Why build Anki cards from UWorld explanations

Students who work through UWorld MCAT blocks often ask how to make Anki cards from UWorld MCAT explanations without retyping every missed fact. Start with the explanation text you already have, not the question stems.

Keep one fact per card so reviews stay quick.
Cut cards for content you answered confidently twice in a row.
Add the UWorld question number to the back of the card for later lookup.
Check every generated card against the explanation before exporting.

Example MCAT biochemistry and physiology flashcards

What is the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]), relating pH, pKa and the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid.

What does Km measure in Michaelis-Menten kinetics?The substrate concentration at which the reaction rate is half of Vmax. A lower Km means higher enzyme affinity for the substrate.

How do competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors differ in their effect on Vmax and Km?Competitive inhibitors raise the apparent Km with Vmax unchanged. Noncompetitive inhibitors lower Vmax with Km unchanged.

Which posterior pituitary hormone promotes water reabsorption in the kidney?Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin), which increases aquaporin-2 insertion in collecting duct cells.

In which compartment of a eukaryotic cell does the citric acid cycle occur?The mitochondrial matrix, producing NADH, FADH2 and GTP per turn of the cycle.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages and get flashcards drawn from your own UWorld review.

Spaced repetition

Cards resurface on a schedule so you review weak facts right before you would forget them.

Anki export on Plus

Plus exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan covers studying in the browser.

How it works

Save your review

Export UWorld explanations as a PDF or take clear screenshots of the pages you want to memorize.

Upload and generate

Drop the files into DeckOwl and generate flashcards from that material.

Edit and export to Anki

Trim duplicates and fix any card that misreads the source, then export to Anki on a Plus plan.

Cards work best when each one tests a single fact, rule or mechanism. A missed Henderson-Hasselbalch problem, for example, should become one card about the equation and a separate card about when to use it on test day.

DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and images, then drafts cards you can edit before studying. Check the drafts against the source, because generated cards are only as accurate as the text you give them.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one UWorld MCAT block?

Aim for one card per distinct fact or rule you missed, not one per question. Skip content you answered confidently on repeat attempts.

Can I use screenshots of UWorld explanations instead of a PDF?

Yes. Photos and screenshots of pages are read with text recognition, though typed notes usually give cleaner cards.

Can I export the cards to Anki?

Yes, but Anki export is a Plus feature at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser.

Is spaced repetition useful for memorizing MCAT biochemistry?

Yes. Spaced repetition shows each card again just before you would forget it, which suits long lists like metabolic pathways and enzyme kinetics.
