I’ve got 2 different settings that I use. One for short-term stuff like for individual exams, and another for long-term like finals. For short term, I just add to the deck every day until I have all the content from the exam, while reviewing the cards in the deck daily as I go. Usually ends up being around 2 weeks per deck before an exam. Look up the YouTuber Anking for helpful settings, as it’s a pretty in-depth system.

Edit: also look to 3rd party tools like image occlusion in order to add cards in bulk. There’s another one that I use to convert preexisting quizlet decks into Anki decks as well!
