Why build your own printable MCAT practice test

Printed MCAT practice tests from a publisher follow the order that book chose, not the order your course covered the material. A printable MCAT practice test made from your own notes and readings checks what you have actually reviewed, which is more useful when you are deciding what to study next.

  • Generate tests from PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages.
  • Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan when you want a printed set.
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with no export.
Example MCAT biology and chemistry practice questions
Which enzyme unwinds DNA ahead of the replication fork?Helicase, because it breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs to separate the two strands.
Which hormone raises blood glucose by stimulating glycogen breakdown in the liver?Glucagon, which is secreted by pancreatic alpha cells when blood glucose falls.
True or false: at constant volume, raising the temperature of an ideal gas increases its pressure.True, because in PV = nRT, pressure rises with temperature when volume and amount of gas are fixed.
Where in a eukaryotic cell does the citric acid cycle take place?The mitochondrial matrix, because the enzymes for the cycle are located there.
Which amino acid has a side chain with a pKa near 6, allowing it to buffer near physiological pH?Histidine, because its imidazole side chain is partly protonated around pH 7.4.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages, and get questions based on what you actually studied.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer

Mix question types in one test, and each question comes with an explanation so you can see why the right answer is right.

Export when you need paper

The Plus plan exports to PDF and DOCX, so you can print a test for a study group or a timed session away from the screen.

How it works

Upload your review material

Add the chapters, lecture slides or notes you want to be tested on, and include photos of printed pages if that is what you have.

Generate and choose the question types

DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations, and you can keep the ones that match your weak areas.

Study online or print it

Work through the test in the browser on the free plan, or upgrade to Plus to export a PDF you can print and take as a timed practice set.

Start with the chapters that give you the most trouble, generate a short test, and time yourself. Read every explanation, including the ones for questions you answered correctly, then retest the same topics a few days later to see whether the material has stuck.

Keep the printed copy for timed sessions and use the browser for quick review. Your notes stay the source, so each new test reflects the content you are responsible for.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a practice test have for the MCAT?

Full-length MCAT exams are long, so split practice into shorter timed sets by science section. Generate a set size that fits the time you have for one sitting.

How should I use practice tests when studying for the MCAT?

Take a timed set, then review every explanation, including the questions you got right. Retest the topics you missed a few days later to check that you have retained them.

Can I print my DeckOwl practice test?

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

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students get 40% off with a school email.
