Let's say I've only studied up to level 1, chapter 2, all lessons - how would I tell anki I only want to be quizzed on that material and not be asked something? (Using https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/722819818)

Hi, that’s a really good question. I wouldn’t mind knowing myself. Hopefully someone here knows how to do it.

Create a custom deck like:

deck:"DominoChinese::Main" card:"DC Recognition" is:new (tag:"level 1, chapter 2")

(I customized my deck, so names here might be a little different)

Are there any pre-made or recommended public desks anyone can recommend?
