Card models are hardly unique to the deck. Statistics are mixed, but that's only because calculation of statistics of subsets of cards isn't currently implemented.

Edit: also, what sort of functional usefulness is there to be gained from the statistics?

(Please don't read my posts as being too argumentative; I do believe there is a "correct" answer here, but also in the event that there are advantages to separate-decks that I'm missing I want to know them, so I'm likely to keep up the debate until I'm convinced one way or the other)

I use several different decks. Firstly because that's how they came. Also it keeps them apart if I want to concentrate on a certain aspects. Also keeps stats separate. If you decide to stop a deck it's hard if they are mixed into one deck.

Is there something more to it than select-by-tag then suspend or delete?

If you merge the decks, it's easy to export a subset using tags in order to look at statistics if you need them.

As to the purpose of stats, everyone has their reasons. For myself, some are more useful than others.

I think the Kanji stats are over-rated simply because you don't know the context of each Kanji being counted. If you use a RTK deck, you're getting 100% stats which is know is meaningless. Plus, we don't know what on-yomi and kun-yomi are getting covered, which holds higher value when you begin reading native material and come across new combination of Kanji vocabulary. Still, it's nice to see more and more kanji get crossed off as time goes on.

Granted, my main purpose for stats is to see how much I've done over the last xx months. It's nice to see I did 50 hours of studying and 6000 items reviewed in 30 days. If I slack, it's right there in my face. Plus, that little function was added recently.

The stats that track how much work you've done are not exported, because they are stored in a cached format to save large graph load times. So if you want to track work per category, you need to keep separate decks.

Like hknamida says, all together. I've got RtK, sentences, topology, abstract algebra, MIPS architecture, chemistry, and assorted other miscellany mixed together.

Can you elaborate a little bit on the math part? I mean, how do you take advantage of SRS to study topology and abstract algebra, for example? I have no idea how to use SRS for this.


Thanks in advance.
