Do the step1 and step2 decks have overlap? If so, are they both cross tagged? (I click on the step 1 deck and it’s 31k and the step 2 says 26k; are overlapping cards included in both?)
If I’m prepping for step2, do I need to venture into the step1 deck? Or will the step2V12 have it all?

Based on my research, I can provide you with information about the overlap between Step 1 and Step 2 decks in the AnKing Step Deck (V12).
The AnKing Step Deck is designed as a comprehensive resource for both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. From the information available, there is indeed some overlap between the two decks, but they are organized with distinct tagging systems.
The Step 1 deck contains approximately 31,000 cards, while the Step 2 deck contains around 26,000 cards. Some cards are relevant to both exams and appear in both decks, but they are tagged appropriately to show which exam they relate to.
If you’re specifically preparing for Step 2, you should focus primarily on the Step 2 deck, but be aware that:
The deck is designed with a tagging system that allows you to identify which cards are most relevant to each exam. You can use tags like #AK_Step1_v12 and #AK_Step2_v12 to distinguish between content relevant to each exam.
Since you’re preparing for Step 2, I would recommend:
The AnKing team has designed the deck to be comprehensive while allowing you to focus on what’s most relevant for your specific exam preparation needs.
Hello,
I’m just checking in to make sure the bot answered your question.
There is some overlap, so you should only need to study the Step 1 tag if you feel the need to. For instance, if you find yourself forgetting some basic concepts.
Also, if you think there are too many cards in the Step 2 tag, you can explore the more specific subtags, which are tagged based on various study resources.
Let me know if you need anything else! 
Thank you so much. Yes the bot did answer my question. Thanks for checking in.
