Build MCAT units flashcards from the material you already study

Most ready-made MCAT units flashcards cover the same basics, but your prep course and textbook use their own notation, examples and emphasis. A deck built from your own notes tests the units you are actually expected to know.

  • Dimensional analysis cards that walk through unit cancellation step by step
  • SI base units and derived units such as newtons, joules and pascals
  • Metric prefixes from nano- to kilo- with their power-of-ten values
  • Unit conversions for pressure, volume and energy used in passage questions
Example MCAT units flashcards on SI base units and prefixes
What is the SI base unit of amount of substance?The mole (mol). One mole contains about 6.022 × 10^23 entities.
What does the prefix kilo- mean?1,000 times the base unit, written as 10^3.
What is one pascal in base SI units?1 kg/(m·s²), equal to one newton per square meter.
What is one joule in base SI units?1 kg·m²/s², equal to one newton-meter.
How many nanometers are in one meter?10^9 nm, because nano- means 10^-9.

Cards from your own material

Flashcards come from the review notes and slides your course actually uses, so the unit notation matches what you will see on test day.

Conversions and dimensional analysis

Cards cover unit cancellation, metric prefixes and common conversions for pressure, volume and energy, with the working shown in the answer.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you find difficult come back sooner, so conversions and prefixes stay in memory instead of being relearned before each practice test.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, text notes or a photo of a page from your prep book.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards for SI units, prefixes and conversions, and edit anything that does not match your course.

Study on a spaced schedule

Review in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki and CSV with Plus.

Upload a PDF of your review notes, a slide deck or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl generates flashcards from that text. Units such as joules, pascals and molarity appear in different forms across sources, so cards built from your material match how your course presents them.

Spaced repetition then schedules reviews so that prefixes and conversions stay in memory. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, while exporting to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV is part of Plus.

Frequently asked questions

How many MCAT units flashcards should I make?

Focus on the units you miss in practice questions rather than every unit in the syllabus. A focused deck of a few dozen cards covering SI base units, prefixes and common conversions is a practical starting point for most students.

Which MCAT units should I memorize and which should I derive?

Memorize the seven SI base units and the common metric prefixes, then derive derived units like the joule from force times distance. Practice converting units inside passages, since the exam tests use of units more than bare definitions.

Can I export MCAT units flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but exporting to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV requires the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.

Can I make flashcards from a photo of my notes?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a picture of a printed page and generate flashcards from the text it contains.
