Why build your own physical sciences cards

Physical sciences questions on the MCAT draw on general chemistry, physics and biochemistry, and many students want MCAT physical sciences flashcards that match the exact notes they were taught from. Pre-made decks exist, but they rarely line up with your course order or the examples your professor used.

Cards pulled directly from your lecture notes and slides
Spaced repetition to focus review on the cards you miss
Photos of textbook pages read with text recognition
Quizzes with explanations when you want to test yourself instead

Example MCAT physical sciences flashcards

What does the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation calculate?pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]), which estimates buffer pH from the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid.

What does Snell's law state?n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2, relating refractive indices and angles of incidence and refraction at a boundary.

What is the Beer-Lambert law?A = εbc, meaning absorbance is proportional to molar absorptivity, path length and concentration.

What is the de Broglie wavelength formula?λ = h/p, linking a particle's wavelength to its momentum, which explains electron diffraction.

How does pH relate to hydrogen ion concentration?pH = -log[H+], so each one-unit drop in pH means ten times more hydrogen ions in solution.

Generate the full set

Built from your sources

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the cards come from the material you are actually studying.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so physics formulas and chemistry definitions stick before test day.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch to practice questions with explanations or a mind map when you want to see how the physical sciences topics connect.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a textbook page.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards, edit anything unclear and keep the ones that match your course.

Study on a spaced schedule

Work through the deck in the browser and let spaced repetition set when each card returns.

DeckOwl reads your own files and turns them into a deck you can review in the browser. Free accounts include 3 generations per month, and paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, so you can take the same cards into other tools.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for MCAT physics?

Aim for one concept per card rather than a fixed total, and cover every unit you will be tested on. Short cards with a single formula or definition are easier to review repeatedly.

Which physical sciences topics should I focus on first?

Start with the topics your practice exams miss most, such as acid-base equilibria, kinematics or spectroscopy. Make cards from your weakest notes first so review time goes where it helps most.

Is there a free plan?

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

Can I export my cards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and students get 40% off with a school email.
