Why your own material makes better MCAT cards

Students often search for sketchy-style MCAT flashcards because visual, memorable cards help with dense science content. DeckOwl does not sell a prebuilt deck of any publisher's cards. Instead, it generates a custom set from the lecture slides, textbook chapters and notes you already have.

Flashcards generated from your PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
Spaced repetition that schedules reviews around what you forget
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations
Free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card needed to start

Example MCAT flashcards (chemistry, physiology, biochemistry)

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

Which hormone raises blood glucose by stimulating glycogenolysis?Glucagon, released by pancreatic alpha cells when blood glucose falls, signals the liver to break down glycogen into glucose.

What does the Michaelis constant Km represent?The substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of Vmax. A lower Km means the enzyme has a higher affinity for its substrate.

What is the net yield of one turn of the citric acid cycle per acetyl-CoA?3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 GTP (equivalent to ATP) and 2 CO2, since the cycle oxidizes the two carbons of acetyl-CoA.

What does Boyle's law state?At constant temperature and a fixed amount of gas, pressure and volume are inversely proportional, so doubling the pressure halves the volume.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page, and the flashcards come from your own MCAT lectures and textbook pages.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to the material you are still forgetting.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch to multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, or map a topic as a mind map when a card set is not enough.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards against your source and edit anything that is unclear before you start studying.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck with spaced repetition so each card returns right before you would forget it.

Cards written from your own sources tend to match what your course and practice materials emphasize. You can start with the free plan to study in the browser, then upgrade if you want to export your cards to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for MCAT biochemistry?

Start with one card per distinct fact, such as one enzyme, one pathway step or one equation, and keep each card to a single idea. Most students find that a focused deck of a few hundred cards is easier to keep up with than a very large one.

What is the best way to study MCAT flashcards?

Review a short session every day rather than long sessions once a week, and say the answer out loud before you flip the card. Mark cards you missed so they come back sooner, which is what spaced repetition is designed to do.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with unlimited generations.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
