Turn your midterm lecture notes into medical terminology flashcards
Upload your slides, PDF, notes or photos of pages. DeckOwl pulls out the roots, prefixes, suffixes and terms from your course and turns them into flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.
How to study for a medical terminology midterm with flashcards
Your medical terminology midterm flashcards work best when each card isolates one root, prefix or suffix, because most terms can be decoded from their parts. DeckOwl reads your slides, PDF or photographed notes and turns them into cards you can review with spaced repetition.
- Learn the common word roots first, since they show up in many midterm terms.
- Make separate cards for prefixes and suffixes so you can combine them quickly.
- Quiz yourself on the meaning of the whole term before checking the definition.
- Review the cards you got wrong the next day instead of rereading the whole deck.
Built from your course material
Cards come from the slides, PDF or notes your instructor actually used, not a generic term list.
Spaced repetition
Terms you miss come back more often, so the hardest word parts get the most practice before the exam.
Photos of pages work too
Snap a page of handwritten or printed notes and text recognition reads it into the card set.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of your lecture notes.
Check the cards
Remove anything that does not match what was taught, and edit any definition you want worded differently.
Review on a schedule
Study in the browser each day so the midterm terms stick over several sessions.
Start with the lecture slides or the chapter outline your instructor posted. Upload them, compare the generated cards against the material, and delete anything that does not match what was taught in class. Then review in short sessions across several days, since spaced repetition schedules the weakest terms more often.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a medical terminology midterm?
Cover every root, prefix and suffix your instructor listed for the exam, along with the whole terms built from them. Reviewing a smaller set each day works better than one long session the night before.
Should I memorize word parts or whole terms first?
Learn the common word parts first, since they let you decode unfamiliar terms on a midterm. Then drill whole terms so you can match them to definitions quickly.
Can I export my flashcards to Anki?
Yes, Anki export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser but does not include exports.
