Make medical flashcards from the material you already have

Many medical students search for Kaplan medical flashcards when a course or board exam is coming up, but DeckOwl does not include any Kaplan content. What it does is turn the material you already own into a study deck built around your own course.

  • Flashcards generated from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files and notes
  • Photos of textbook pages and handouts are read with text recognition
  • Spaced repetition schedules harder cards more often
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Example medical flashcards from your own Kaplan-style notes

Works from your files

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. Text in photos is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so review time goes to the facts you are most likely to forget.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Create multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or map a topic as a mind map.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the Kaplan PDF, lecture slides or photos of your notes. No credit card is needed to start.

Generate your deck

DeckOwl writes flashcards from the content, which you can review and edit before studying.

Study in short sessions

Review a few cards each day, rate how well you knew each one, and let spaced repetition schedule the rest.

A good medical deck captures one fact per card: a drug's mechanism, its key adverse effect, the antidote, or the normal range for a lab value. Upload a chapter or a set of slides and DeckOwl will draft those cards so you can check them against your source.

Because the cards come from your files, the deck follows your syllabus rather than a generic list. You can export to Anki on the Plus plan if you prefer to study there.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a medical exam unit?

Aim for one card per distinct fact rather than a fixed number. A typical unit in a medical course often fits in a few hundred cards, and you can trim the deck after generating it.

What is the best way to study medical flashcards?

Review them daily in short sessions and rate each card honestly so spaced repetition can bring hard cards back sooner. Say the answer aloud before flipping the card to build recall.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Plus includes Anki export along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export, which are paid features. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
