Hi everyone. I am a med student. As many med students know, there are decks that contain pre-made cards that we all use. I have my own anki deck where I make my own cards based on our med school lectures. Then, if I know there’s third-party resource cards I wanna use, I go into the pre-made decks, find the relevant cards I wanna study, then MOVE the pre-made cards to my OWN deck, so it mixes with my handmade cards. This way all the cards I am studying are in one deck/spot, shuffled together. I have tried keeping cards separate and home in their premade deck, and just unsuspending them as needed, but I like it better the way I do it. Let’s call the pre-made deck I am tapping into and moving cards to my own deck, “Deck #1”. This will just help for later.
Well, here’s my problem. I want to be able to keep a set of the pre-made deck with all of its original cards (not missing the ones I’ve moved to my own deck) to study as I am studying for my USMLE/STEP1 board exam. Let’s call this deck “Deck #2”. I want to go in to the complete pre-made deck (Deck #2) and un-suspend sub-decks as needed. The problem is that when I try to import another copy of the pre-made deck, it obviously sees duplicates and removes them, and so the imported deck (Deck #2) is basically empty. I do not know how to fix this. I tried making multiple profiles, which worked for a bit, but I quickly realized that messed up synching and so I could never sync.
I want to keep Deck #1 AND Deck #2. Deck #1 for moving cards as needed to use while I’m still learning content for the first time, and Deck #2 to study for my board exam. Please help me!
