Youâre right that most of the wellâknown âSketchy-basedâ community decks (Pepper, Rooche/roocky, etc.) can feel messy if youâre not in the full USMLE workflow. On AnkiHub specifically, there isnât currently an official, fully-tagged, Sketchyâonly, nonâUSMLE deck listed in the docs or FAQs that I can see.
That said, here are some practical options that usually work well for people in your situation:
1. Use a Sketchyâheavy organized deck and suspend what you donât need
Even if youâre not doing USMLE, the AnKing Step Deck is:
- Very well organized with clear tags (including Sketchy-related tags)
- Continuously maintained and updated
- Fully integrated with AnkiHub
What you can do:
-
Subscribe to AnKing Step Deck on AnkiHub
- Go to the Explore page.
- Subscribe to âAnKing Step Deck (V12)â.
-
In Anki, filter to Sketchyâbased cards using tags like:
tag:Sketchy- Or more specific:
tag:Sketchy::Micro,tag:Sketchy::Pharm, etc. (the exact tag structure is documented here:
What do all the fields mean in the AnKing Step Deck?)
-
Suspend everything else
- In the Browser, search:
deck:"AnKing Step Deck" - Then exclude sketchy tags and suspend those cards, or do the reverse (select Sketchy cards and move them into their own deck).
- In the Browser, search:
Youâll end up effectively with a âSketchyâonlyâ study setup but using a deck that actually has good tags and full coverage.
2. Clean up Pepper/Rooche for yourself with tags
If you really want a pure Sketchy deck and donât care about nonâSketchy cards:
- Import Pepper or Rooche into Anki.
- Add your own tags based on:
- Sketchy video title
- Subject (Micro, Pharm, Path, etc.)
- Then sync that personal deck to AnkiHub as your own private deck if you want to keep it synced across devices (but it will be your responsibility to maintain it).
This is more work up front, but then itâs fully tailored to your needs (nonâUSMLE, only Sketchy, subjects you care about).
3. A few concrete questions so we can target better
If you reply with:
- What exactly youâre studying for (e.g., med school exams in X country, PA school, pharmacy, etc.)
- Which Sketchy products you use (Classic Micro, Pharm, Path, Internal Med, etc.)
- Whether youâre okay using a USMLEâoriented deck but trimming it down
then I can suggest a more specific workflow (e.g., exact tag searches, how to build filtered decks, which AnKing tags to rely on).
In summary: there isnât a perfect âSketchyâonly, nonâUSMLEâ premade AnkiHub deck thatâs wellâtagged, but using AnKing Step with Sketchy tags + suspension is usually the fastest way to get very close to what youâre looking for without chaos.
Hello,
I would be happy to help. 
Iâm not aware of anyone having created a Sketchy-only deck, unfortunately. Though it may also be worth pointing out that Sketchy itself as least partially bases its info on the USMLE exams, so there may necessarily be some conflict there. That being said, lots of folks use USMLE resources, including Sketchy, even if they are not necessarily entirely (or only) preparing for the USMLE exams
It may be that such a deck does exist though Sketchy, like many large medical resources, is largely written specifically with certain fields in mind (medical school, etc., which for many folks centers around the USMLE exams)
That being said, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of decks on AnkiHub and you might poke around and see if someone has uploaded a Sketchy deck that might serve your purposes. For sure there are a few decks on AnkiHub that make use of Sketchy in one form or another, and the search function on AnkiHub.net may be useful in this regard
There arenât any Sketchy-only decks that are maintained by the AnkiHub team, at least, and so the decks you find will likely have been uploaded by individual users and thus the quality may vary considerably. It may be expected that organization, quality, etc., will be considerably variable and so, as you note, they may not be complete or exhaustive
Granting all of that, you might still find the AnKing Step deck useful. It is extensively tagged by Sketchy, and far better maintained than nearly all other decks. Sketchy itself is at least somewhat centered around the USMLE exams, so you may not be able to avoid that bias entirely, unfortunately, but that might be where I would start at least
Additionally, it looks like the bot pretty well captured this basic rundown in its response as well:
Please let me know if that answers your question, and if thereâs anything else we can help with.
I feel like pepper and rockroovy ones are sketchy specific, but they are not organized like no tags, no subdecks. Or is it me?
Iâm not sure, tbh. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of decks on AnkiHub and Iâm not personally familiar with each of them, unfortunately
Given that those particular decks have been uploaded by private individuals there isnât much accounting for what, or how, they have organized their decks. It is entirely possible that their organization is anything from great, to poor, to non-existent; it really just depends on what they uploaded and how, if at all, they chose to organize those decks, ultimately
