Turn your MCAT review notes into a practice test

Kaplan books and printed sets are useful, but they can't cover what your professor or your own review notes emphasize. Upload your material and get multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions with explanations.

Why a custom test works better for MCAT prep

Students who search for a Kaplan-style MCAT practice test usually want realistic questions that match the exam's format. A ready-made printed set can help, but it is written for everyone and cannot follow the topics in your own course or review plan. DeckOwl does not include Kaplan materials. It builds a practice test from the notes and PDFs you upload, so the questions match the content you need to know.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions from your own notes
  • Explanations written for every answer, including the ones you got right
  • Flashcards with spaced repetition for terms you keep missing
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser
Example MCAT biology and chemistry practice questions
Which step of glycolysis is the main committed, rate-limiting step?Phosphofructokinase-1 converts fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, and it is the main control point for glycolysis.
In Michaelis-Menten kinetics, what does Vmax represent?Vmax is the maximum reaction rate when the enzyme is saturated with substrate, so adding more substrate no longer speeds the reaction.
At constant temperature and amount of gas, how are pressure and volume related?They are inversely proportional, as Boyle's law states, because compressing a gas into a smaller volume raises its pressure.
Which amino acid is achiral?Glycine, because its side chain is a hydrogen atom, so its alpha carbon carries two identical hydrogens.
True or false: the citric acid (Krebs) cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.True, because the enzymes of the cycle are located in the matrix, the innermost compartment of the mitochondrion.
Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Questions come from the content you are actually studying.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes an explanation, so a missed item becomes a short lesson rather than just a wrong mark.

Spaced repetition for weak spots

Flashcards from the same material use spaced repetition, so the concepts you keep missing come back more often.

How it works

Upload your MCAT notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or photo of your study pages.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions and generate your practice test.

Review and retake

Read each explanation, sort your misses by cause, and retake the test on the topics that still need work.

Good practice comes from the review after the test. Sort each miss into one of three groups: a content gap, a misread question, or a careless error. Content gaps go back to your notes, misreads call for slower reading of the stem, and careless errors call for a checklist before you answer. Retake the same topic a few days later to see whether the fix held.

Frequently asked questions

How many practice questions should I do before the MCAT?

There is no fixed number that works for everyone. Most students get more from reviewing each explanation carefully than from answering as many questions as possible.

How should I review my results on an MCAT science practice test?

Group each missed question as a content gap, a misread, or a careless error. Then re-study the content gaps and retake those topics a few days later.

Is a Kaplan practice test the same as a DeckOwl practice test?

No. DeckOwl does not include Kaplan materials. It generates questions from the PDFs, slides, or notes you upload.

Do I have to pay to export my practice tests?

Exports are a paid feature. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export for $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
