Yes. Creating, importing, and studying your own flashcards is free with no limits, and so are practice quizzes written from your own decks (three a day). The free plan also turns your first two documents into flashcards or quizzes, at the same quality as the paid plans. Plus ($6.99 a month or $49 a year) and Pro ($12.99 a month or $89 a year) add 15 or 40 generations every month.

Yes. Pick “Quiz” instead of “Flashcards” to get a multiple-choice quiz from a subject, your notes, or a file, or press “Quiz me” on any deck. You get a score, the correct answers with explanations, and can redo it with reshuffled questions. Quizzes can be shared like decks.

Can it write a study guide?

Yes. Pick “Study guide” and name the unit, paste your notes or upload a file. You get the unit on one page: a mindmap, the ideas in order, a worked exam-style question and the mistake students make most. Print it, or turn it straight into flashcards or a quiz. Study guides are on the Plus and Pro plans; free unit guides for AP Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, MCAT, SAT and ACT are at quizcard.org/unit-guides.

What files can I turn into flashcards?

PDF, Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), plain text, and Markdown, up to 25 MB, or paste text directly. Charts and diagrams are kept on the cards when the source is a PDF.

How is Quizcard different from Quizlet or Anki?

Quizcard writes the cards for you from your own material and keeps the source document attached, with a reader, highlights, and a tutor that answers from those pages. Decks export to CSV and JSON, so you can still review in Anki if you prefer its scheduler.

Yes. Any deck can be published as a public page that others can study online or copy into their own account. Public decks are listed at quizcard.org/explore.

Does it work offline and on my phone?

Yes. The Android app is on Google Play, the iPhone app is coming soon, and on any phone Quizcard also installs straight from the browser. Decks you have opened stay available offline and changes sync when you are back online.

Your decks and files are private unless you choose to share a deck. You can export or delete everything at any time, and you can bring your own Anthropic API key if you prefer.

Exam prep · MCAT

MCAT flashcards for all four sections

The MCAT tests reasoning on top of a very large base of facts. The base is where flashcards earn their keep: amino acids, enzyme kinetics, hormone pathways, psych terms. Start with the decks below, then card your own content review books so nothing slips.

MCAT at a glance

Format: Four sections: Chemical and Physical Foundations (59 questions, 95 min), CARS (53 questions, 90 min), Biological and Biochemical Foundations (59, 95 min), Psychological, Social and Biological Foundations (59, 95 min).
Length: 230 questions; about 7.5 hours at the center including breaks.
Scoring: 118 to 132 per section, 472 to 528 total. The median is around 500; competitive MD applicants are typically 510 and above.
Dates: Offered January and March through September. Scores arrive about a month after the test. Register through AAMC.

What the MCAT tests

Biology and biochemistry. Cells, genetics, metabolism, enzymes, amino acids, the major organ systems. The largest share of science content. Study guide →
General chemistry. Stoichiometry, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, electrochemistry. Study guide →
Organic chemistry. Functional groups, reactions, stereochemistry, separations and spectroscopy. Study guide →
Physics. Mechanics, fluids, circuits, waves and optics, with equations you must recall without a sheet. Study guide →
Psychology and sociology. Perception, learning, memory, personality, social structures and demographics. Heavily term-based. Study guide →
CARS. Critical analysis and reasoning on humanities and social-science passages. No outside knowledge needed; practice, not cards. Study guide →

MCAT unit study guides

Each guide is the unit on one page: a mindmap, the ideas in order, a worked exam-style question, the mistake students make most, then the flashcards and quiz for it.

Sample cards from “Biology: Cell Structure and Function”

What is osmosis?

Answer: The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.

Explanation

Water moves toward the side with more solute (less free water).

How does meiosis differ from mitosis?

Answer: Meiosis has two divisions and produces four genetically different haploid cells (gametes); mitosis produces two identical diploid cells.

Explanation

Crossing over in prophase I creates genetic variation.

What is the end result of mitosis?

Answer: Two genetically identical diploid daughter cells.

Explanation

Used for growth and repair.

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Answer: Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (PMAT).

Explanation

Followed by cytokinesis, which divides the cytoplasm.

What are the phases of the cell cycle?

Answer: Interphase (G1, S, G2), then M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis).

Explanation

DNA is replicated during S phase.

What is fermentation?

Answer: An anaerobic process that regenerates NAD+ so glycolysis can continue, producing lactic acid or ethanol and CO2.

Explanation

Yields only the 2 ATP from glycolysis.

A flashcard study plan for the MCAT

Month 1: content review by section. Each study day, read a chapter, then upload it and generate a deck. Study the generated deck the next morning before new material.
Month 2: full-length practice every other week. Card every missed science question. Daily CARS passages; no cards, just timing.
Month 3: taper new content. Study only the missed deck plus high-yield decks (amino acids, hormones, physics equations, psych terms).
Last week: two light review days, one rest day, no full-lengths in the final 72 hours.

How to write MCAT cards that work

Amino acids deserve their own deck: structure, one-letter code, charge at physiological pH, polar or nonpolar.
Physics equation cards should include the units and the situation they apply to, not just the symbols.
Psych and soc terms are pure recall and pure points. Card every bolded term in your review book.
Keep figures on the cards. Pathway diagrams and graphs cropped from your PDF beat retyped text for biochemistry.

Questions

Are these decks a replacement for a full MCAT deck?

No. They cover the foundations. The highest-yield cards are the ones you make from your own content review and practice-test misses.

Can I use Quizcard with Anki?

Yes. Generate decks here from your PDFs and export to CSV; Anki imports it. Many people do both.

How many documents can I generate?

Two free, fifteen a month on Plus ($6.99) and forty a month on Pro ($12.99), which also reads longer documents (up to 150 pages).
