Why build MCAT review flashcards from your own material

If you already have Kaplan prep books, class handouts or lecture slides, the fastest way to turn them into practice is Kaplan MCAT review flashcards made from those exact pages. Generated cards stay tied to the content your exam prep actually covers, not a generic deck.

  • Upload your own review chapters, slides or photographed pages
  • Edit generated cards to match how your course or prep book phrases a topic
  • Use spaced repetition to revisit weak biochemistry, physics and psychology cards
  • Export to Anki on the Plus plan if you already keep a review deck there
Example MCAT biochemistry flashcards
What enzyme is the rate-limiting step of glycolysis?Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1). It is inhibited allosterically by ATP and citrate and activated by AMP and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate.
What does the Michaelis constant (Km) represent?The substrate concentration at which the reaction runs at half its maximum velocity. A lower Km means higher affinity for the substrate.
What is the net ATP yield of glycolysis per glucose?2 ATP net, since 4 are produced and 2 are invested. It also yields 2 NADH.
Which two amino acids are purely ketogenic?Leucine and lysine. Both break down only into acetyl-CoA or acetoacetyl-CoA, so they cannot make net glucose.
What does one turn of the Krebs cycle produce per acetyl-CoA?3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 GTP (or ATP) and 2 CO2.

Starts from your material

Upload the PDFs, slides, DOCX files or photos of pages you already study from, and get cards that match your own review content.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals your memory needs, so you spend less time rereading and more time on the topics you keep missing.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on Plus to keep your deck wherever you prepare.

How it works

Upload your review material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl turns the material into flashcards you can edit, add to, or delete before you start studying.

Review on a spaced schedule

Work through the deck daily and let the schedule bring back the cards you find hardest.

Good MCAT flashcards test one fact or mechanism at a time. Ask for the enzyme, the regulator, the direction of a reaction or the exception to a rule, and avoid cards that need a whole paragraph to answer. Short cards are easier to review every day and easier to check against your notes.

Spaced repetition is what makes the deck useful over several months of prep. Missed cards come back sooner, known cards wait longer, and you can focus each session on the science sections that need the most work.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for one MCAT review topic?

Most students do better with about 15 to 30 cards per topic than with one long deck, since shorter sets are easier to review daily. Split dense passages so each card tests one fact or mechanism.

What is the best way to study MCAT biochemistry with flashcards?

Write cards for pathways, enzymes and their regulators, and try to answer each one before reading the back. Review missed cards more often than the ones you already know.

Can I export my MCAT flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan, which also adds PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month without a credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
