Introduction to the Deck
This deck is the best deck for USMLE Step 1 & Step 2 and is mostly comprehensive. It can also be used for USMLE Step 3.
It combines the best parts of different acclaimed medicine-related decks and is probably the best organization currently available. It is also infinitely updatable via AnkiHub so we as a medical school community can continually bring it up to date for new content.

Why use AnkiHub for the AnKing Step Deck?
The AnKing Step Deck was originally created as a combination of other decks, putting together all of the great content from prolific Anki users to create a single, reliable resource for USMLE exam preparation.
Updates to this deck were intermittently published on Reddit, but there was not a platform that allowed us to keep up with the constant changes and additions taking place across platforms like First Aid, Sketchy, UWorld, etc.
Simply put, AnkiHub was born out of necessity - this tool gives us the ability to update tags, revise content, add entirely new cards, and so much more in order to ensure that our deck is both accurate and current.
How the decks were made - what resources were used
Step 1
- BlueGalaxies Zanki Deck (which is based on the Original Zanki deck)
- Mix of Costanzo Physiology and First Aid for physiology
- Pathoma for pathology
- Sketchy micro & pharm
- Kaplan neuro for the neurology section
- BlueGalaxies added many edits and new cards based on UWorld and NBME content
- BlueGalaxies added new cards for the Pathoma Neoplasia section and micro/pharm to fill in what Zanki didn’t do
- Lolnotacop
- Used Sketchy micro & pharm to fill in everything that Zanki didn’t do
- Also filled in Pathoma Neoplasia section that Zanki didn’t do
The duplicates between BlueGalaxies and Lolnotacop has mostly been resolved and the better cards were saved while the other duplicate was deleted.
Step 2
- Zanki Step 2
- Made a basic set of step 2 cards based mostly on UWorld
- Cheesy Dorian (Based on the original Dorian)
- Dorian built upon Zanki Step 2. Cheesy Dorian added even more updates. Used a variety of resources like amboss, case files, exam guru, ome, step up to medicine, usptf guidelines, uva questions, high yield facts, uwise, uworld, etc. See the
Original_Deckstag for every resource used. - Cheesy Dorian had subdecks for each rotation. If a card was relevant to two rotations (i.e. surgery AND internal medicine), they duplicated the note. This led to a significant amount of duplicate notes, sometimes 3 or 4 copies of the same note. We have done our best to sort through this, but there are still some potential duplicates (these are tagged)
- Dorian built upon Zanki Step 2. Cheesy Dorian added even more updates. Used a variety of resources like amboss, case files, exam guru, ome, step up to medicine, usptf guidelines, uva questions, high yield facts, uwise, uworld, etc. See the
- MedicalArk
- Filled in missing content that wasn’t included by Zanki or Dorian decks, mostly based on UWorld
