How to get MCAT practice questions for Anki from your own notes
Most MCAT prep comes down to answering questions under timed conditions and understanding why each wrong option is wrong. Instead of a generic bank of MCAT practice questions for Anki, DeckOwl builds a set from the notes, slides or PDFs you already have, so the questions cover the material you are actually learning.
- Questions generated from your own MCAT notes, slides or PDFs
- Multiple choice, true/false and short-answer formats with explanations
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with three generations per month
- Export to Anki and other formats on the Plus plan for spaced repetition
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages. Each question is drawn from the content you are actually studying.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so you learn why the right answer is right and why the distractors are wrong.
Export to Anki
On the Plus plan, export your questions to Anki and keep reviewing them with spaced repetition alongside the rest of your deck.
How it works
Upload your MCAT material
Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file or notes. You can also photograph a page and let text recognition read it.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Each question is written from the content you uploaded.
Study or export
Practice in your browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus to review on your schedule.
Each question can be multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and every one includes an explanation. That makes the set useful for checking understanding, not just recognizing a correct letter. Missed questions are the most valuable part, so review the explanation before you move on.
If you want a ready-made question bank, this may not be the right fit. DeckOwl is built for custom questions from your own study material, which keeps the practice tied to the course, the chapter or the topic you are working on.

Frequently asked questions
How many MCAT practice questions should I do in a session?
There is no single right number, but many students work in timed blocks and spend as much time reviewing explanations as answering. Consistent sessions with careful review usually beat long sessions of rushed guessing.
How should I review MCAT questions I got wrong?
Note the concept behind each miss, not just the answer, and check whether you misread the question or lacked the underlying fact. Turn the concept into a card or a short-answer question so you see it again on a schedule.
Can I export MCAT questions to Anki?
Yes, but export to Anki is a paid feature included in the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study generated questions in the browser.
Do I need to upload my own notes to get questions?
Questions are generated from material you upload, which can be a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or a photo of a page. Starting from your own notes keeps the questions aligned with what you are studying.
