I'm a med student, not a coder. I built this for my own studying (Vibe-coded) and I'm sharing it free — no paywall, no account, nothing to sell.

Caritas QBank is an Anki add-on that turns Anki's reviewer into a proper question-bank style interface. It is designed for MCQ decks and custom study blocks.

What the add-on does

• Two-column MCQ layout on desktop: question on the left, choices and live stats on the right.
• Collapses to a clean single-column layout on AnkiDroid / AnkiMobile.
• Answer once workflow: first-try correct can retire the card by suspending it; missed cards go into recovery until you get them right.
• First-pass analytics in a separate database, so it does not touch your Anki collection.
• Accuracy tracking by resource, system, topic, and other tags.
• Sure vs Unsure calibration.
• Trends and clickable incorrect journal.
• Skip like a real exam: press Next with nothing selected to skip and bury; use Show Skipped to finish skipped cards.
• Mark cards as Flag, Lucky, Guess, or Review.
• Build custom blocks by system, subsystem, topic, resource, or tags.
• No-code settings panel.
• Built-in guide and diagnostics.

⚠️ It does not modify Anki's scheduler or FSRS. “Retire” is just a normal suspend, so your reviews stay safe.

📦 The deck

• ~69,000 MCQs across 10 banks: UWorld, AMBOSS, USMLERx, Mehlman, NBME, PassMedicine, CanadaQBank, Amedex, BoardVitals, Prometric.
• Full explanations, images, tables, and lab values on every card.
• Cross-linked to AnKing (First Aid / Sketchy / Physeo content + tags) — "Open AnKing cards" button + "Study Resources" list per card.
• Clean hierarchical tags: Resource::, System::, Subject::, Topic::, QID::, and more.

Caritas MCQ note-type features

Shared by all 10 resource note types — same 34 fields, only accent color differs.

Front (question side)

• Sticky top bar — Exam · QID · First-pass badge, plus live stats (accuracy, answered, Question X/N) injected by the add-on.
• Question stem — full HTML, tables, LaTeX. Images capped at 300px; click to zoom (lightbox).
• Clickable choices — A–F+, selection highlights; peer-answer % shows after reveal.
• Check Answer + Next (Next with nothing picked = skip).
• Confidence — Sure / Unsure.
• Highlighter — toggle on, select text to highlight; Clear removes.

After answering

• Verdict banner — green Correct / red Incorrect; your wrong pick turns red + strike-through, correct one green.
• Marks — 🚩 Flag · 🍀 Lucky · ❓ Guess · 🔖 Review later (saved as tags).
• High-Yield teaching point + peer stats.
• Collapsible sections — Explanation (with Copy button), Media gallery, References, Reference Lab Values (standard USMLE ranges).
• AnKing Resources buttons — First Aid, Sketchy, Physeo, Pathoma, B&B, etc.; tap to expand copied content (images lazy-load).
• Open AnKing cards — gives a Browse search string to open the matching AnKing notes.
• Study Resources — auto-built from UWorldXRef::/AMBOSSXRef:: tags: which Sketchy video / chapter, with links to the site.
• Footer — source (Resource · Exam) + topic tags.

Under the hood

• Material-dark theme, per-resource accent, flat CSS (fast on weak GPUs).
• Responsive — 2-column MCQ on desktop, single column on AnkiDroid/AnkiMobile.
• Dark-mode correction — black/white source colors auto-fixed to readable.
• Broken images auto-hidden (no ugly missing-image icons).
• Keyboard shortcuts disabled inside the card — no accidental answering.
• Remembers your pick (sessionStorage) so reveal knows what you chose.
• Sends the MCQ result to the add-on (pycmd) for first-pass logging + retire/recovery.

Works without the add-on — choices, Check, reveal, highlight, zoom, collapsibles, AnKing buttons all function on their own. The add-on adds the live stats, first-pass badge, retire/recovery, skip-bury, and tag logging (desktop only).

cant upload on ankiweb the collection is too large i

Bonus

placed an html app (local) too that can let you browse anking cards by topics such as sketchy and automatically opens those cards in anki browser use Anki connect to use.

Built a Python script that extracts question text, explanations, QIDs, tags, and screenshots into an Anki-friendly format.

I know Anki isn't ideal for MCQs, but would anyone actually use something like this for review? Not sharing copyrighted content—just curious.

i don't know any coding this all vibe coded

Edit : Heres notetype example: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F5wY4IVOELU8NOONx86t2huWrIytFx2Q Please try it and comment

Edit:2 There's a highlight button, a reference range button, and a sound on/off toggle for the little chime when you get an answer right. All of this works on ankidroid too.

Edit 3 : The script wouldn't work on normal Uworld i used it on a copycat uworld website.

Hey everyone, i made this card to learn the cranial nerves course using anking one by one.

​

Do you think this format is okay or should i change it? it’s got a lot of info packed into one card so i’m not sure if that’s a bad idea. any suggestions would help.

​

Hope it helps
