🌸 UWorld → AnKing Topic Decks

Turn your UWorld incorrect questions and bookmarked questions into organized AnKing flashcard decks!

Tired of manually searching for UWorld question IDs, finding the corresponding AnKing cards, and organizing everything yourself?

UWorld → AnKing Topic Decks helps you organize the concepts you're studying into Anki filtered decks using your existing AnKing V12 flashcards.

Save questions while studying, automatically identify incorrect answers from completed quizzes, and study the matching flashcards with Anki's spaced repetition.

✨ No duplicate flashcards. No manually searching hundreds of QIDs. Just UWorld → AnKing → Review.

✨ Features

📌 1. Save questions with one click

While taking or reviewing a UWorld quiz, click the floating Save QID button to bookmark any question you want to study later.

• Save correct or incorrect questions
• Move the floating button wherever you want
• Save questions during a quiz or while reviewing it
• Keep saved questions organized by quiz
• Return to previously saved quizzes

🔍 2. Automatically find your incorrect questions

Once you finish a UWorld quiz:

1. Open the completed Test Results page.
2. Click Scan Results Table in the browser extension.
3. The extension identifies available QIDs and their correct/incorrect results.
4. Incorrect questions and your manually saved questions are selected together.

Wrong + Manually Saved is the recommended default.

Questions you've already saved won't be duplicated when they're also detected as incorrect.

🧠 3. Match questions to AnKing flashcards

Automatically find existing AnKing V12 flashcards using their UWorld question-ID tags.

• Match UWorld QIDs with existing AnKing cards
• Automatically preselect matching cards
• Review and deselect individual cards if desired
• Identify questions without matching cards
• Optionally unsuspend selected cards

No need to manually search AnKing for every question.

📚 4. Automatically organize filtered decks

Your selected flashcards are organized into a hierarchy using available UWorld system and category information.

Example:

UWorld Topics

• Cardiovascular
• Renal
  • Glomerular diseases
  • Tubulointerstitial diseases
• Rheumatology/Orthopedics
  • Autoimmune disorders and vasculitides
  • Bone and joint disorders

Actual folders depend on your imported quiz results.

You can also switch to a combined All Wrong Questions filtered deck containing cards associated with incorrect questions across your imported quizzes.

🔄 5. Spaced repetition and FSRS compatibility

Study using Anki's normal scheduling.

• Supports FSRS-compatible review
• Rebuild decks with eligible new and due cards
• Avoid unnecessarily repeating cards before they're due
• Preserve existing review history
• Rebuild or empty filtered decks without deleting imported quiz history

Normal scheduling requires filtered-deck rescheduling to be enabled.

💾 6. Save quiz history and create backups

• Keep separate records for different UWorld quizzes
• Track previously imported QIDs
• Maintain a cumulative incorrect-question history
• Back up imported quiz metadata within Anki
• Back up unimported browser quiz selections to Anki when connected
• Restore saved quiz lists from a successful backup

Important: Browser backups require Anki Desktop to be running and the connection to succeed. Add-on metadata is not automatically synced through AnkiWeb, so export backups separately.

🌸 Easy Setup — Browser Extension Included!

You only need to download the Anki add-on from AnkiWeb. The companion browser extension is included in the package.

Step 1 — Install the Anki add-on

Install the add-on, restart Anki, and open your collection.

A Welcome / Quick Start window should automatically appear if browser setup hasn't been completed.

You can reopen it anytime through:

Tools → UWorld Topic Decks → Quick Start / Setup

Step 2 — Install the browser extension

In Quick Start, choose:

• Set Up in Microsoft Edge

The setup assistant opens your selected browser, copies the included extension folder location, and provides illustrated instructions.

In your browser:

1. Open Manage extensions using the puzzle-piece icon or browser menu.
2. Enable Developer mode.
3. Click Load unpacked.
4. In the folder-selection window, press Ctrl + L, Ctrl + V, then Enter.
5. Click Select Folder.

You don't have to search through your computer to find the included extension.

Chrome and Edge require these one-time manual installation steps for unpacked extensions.

Step 3 — Connect to Anki

1. Keep Anki Desktop open.
2. Click the browser's puzzle-piece icon and open UWorld Topic Decks Companion.
3. Click Connect to Anki.
