Custom Study option (AnkiDroid)

 

Study memory items (or other chapters) only (outside of your Anki schedule) (AnkiDroid)

It is possible to study flashcards of certain decks or with certain tags by using the custom study option. Based on you choice, a certain amount of flashcards will be selected which you can study until you've review them all to your satisfaction.

Studying a specific deck

You can use the custom study option on any (sub)deck. As an example I will use the "Approaches" deck of the A320 Family flashcards.

Press and HOLD the deck you want to study, in this case approaches


After holding long enough, a menu will open. Click "Custom Study"


Select "Limit to particular tags"


Since we are reviewing an entire deck, make sure no tags are selected. If the deck you want to review does not contain any cards with tags, it will say "You haven't added any tags yet". Click "Select" on the bottom right. 


Studying a specific tag (e.g. Memory Items)

You can also use the custom study option to study a specific tag. As an example I will use the "[MEM]" tag (memory items) of the A320 Family flashcards.

Press and HOLD the ATPL deck in order to make sure all cards with your chosen tag are included.




Then follow the same steps as for studying a specific deck (described above) until you reach the page below. Select the [MEM] tag and click "Select" to continue.




Reviewing the Custom Study deck

You will be redirected to the home page where you can see a "Custom study session" has been created. Click "Study" and review the cards until none are left. The principle is the same as when studying in your normal schedule. Once you've clicked "Easy", the card will disappear from your custom study session.


Do note that creating a custom study session removes the selected flashcards from your 'normal' decks, so as long as these flashcards are in the custom study deck, they won't appear when you do your normal schedule studying until you've cleared them in your custom study. Therefore make sure that if you haven't finished your custom study session, delete the custom study deck to make the cards return to the original deck. You will not delete the cards itself! Click and HOLD the "Custom study session" deck



Once the menu appears, click delete deck. This will return all cards to their original position.
