I just downloaded Anking V12 and I have a few questions.
I’ll currently use it for two main goals for Step 1 and in school exams. I’ll be starting OBGYN block in a few weeks.
1. Should I create a filtered deck with all the OBGYN tags (STEP 2) for the in school exam? or do I only choose specific tags based on my preferred resources?
2. For Step 1, I’m lost on how to start. Do I suspend all the cards based on the system I’m studying currently (Cardio)? or do I only choose specific tags of the system I’m studying currently (Cardio) based on my preferred resources.

There’s no hard-and-fast rule there; neither is right or wrong. Just depends on what you want to focus on and how.
Most folks will start with the deck entirely suspended, and then unsuspend as you want to focus on given topics. That might mean unsuspending as you go through specific blocks in your coursework, or as you go alongside a resource when studying on your own, etc. But, again, there’s not really a one-sized-fits-all answer, as the best approach will often be informed by your needs, goals, time, etc.
