cards that are not matured yet? I am trying to review cards early so that they coincide with the days before my exam.
Yes it does!
@@AnKingMed I tried this, and it messed up the intervals... previous cards would have given me the option of 6 days on good, but now they are only two days. Not sure what went wrong here..
I will be having my exam in the middle of June, what would be your recommendation to me for 1- unstudied materials(like should I apply this every day filtered decks/make the cram you explained in this video)? 2- already studied decks(do they need filtered decks)?
Suggestions are welcome :)
@The AnKing how to do that the patreon ? Guide me please!

At 1:25, the 185% ease for early cards instead of the 250% ease are still true with the new Anki 2.1 scheduler ? I didn’t find reference to this in the faq (faqs.ankiweb.net/the-anki-2.1-scheduler.html) but maybe this : “Scheduling of cards that aren't yet due has been improved, and will show 4 buttons instead of 3.”
And this author claims there is no more penalty for studying ahead. (ankiweb.net/shared/info/1705079002)
Plus there is a built-in "reschedule" command in last version of Anki that would allow to postpone and possibly spread selected cards between intervals.
that add-on will remove the penalty for studying ahead and would work reasonably well. The reschedule that's built in will reset the ease to 250% I believe, so I recommend using the ReMemorize version of it
Is this better than just accumulating cards and making them up?
There's pros and cons to each.. I prefer to reposition them
Which one of this setting work at iPad anki ?
Huda Hedayah this is an addon so you’ll need to use the desktop anki
Is it possible to made setting at desktop Anki and synchronized it to iPad anki ?
Yeah you can do that
Thank you so much
what are the pros, cons to the rememorize vs filtered decks for skipped days?
I don't know that there's pros/cons per se, just a matter of preference. As I showed, the algorithm will be slightly longer if you use the filtered deck version because anki will factor in the extra days, but rememorize is preferable to some because they can essentially get their card count down to 0 every day. Both are effective:)
can you further explain why you wouldnt recommend just postponing all of your cards by one day
I find it better to keep the cards that have shorter intervals on their algorithm as small adjustments can make big changes (3 vs 4 days). But with cards that have larger intervals, a small adjustment (ie 31 vs 32 days) doesn’t make a big difference
I have 6040 due cards
Ouch... I hope this video helps you catch up on those!
HAHAHAHAH that intro
i think it's just easier not to skip a day...
Fuck this. . .im just gonna review my cards.
