Why a custom set beats a generic download

Most ready-made MCAT practice question spreadsheets are written for a general audience, so the topics and difficulty rarely line up with your course or prep book. DeckOwl lets you turn your own notes into an MCAT practice question spreadsheet that reflects what you actually need to master.

Questions drawn only from your uploaded notes, slides or textbook pages
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats with explanations
Study in the browser on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month
CSV export on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month for tracking results in a spreadsheet

Example MCAT biology and chemistry practice questions

Which organelle houses the electron transport chain and ATP synthase in eukaryotic cells?The inner mitochondrial membrane, because the electron transport chain and ATP synthase are embedded in it, while the citric acid cycle runs in the matrix.

For a competitive enzyme inhibitor, how does adding more substrate affect Vmax?Vmax is unchanged, because excess substrate outcompetes the inhibitor and the enzyme can still reach its maximum rate.

If the pressure of a fixed amount of ideal gas doubles at constant temperature, what happens to its volume?The volume halves, because Boyle's law states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature and moles are constant.

Which hormone, secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas, lowers blood glucose?Insulin, because it promotes glucose uptake into cells and storage as glycogen, which reduces blood glucose levels.

What type of bond is broken during the hydrolysis of a peptide?The peptide bond, an amide linkage between amino acids, because hydrolysis adds water across that bond to release the individual amino acids.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Questions come from the slides, chapters and notes you already study, so the set matches what your course actually covered.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer item includes an explanation, so a missed question teaches you the reasoning.

CSV export on Plus

Plus exports your question set to CSV for a spreadsheet, along with PDF, DOCX and Anki formats.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes, or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and generate a set covering the topics you need to review.

Practice or export

Work through the questions in your browser on the free plan, or export to CSV on Plus and track your misses in a spreadsheet.

Generating from your material also keeps the review focused. If your biochemistry unit covered enzyme kinetics and your notes skip a topic, the questions skip it too, and you can regenerate a set after each study block.

Plus exports the set to CSV, so you can sort by topic, log your scores and see which subjects keep tripping you up.

Frequently asked questions

How many MCAT practice questions should I do each day?

There is no single right number, so pick a daily block you can finish while reading each explanation carefully. Consistent sessions with full review usually help more than long sessions where you skip the explanations.

Should I move on quickly after a wrong answer?

Read the explanation for every miss before continuing, then reattempt that question after a few days. Tracking which topics you miss repeatedly shows where to spend the next study block.

Can I export my practice questions to a spreadsheet?

Yes, CSV export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No credit card is needed to start on the free plan. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
