Build a biology deck that matches your MCAT prep

Most ready-made MCAT biology Anki decks cover a generic syllabus, so the cards often miss what your prep book or course stressed. A deck built from your own material keeps the review focused on the concepts you actually need to recall.

Cards built from your own textbook chapters and lecture slides
One concept per card so answers are clear and easy to self-check
Spaced repetition to focus review on the cards you miss
Export to Anki, CSV or PDF on the Plus plan

Example MCAT biology flashcards

What does the sodium-potassium pump do in a neuron?It moves 3 Na+ out and 2 K+ in per ATP hydrolyzed, maintaining the resting membrane potential.

Which enzyme unwinds DNA ahead of the replication fork?Helicase, which uses ATP to break hydrogen bonds between base pairs.

What is the net ATP yield of glycolysis per glucose?2 ATP net (4 produced, 2 invested), plus 2 NADH.

In the lac operon, what does allolactose do?It binds the repressor and releases it from the operator, allowing transcription to proceed.

Where does the citric acid cycle take place in eukaryotes?In the mitochondrial matrix, where acetyl-CoA is oxidized to produce NADH, FADH2 and GTP.

Generate the full set

Upload any format

Add PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of textbook pages. Text recognition reads the images.

Spaced repetition built in

Flashcards are scheduled so you review weak cards more often and strong ones less often.

Export to Anki on Plus

Move your deck into Anki, or export as CSV or PDF, with unlimited generations on the Plus plan.

How it works

Upload your material

Drop in the biology chapters, lecture slides or notes you are studying for the MCAT.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards, edit any that are unclear, and keep the ones that match your course.

Study and export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.

Good biology cards ask for one fact or mechanism at a time, such as the enzyme involved, the direction of a flow, or the net yield of a pathway. Start with one unit, check that each card has a single clear answer, and add more cards as you move through the content.

When the deck is ready, review it on a spaced schedule and export to Anki if you prefer that app. Re-generate from new notes whenever your course changes.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for MCAT biology?

Aim for cards on the concepts you keep missing rather than every sentence in a chapter. Many students build a deck one unit at a time, keeping each card to a single fact or mechanism.

Are flashcards good for memorizing pathways like glycolysis or the citric acid cycle?

Yes, if each card asks for one step at a time, such as the enzyme, the substrate or the net yield. Pathway-level cards work better once you can recall the individual steps.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan along with CSV and PDF export. Free accounts can study in the browser but cannot export.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
