Anki for medical board exams

Hi!

I need some help adjusting and optimizing Anki settings for my internal medicine board exams.

I have 8 decks (1 deck per specialty) with anywhere from 200-600 cards/deck. I have already studied all 8 decks for the first part of my exam which was a month ago but for the last month I have not done any Anki at all.

My next exam is at the end of May and I need to start Anki again. The last time I studied these cards, I felt I was not being asked certain cards at all and then other cards were repeating much more.

My current settings are: FSRS 80%, learning steps 10 min, 1 day, 3 days.

My questions are:

  1. How can FSRS be optimized?

  2. If I do 4 decks/day and alternate days, how can I optimize settings since Anki is meant to be done daily, not every other day?

  3. How can I ensure I am being shown cards more regularly that I do not know?
