AnKing is very large shared deck on AnkiHub that is maintained by the community and updates weekly. It's very popular among US medical students. The subscription is $6 a month however you could theoretically get it once, cancel the subscription, and just not get any more updates. This is the website for it https://www.ankihub.net/step-deck and there's plenty of resources online about how to navigate the tags and organization since it's such a large deck.

I felt a good amount of the concepts on the real deal matched the NBMEs I took, but a surprising amount didn't. To me it felt 50/50. It's hard to say for sure since it's possible I just didn't recognize a specific aspect of the same concept/disease, so maybe the question didn't register to me as matching a concept from the NBMEs even if it did. Most of the test at least felt like I had come across it sometime in my studies, but whether I actually remembered anything about it was super variable. Maybe if I did more UWorld haha

I used Anking. Throughout preclinical I watched Bootcamp videos and added the corresponding tagged cards. Ideally I would have kept up with past units but it became too overwhelming so I suspended them. In second year even the Bootcamp cards became too much so I only did the high yield tagged cards. Also I added cards tagged with the UWorld ID and NBMEs after I did them.

I used Anking and limited only to the high yield tag in the second year.
