Why build your own MCAT deck

Many shared MCAT decks were written for someone else's course, so their cards may not match your review sheets or the topics you miss on practice questions. The most useful good MCAT Anki decks usually come from the material you are actually reading.

  • Cards come from your own textbooks, slides, and notes
  • Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget
  • Edit or delete any card before it reaches your review queue
  • Export to Anki on Plus when you want your deck in another app
Example MCAT flashcards from biochemistry and psychology
What does the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relate?It relates pH to pKa and the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid: pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]).
What does Km represent in Michaelis-Menten kinetics?The substrate concentration at which reaction velocity is half of Vmax. A lower Km means higher enzyme affinity for the substrate.
Which cranial nerve controls the lateral rectus muscle?Cranial nerve VI, the abducens nerve, which moves the eye outward.
What is the difference between sensation and perception?Sensation is the detection of stimuli by sensory receptors. Perception is the brain's interpretation and organization of that sensory input.
What is the main purpose of the Krebs cycle?It oxidizes acetyl-CoA to CO2 while producing NADH, FADH2, and GTP, which feed into energy production.

Cards from your own sources

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images, so handwritten-scan style pages still become cards.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards are scheduled so you review the ones you are about to forget. The schedule runs in the browser on every plan.

Export to Anki on Plus

Plus exports your decks to Anki, plus PDF, DOCX, and CSV. Your MCAT deck can live in the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the chapters, lecture slides, or notes you are studying for the MCAT.

Generate and review cards

DeckOwl creates flashcards from the content. Trim or edit any card that does not match your course.

Study or export

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki on a Plus plan.

Cards written from your own notes tend to be narrower and easier to recall than broad shared cards. When a card covers one idea, spaced repetition can schedule it more accurately.

Start with the sections where your practice scores are weakest, then add cards as you work through passages. Over time, the deck reflects what you need to remember.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for MCAT review?

There is no fixed number that works for everyone. Focus on the concepts you keep missing in practice questions, and add cards as your weak areas show up.

Are prebuilt MCAT Anki decks worth using?

Shared decks can be a useful reference, but they often include cards from other courses. Check each card against your own review materials before you rely on it.

Can I export my cards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month, you can export to Anki along with PDF, DOCX, and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

What does the free plan include?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. It does not include exports, and you do not need a credit card to start.
