Anki

Unfortunately, this beast of a test requires a plethora of small, facts that add to become the entire exam. Anki kept me on my toes with its repetition, while allowing me to learn things like chemical nomenclature, for example, that can be easy to forget.

I started using Anki for a cell bio class my sophomore year and increased my studying efficiency dramatically. Therefore, I knew that I would use it for the MCAT. At first, I was unsure if I was going to create my own deck, or use a premade one. I ended up using MileDown's Anki deck, and added to it as I went along. I tried to spread out my studying, and I did somewhere between 200-600 reviews per day. It was a nice way to get in the groove for that day of studying. Ultimately, I think Anki is the best way to quickly go through high yield content review and not lose it within 1-2 months. Also, this is one of the best ways to review the things you missed on practice tests, and uWorld.

thought anki was one of the best tools i used for mcat studying. I used it in two ways. First I made my own anki cards based on content review in C/P and B/B. i had hundreds but the process of both making them and reviewing them kept content fresh. Second, I used pre-made ones for P/S which was hugely helpful.

I thought Anki was a very useful tool for the MCAT. Some people prefer other methods of learning, but I found Anki to be the best tool for active recall of information. I used a pre-made deck and made my own deck out of practice questions I got wrong and found it useful.

Anki is a very useful platform for success on the MCAT. I utilized free decks every single day for the 5 months up to my exam averaging 600-1000 reviews per day. Upon test day, as well as during my full length practice exams, this rote knowledge from constant repetition truly paid off. 10/10 recommend using anki as a study resource!

I was initially resistant to using Anki for the MCAT, partly because it was unfamiliar to me, but I eventually caved because I found that there was really no better way to retain all of the little details you need to know for the test. After doing my UWorld/other questions, I would add the bits of info that I learned to my anki cards, which I think makes doing question review a lot more useful. One of the hardest parts of the MCAT is retaining all of the old info along with the new and Anki is an essential tool for helping you do that.

I used Pankow, Jack Sparrow, and parts of Completed Aiden's deck. I personally found this resource more helpful than trying to read the Kaplan books, but to each their own. I think the use of Anki is really good for spaced repetition, which comes in handy when you need to memorize an ocean's worth of facts for the MCAT

It helps you phrase questions better and in making your own questions, you truly test what you know and do not know. In making your own questions, you get better at learning what the MCAT questions are really asking you to answer. The Milesdown deck is very helpful. It is also effortless because you do not need to think about what you need to review on a day to day basis, the system does that for you.

Helpful for getting all the content down. Hit it consistently and over a long period of time and you'll find the payoffs huge. Obviously not everything in the Anki decks will come up on the exams, but to cover all your bases get Anki and probably the MileDown deck.

Anki literally saved my life for so many courses. It also helped a lot for the MCAT where I used the Milesdown deck and the Jack sparrow deck. It took a while to get used to making flashcards when I first started using it but now that I feel very comfortable with anki, it's super easy and fast to create study material.

I used Miledown deck and was very helpful in learning and retaining content. Definitely recommend the getting the phone app as well.

I used Anki in hopes of retaining information that just had to be memorized in preparation for the exam. I wish I was more on top of using this resource. I will say that if you use Anki and start slacking try one more time(this time making your own decks), if that doesn't work move to something that better aids your learning. Not every resource works for everyone.
