i am not sure if i have to re-take the exam.

however, now i’ll use the tag like w001::lvX-yy to tag those that really worth to remember.

Since sometime ago, i just copy and paste a textbook’s block into LLMs esp chatgpt,
and asked it to make flash cards and output as .csv. as title say, quite many are low yield questions that never examed.

ps: anki did help, with the TTS function from aweosome TTS, it produced pronounciation sound files that help my memory of words better.

others have told the same issue with LLMs making cards.

Thanks for shedding light on this. Learning is a deliberate process and outsourcing parts of it is risky. I hope you passed your exam and learned how to proceed afterwards.

One way to study if you have too many cards is to suspend all cards. If you unsuspend selected cards in Browse you can study only the cards you need. e.g.

  1. Suspend thousands of cards all at once. (Ctrl+A → right click → Toggle Suspend)
  2. Study in textbooks, lectures, etc.
  3. Search for cards you need with Browse and unsuspend them.
  4. New cards will appear and study them.
