You’re in a great spot to start, and there are decks on AnkiHub that work well for Step 3-style review.

From the forum docs, the main recommended option is the AnKing Step Deck (V12):

• In the wiki: Introduction to the AnKing Step Deck (V12)
• It’s primarily for Step 1 & Step 2, but the maintainers explicitly note that it “can also be used for USMLE Step 3.”

How to use it for Step 3 studying

Since you’re already in 4th year and mainly want Step 3-style, high‑yield review:

1. Subscribe to the AnKing Step Deck on AnkiHub

   • Install the AnkiHub add‑on in Anki.
   • Search for the AnKing Step Deck (V12) on AnkiHub and subscribe.
   • Sync to pull the deck into Anki.

2. Focus on higher‑yield / Step 2–3 relevant material

   • Use the High‑Yield tags in the AnKing deck to prioritize cards (see the FAQ: What is the “High Yield” tag and how should I use it?).
   • Emphasize medicine, surgery, OB/GYN, peds, psych, ethics, and ambulatory cards—these overlap heavily with Step 3 content.

3. Pair cards with question banks

   • Many people use AnKing mainly as a spaced-repetition backbone while doing UWorld / NBME-style questions.
   • After you do blocks of Step 3‑style questions, you can:
     • Suspend irrelevant preclinical cards.
     • Tag/suspend cards you truly know cold.
     • Add your own cards for missed questions and sync them to AnkiHub (your personal copy—doesn’t affect the shared deck).

4. Consider a lighter / targeted approach

   • If you’re short on time, you might:
     • Start with only High‑Yield + your weakest systems.
     • Use smaller subdecks focused on IM / ambulatory / multi‑step management.

If you share:

• Your timeline to Step 3
• How much Anki you realistically want to do daily
• What resources you’re using (UWorld, AMBOSS, etc.)

I can suggest a more concrete daily AnkiHub + Anki plan (e.g., which tags/subdecks to start with and rough new‑card limits).
