Definitive Anking Deck?
The version on Ankihub which is tagged as V12 will be the most up to date. V11 is over 2 years old and will have a decent amount of out of date information. V12 can sometimes take a little to update things (e.g. took until early this year to get 2022 CDC developmental milestones fully incorporated), but is actually being maintained. If you don't want to pay a continued sub, it's generally worth the $5 for a single month to at least update the deck.
I agree with this. The $5 a month for ankihub is the best bang for the buck you will get out of massive amount of money spent on medical education.

The general agreement is that the Anking V12 deck on Ankihub is preferred. The newer version will have the most up-to-date info for STEP prep, even if it takes some time to incorporate the latest changes fully. Paying the $5 monthly sub for Ankihub to access the V12 deck sounds like a small price for such a comprehensive resource.
And, if you truly can't afford the $5 per month sub, they just make you watch a video acknowledging you understand their support model, and then you get a "scholarship" for a few months at a time, which covers the cost.
i used v11 and passed usmle first try, if you don't want to pay for it I don't think it'll kill you
