If you’re preparing for the MCAT, you’ve definitely heard people recommend “using Anki.” And they’re right — Anki-style flashcards plus spaced repetition are one of the most effective ways to memorise the massive amount of content the MCAT covers.

But traditional Anki can be slow, manual, and overwhelming for beginners.

That’s why many MCAT students now prefer using Flashrecall, a fast, modern app that gives you the same Anki-style learning system but with huge time-saving features like instant flashcard creation from images, PDFs, notes, and even YouTube videos.

Flashrecall makes MCAT flashcard revision so much faster, especially when you have to memorise thousands of facts.

What Is MCAT Anki?

“MCAT Anki” usually refers to using Anki flashcards to prepare for the MCAT exam.

The method is built around two powerful techniques:

1. Active Recall

Forcing yourself to think of the answer before you flip the card.

This strengthens your memory far more effectively than rereading.

2. Spaced Repetition

Reviewing each card at the perfect interval so you remember it long-term.

Together, these two methods help you master huge subjects like:

  • Biochemistry
  • Biology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Physics
  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Critical thinking concepts

Perfect for MCAT prep.

Examples of MCAT Anki Flashcards

Biology

Front: “Function of the Golgi apparatus”

Back: “Modifies, packages, and transports proteins”

Biochemistry

Front: “What is Km in enzyme kinetics?”

Back: “Substrate concentration at half Vmax”

Organic Chemistry

Front: “SN1 vs SN2 differences”

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

Physics

Front: “Ohm’s Law”

Back: “V = IR”

Psych/Soc

Front: “Operant conditioning”

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

Back: “Learning through rewards and punishments”

These are the exact types of concepts MCAT students drill daily.

How Flashrecall Helps You Ace the MCAT Faster

✔️ Instant flashcard creation from ANY study material

This is the biggest upgrade over traditional Anki.

Flashrecall lets you create MCAT flashcards instantly from:

  • Images (screenshots, textbook pages, diagrams)
  • PDFs (Kaplan, Princeton Review, notes)
  • Typed text
  • Prompts (“Create 50 MCAT biochem flashcards”)
  • Audio (lectures, recordings)
  • YouTube MCAT videos

Instead of typing thousands of cards manually, Flashrecall builds them for you in seconds.

This alone saves MCAT students dozens of hours.

✔️ Automatic spaced repetition tuned for memory

Flashrecall handles all the scheduling:

  • Hard → shown sooner
  • Medium → spaced normally
  • Easy → shown much later

You don’t need to configure anything — it’s fully automatic.

✔️ Active recall built into every review

See the question → think → flip → rate.

This is how you build deep memory for MCAT concepts.

✔️ Faster, cleaner, easier than Anki

No confusing menus.

No add-ons.

No technical setup.

Just open the app and study.

Perfect for MCAT students who want speed and simplicity.

✔️ Study reminders so you never fall behind

Flashrecall alerts you when it’s time to review.

This keeps your spaced repetition schedule consistent — essential for MCAT success.
