I'm an incoming MS1 myself and trying to decide if I want to be one of those people that will do flashcards every.single.day. until Step 1 starting on the 1st day of MS1. If y'all aren't familiar with this strategy, several people on SDN and Reddit have done it and it seems like if you are diligent with this and then put in the required work in dedicated, you're almost guaranteed to kill step 1.
Seems like there's two ways to do it which is through Anki and the most popular premade deck is Zanki (AnKing version now) or do it through Firecracker. From what I've gathered, Firecracker is the more seamless software and actually has concepts on their flashcards whereas Anki's software is more barebones but actually better at spaced repetition and Zanki cards are more factoid memorization.
At this point, I'm leaning toward Firecracker but would love to hear insight from those that have been through it and those in the same position as I am.
