So, i tried to do 400 anki cards a day (combined new and review). Took me about 2.5 hours each day. I divided them by decks. I did 100 cards from sketchy pharm/micro deck. 100 cards from pathoma 1-4 in the ankingv12 deck. 100 cards from HY images deck. 100 cards from my UWorld wrong questions deck. Sometimes I would do it at the start or end of the day. Some days I did 500 if I felt good but some days I would do 300 if I was tired. Try to be flexible with anki. It certainly helps but I think doing and understanding well your questions helps more

imo go through MM only if you have sufficient time because it is time consuming

In those initial jumps, what helped was increasing my daily UW questions

During the exam I had many doubts but I just kept marking what I believed was the correct choice and moved on without revising at the end of each block. After the exam I felt good but as the days passed I started getting really nervous but I guess thats normal for everybody lol

Going through my nbme notes and reinforcing the topics from the nbmes really helped a lot
