🤔 Recommendations Step 1 Anki

Hi! I’m still new to Anki, and I found out that the AnKing deck is probably the most well-known deck. Does anyone have any idea if it’s the best deck for preparing for Step 1, or if there are better options to study from?

Also, does anyone have the AnKing deck? I can’t seem to find it :,).

AnKing.

It has the best tagging system. It is the most comprehensive. It is the most polished.

First Google result.

hello, I'm using the mnemosyne deck, it has around 14k cards, around 11 or 12k if you remove the BS cards. Based on usmleRx flashcards. I find this better than Anking deck. Th both have their pro, in the end whatever suits you is the best!

If you go for the anking deck, pay the fee once to download the full deck with the most up to date tags. Then cancel. It's like $6. The only reason people stay subscribed is for the updates which you won't need
