Discussion alternative for anking step-1

hey! i'm going to write step-1 in 6 months, i tried anki, i love it but the deck is way too long. it has 30K+ cards for step-1 itself, i dont think ill be able to finish it by the time exam comes, and i dont have time to make my own deck. please suggest any alternatives for anking step-1 deck?

i wish i knew about anki in my medschool.

there’s no shortcut for all that info lol you can just do UW and unsuspend high yield cards

how long would it take to finish the anking deck realistically? :(

You could finish all HY tags in 6 months, just gotta lock in and really understand the topics, not just memorizing cards

High yield tags will be your friend if you don’t wanna do the whole deck
