Should I delete my MCAT and undergrad ANKI cards?

[deleted804295]

My ANKI keeps alerting me that I'm using too much space and decks. I was wondering if I should delete my MCAT and undergrad cards?

I kept mine But I have no idea why. I’ll never use them again. They have premade decks for med school. There is no reason for an MCAT deck at this point. If you’re worried, back it up to a thumb and then delete it.

It's because of nostalgia

It's hard to delete in a second what took hundreds of hours to make. I'm never again making my own ANKI cards.

If you really wanna hold onto them just export the deck from Anki and save it somewhere else, then you can delete it in Anki and you won't get alerts.

Most nothing from the MCAT shows up again in med school except the metabolic cycles and maybe some of the behavioral sciences stuff (erikson, development, etc)

Delete. Even if there is some small overlap between undergrad info and med school material, there is a 0% chance that you will go back to an MCAT flashcard to re-learn it.

Also, use tags instead of decks for organization. This add on can convert decks into tags if that helps. Then you shouldn’t get that error going forward. Convert Subdecks to Tag Hierarchy - AnkiWeb

Why tags?

 

[Cornfed101]

Because you can have an unlimited number of tags. If you had an infinite number of decks it would slow your Anki down to oblivion. Also, you can add multiple tags and Glutanimate made a sweet add on called Better Tags that lets you edit, drag, and otherwise mess with your tags. It's just a better way to organize decks and allows you to search for and unsuspend/suspend stuff much more quickly

If you screenshot this post you will have easy access to all of the relevant MCAT material you will ever need.

You just got a 15 or 132 on the Physics/ Chem section (depending on which exam scores people want to reference)

The day my score released I deleted my entire MCAT folder that I had on my PC for like 6 years. Let it go OP, let it go.
