If you’re preparing for the MCAT, you already know how much content there is to memorise — biology, chemistry, biochem, physics, psych/soc, and more. Most students turn to Anki because spaced repetition works incredibly well for long-term memory.

But traditional Anki can feel slow, manual, and confusing for beginners.

That’s why more MCAT learners now use Flashrecall — it gives you the same powerful Anki-style flashcard system but with huge upgrades like instant flashcard creation from images, PDFs, notes, and even YouTube videos.

Flashrecall makes MCAT memorisation faster, easier, and way more efficient.

What Is “Anki for MCAT”?

“Anki for MCAT” simply means using digital flashcards with spaced repetition to study the massive amount of MCAT material. The method is based on two proven techniques:

1. Active Recall

You try to answer the question before flipping the card.

This strengthens memory better than rereading notes.

2. Spaced Repetition

You review each card right before you forget it.

This stretches your memory and helps you retain information for months.

Together, these techniques make Anki one of the best MCAT study tools — and Flashrecall makes it even easier.

Examples of MCAT-Style Flashcards

Biology

Front: “Function of mitochondria”

Back: “Produces ATP through cellular respiration”

Biochemistry

Front: “Michaelis-Menten equation”

Back: “v = (Vmax[S]) / (Km + [S])”

Organic Chemistry

Front: “SN1 vs SN2 differences”

Back: “SN1 = carbocation; SN2 = backside attack”

Physics

Front: “Newton’s 2nd Law”

Back: “F = ma”

Psych/Soc

Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :

These are the exact types of bite-sized facts MCAT students need to drill repeatedly.
