Study memory items (or other chapters) only (outside of your Anki schedule) (PC)
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.
Select the deck you want to study, in this case approaches
Click on "Custom Study" on the bottom of the screen
Select "Study by card state or tag" and "All cards in random order (don't reschedule)". If you plan to review a very large deck (for example all A320 flashcards), you can increase the number of cards to select to for example "1000" to make sure each card is included. In this example, the "Approaches" deck only includes 23 cards, so even though you've selected 1000, only 23 cards will be displayed. Click "Choose Tags" to continue.
Because we are studying an entire deck, don't select any tag on the selective study page. Click "OK" to continue.
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.
Select 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 "Require one or more of these tags" and click, in our example, "[MEM]" and click "OK" to continue.
Reviewing the Custom Study deck
You have now created a custom study deck, click "Study Now" 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!
