I've been hacking away at the Core2.3k Anki deck for over 50 days already, doing 10 new cards a day, and I'm getting a lot less daily reviews than most people should have with that amount. I've never reached 45, and I often have less than 30, so I'm thinking I may be ready to move on to 2A, but I wanna check how much vocab I have before making that decision. Is there some way I can check how much vocab I have, for sure?
#Can I measure how much vocabulary I have somehow?

If you press the stats button on Anki you can see a breakdown of how many cards are unlearned, young, or mature. Along with a number of other data points.

The most important thing to consider when you're thinking about moving to 2a is to ask yourself this question:
Do I notice enough potential 1t sentences on a consistent basis to be able to effectively sentence mine?
If the answer is no, you're not ready for 2a.

Hmm, I see... I'd have to really check that, actually.

Don't you have 500 words
I mean vocabulary outside of the deck.

There are test you can take online that will guesstimate your vocab, they aren’t that accurate though.
Oh and just cause I’m curious, 10 cards a day with only around 30 reviews seem like a really low amount of reviews. That would mean you are basically passing all the cards right? How are you grading when to pass or fail?

Reviews might also be capped in the settings

don't worry about "vocabulary outside the deck". Focus on comprehension
all the levels are based on comprehension levels
worring too much about "measuring my vocab" and other arbitrary things IMO is counter productive.
use easy things like "anki card count etc etc" is fine as a general idea of progress. (eventhough it's imperfect)
but just focus on immersing everyday, getting some cards everyday and level up based on comprehension requirements and you'll be fine.

I'm following the Refold recommendation of passing them whenever I recognize the word after either reading it or lisening to it, which is why I'm thinking my vocabulary might be bigger than I originally estimated.

But I asked when to level up from 1 to 2A, and I was told to do it after finishing the first 1000 cards of Core2.3k, since stage 1 doesn't actually have any comprehension requirements to level up from.

You can move to the next stage when you can comfortably find 1t sentences in the content you use to immerse (1t means you only need to look up 1 thing to fully understand it) . This isn’t based on an amount of words as you could technically know them all but not understand a sentence.
This varies person to person usually between 600 and 1200 words before they start sentence mining from what I’ve seen

it's not an exact science. The stages give approximate best practices during each step of your journey. just feel it out based on the creteria listed on the website. you can always go back if you feel you jumped too early, it's not a big deal.
if you want a solid answer because that ambiguity is hard to handle, then just wait till you have 1000 cards in anki
but as soon as you feel you are ready to sentence mine, you will be fine
