The Milesdown MCAT deck is one of the most famous and widely used study resources for MCAT prep. Students love it because it’s clean, high-yield, and closely aligned with how the AAMC actually tests concepts.

But here’s the catch:

Flashrecall gives you the same spaced-repetition power but with instant flashcards, zero setup, and a smoother, faster way to learn MCAT content.

Why the Milesdown Deck Is So Popular

The deck is famous because it focuses on high-value information only. No fluff, no irrelevant details — just what matters for the MCAT.

It covers all the essentials:

  • Biochem pathways
  • Amino acids
  • Physics formulas
  • General chemistry
  • Psych/Soc (massive!)
  • High-yield graphs
  • Rate-limiting enzymes
  • Research & experimental logic
  • Charts and clean definitions

For both beginners and advanced students, it’s the most balanced MCAT deck out there.

The Problem: Using Milesdown in Anki Can Get Overwhelming

Even though the deck is excellent, Anki itself can become a burden:

  • 200–400 reviews per day
  • confusing settings
  • slow card creation
  • clunky mobile experience
  • constant “I’m behind again” anxiety
  • syncing issues
  • burnout

The content is great — the system can feel outdated.
