How to get printable MCAT flashcards from your own notes

Most MCAT review starts with a pile of notes, slides and practice explanations that never becomes a deck you can use. Pre-made printable sets cover generic content, so they rarely match the gaps in your prep. Upload your own material and you get printable MCAT flashcards written from the exact pages you are studying.

Works with PDFs, slides, typed notes and photos of pages
Flashcards cover the topics in your own sources, not a generic MCAT list
Spaced repetition in the browser on the free plan
PDF export for printing is included with Plus

Example MCAT biology, chemistry and physics flashcards

What is the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]), which relates pH, pKa and the ratio of conjugate base to weak acid.

What does the Michaelis-Menten equation describe?v = Vmax[S]/(Km + [S]), relating reaction rate to substrate concentration; Km is the substrate concentration at half Vmax.

What does Le Chatelier's principle predict when a system at equilibrium is disturbed?The system shifts to partly counteract the change, such as shifting toward reactants when product is added.

What is the difference between sensory and motor neurons?Sensory (afferent) neurons carry signals toward the CNS, while motor (efferent) neurons carry commands away from it to muscles and glands.

What is the net yield of one turn of the Krebs cycle per acetyl-CoA?3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 GTP (or ATP) and 2 CO2, because the cycle runs once per acetyl-CoA.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages. Cards come from the content you are actually studying, not a generic list.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss return sooner, and cards you know move further out, so review time goes to the facts you still need.

Export when you need paper

Plus users can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV to print or load into another app. The free plan studies in the browser only.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of a page from your MCAT review book or lecture notes.

Generate and check the cards

DeckOwl drafts flashcards from the material. Edit or delete any card that is off before you study.

Study or export

Review in the browser with spaced repetition, or upgrade to Plus and export a PDF to print.

Each card has a question or term on the front and a short answer on the back. For biochemistry, that might be a pathway's net products. For physics, it might be the formula and the condition under which it applies. Review the drafts, remove anything vague, and keep the cards that test the reasoning behind a fact.

Printing is only one option. Spaced repetition schedules reviews so you see weak cards more often, which tends to work better than re-reading a printed sheet. Plus users can export the same set to PDF when they want paper.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for each MCAT science topic?

There is no fixed number. Make one card per distinct fact, formula or concept, and split long topics into several cards so each answer stays short enough to recall.

How often should I review MCAT flashcards?

Review daily in short sessions rather than cramming. Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss sooner, so your time goes to the facts you are most likely to forget.

Can I print DeckOwl flashcards?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, which includes PDF export. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Does the free plan include exports?

No. The free plan allows 3 generations per month and browser study, with no exports. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
