Anki flashcards built from your AQA biology notes

Revision for the AQA GCSE biology exam goes faster with AQA GCSE biology flashcards for Anki made from the notes you already have, so you spend less time copying terms out by hand.

  • Cards grouped by AQA topic areas such as cell biology, infection and response, and bioenergetics.
  • Key terms, definitions and process questions drawn from your own notes.
  • Short answer cards you can check against the source material before you study.
  • A free plan to try it out, with three generations per month and browser study.
Example AQA GCSE biology flashcards
What is the function of the cell membrane?It controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is osmosis?The net movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to a more concentrated one.
What does the enzyme amylase do?It breaks down starch into maltose in the digestive system.
What is antibiotic resistance?When bacteria evolve so an antibiotic no longer kills them, which happens through natural selection.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, slides, Word files or plain notes, or photograph a textbook page and have the text read.

Spaced repetition

Cards return at the intervals your memory needs, so topics like the cell cycle stay with you until the exam.

Export to Anki

Send your deck to Anki on the Plus plan, alongside PDF, DOCX and CSV export.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file or photo of your biology notes.

Review the cards

Check the flashcards generated from your AQA topics and keep the ones you need.

Study or export

Revise in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki on Plus.

Good biology cards test one idea at a time. A card asking what osmosis is works better than one asking you to recall a whole paragraph, and short answer cards help you check that you can explain a process in your own words.

Because the cards come from your own material, they follow the topics your teacher covered, from cell biology and infection and response to bioenergetics and ecology.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GCSE biology?

There is no fixed number, but keep each card to one fact or process step so it is quick to answer. Start with the key terms and definitions for one topic, then add process cards once those feel familiar.

Should I learn biology terms or processes first?

Start with the key terms, because processes such as osmosis or photosynthesis are much easier to explain once the vocabulary is secure. Then move on to process cards that ask you to describe each stage in order.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export to Anki is a Plus feature at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Plus also includes unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX and CSV export.

Is there a free plan?

The free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports. You can start without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
