I’m finally done with my exam prep, so I no longer need my Uglobe acc

My pace for Kaplan is one chapter a day and I’ve been trying to use the jack sparrow deck. I set my new cards to 30 and max reviews to 9999. The problem is that I am moving way faster in the Kaplan chapters and creating a massive backlog of cards from the older chapters. How in the hell do I sync the deck to the book??? Should I just read the whole review book and go back to anki. I feel like I’m spending more time trying to figure out how to study than actually studying. Please help!

Please help since I am quite frustrated where I am at in the process of studying for the MCAT and need insight from anyone who has found themselves in my shoes.

I honestly feel stuck. I have been scoring within the 490s the last two months and thought would be breaking into the 500's by now yet dropped back to 489 on AAMC FL3 so had to push out my June 12 test date which honestly I am quite upset about. I had been taking a FL every Friday. With FLE 1-3 through Altius. Here are my scores:

FLE 1 121 121 122 125 489

FLE 2 124 124 125 126 499

FLE 3 123 124 123 125 495

AAMC 1 127 121 124 126 498

AAMC 2 122 123 123 122 490

AAMC 3 123 122 122 122 489

I notice I struggle with timing across all sections. I feel frustrated with my PSS since I seem to go down 2-3 points each time from Altius to AAMC. While my CARS has been around 122-124. I'd love to score 126+. CP and BIO are just honestly frustrating since my background was not in the sciences so it has been quite the learning curve. I'd love to test in late July or August with a test date in Early September.

Some background first time I took the MCAT in August of 2025 I got a 486 yet I was having panic attacks while taking it and wanted to void it but had already applied to schools.

Next I would love to apply this cycle to both MD/DO's but it is looking like that might not happen.

My stats are cumulative GPA of 3.74 and ssGPA around 3.4. I am also a nontraditional with thousands of clinical hours.

Anyway any advice would be helpful for reaching my goal of 505+ by sometime this summer.

hi everyone! so i’m using anking to study for psych and it has tags like 6a 6b etc which i believe is the pankow deck(?)

i’ve heard there’s khan academy and a 300 pg doc which is basically a transcript for the videos, and either one is a bit confusing for what the alignment is with the 6a 6b labels. there’s also content on the decks like about the ns that the videos don’t seem to go over (the videos in foundation 6, 7 etc) specially with the brain structures?

to summarize am i supposed to use pankow as is and use khan academy/300pg doc as a supplement for topics im not sure about? bc i don’t know a lot of the topics in psych so i keep going over the same cards a few times to get it

tldr - pankow in anking doesn’t fully match khan academy, not sure if i use pankow only and just keep going over cards i dont know or have never seen or smth else

sorry if this is worded bad, i’m trying to figure out how to best word my confusion but idk if it came through properly 😭😭

The deck is formed into 6A, 6B... sections and I don't know which correspond to the document? Does someone have a breakdown on which cards to do for which section? Any clarity would be appreciated! Thank you very much.

Hello every one

I had an idea about snki and it seems that work, i have an enterance exam next year and i want to use anki for that.

In math, i found that when i put my past papaers/ test /question and answers in front and back of card, so its like my cards fron is the question of math/bio/chem/physic from book, and the back is the silce and answer.

For examole in math when i see the front of card i start to solve the problem On paper and i have 2miniutes time limit until i solve it or anki show the answer. I did this because for that enterance exam i should answer one question in 90sec so its important that i csn recall the way of answer and recoginize pattern fast.

By the way my question is:

If i enable fsrs, it will show me a question a lot at first, but i want less reveiws

And my cards will take me frim 30s to 120s

And i read here that fsrs is suitable with cards that take 2s to 10s

So whats you idea about it, thank you

Hi everyone, using the Pankow deck organized by KA. This means it hasn’t been updated for errors by ankihub. Does anyone know if there’s a post or something where people have been documenting the errors so I can go through and fix mine if needed or cross reference when I’m confused?

I've been using Anking for my chapters recently. For chapters I'm studying later can I use captain hook decks for those? And continue my anking progression of the chapters I've already done? So basically use a mix of both decks? or is that dumb af.

ex: bio 1-4 would be anking and 4-12 Captain Hook

also, is it smart to stick with anking for c/p? (i dd just as bad in both c/p and b/b on my practice test). i feel like CH is already dense enough and doing c/p could keep it manageable.

Hello so I was on the trad route and did all my prereqs but life happened worked in clinical research for a couple years. Im starting to study and have been using the anking deck and I like it so far. It’s been 4 years since I graduated should I swap to Captainhook for b/b or will anking be fine? I want to study for 3 months btw if that’ll influence which deck to pick. I’m aiming for 510-515 my diagnostic was a 496 122/128/122/124.

Should I lower my daily reviews until I get through my mcat anki decks? I am in my content phase rn so I am adding alot of daily “new” cards. I find it hard to do new cards while also keeping up with all my reviews. I was thinking to lower my review limit until I finish a bulk of my content review. Is this a good strategy?

Hey everyone, I’m new to Anki and I’m pretty confused about the settings lmao.

I downloaded the MileDown deck organized by Kaplan chapters. I suspended everything, then unsuspended only the cards for Kaplan Biology Chapter 4 (nervous system), which has 56 cards total. But when I study, Anki is only showing me 20 cards lol.

How do I make Anki show all 56 cards? Which setting controls that — “new cards/day” or something else?

And what should I set my daily limits to? I’ve seen people recommend:

- 100 new cards/day

- 9999 limits

- different review limits

What do those actually mean? Is “100” referring to 100 new cards only, or 100 total cards including reviews?

Basically, what settings would you recommend for someone starting MCAT Anki with the MileDown deck?

Anki feels way more complicated than I expected 😭 so any help would be much appreciated!

edit: and lets say I do the endocrine system tmr and want to go over the associated anki. Would I get a mix of anki cards of endo+neuro tmr?

hey guys,

currently doing kaplan with 1-3 chapters a day for MCAT, supplemented by Anking deck. going the route of unsuspending the cards as i finish a chapter.

only problem is i have a big backlog of new cards (e.g. i have 300 new cards but have already done my 50 new cards for today + review)

is this normal? or should i increase my daily new card limit

thanks!

I take the mcat in a few months maybe even more than six I need advice on how to go from a 488-> 528 obviously it takes time but I have time. I tried books but they don’t work what would you recommend I do I have gotten 487 488 489 on mcat test looking for help to improve inmensley

Applying this cycle and trying to gauge how realistic my chances are for med schools.

Stats are:
- 501 MCAT
- 3.68 GPA with a strong upward trend

Earlier in college I went through a traumatic experience that affected my academics for a period of time, but my grades improved a lot afterward and I addressed it in my application.

Other parts of my app:
- ~1,800 clinical hours (ED tech + EMT)
- ~3,000 service hours
- ~150 shadowing hours
- Biomedical science and psychology double major, minor in chemistry
- Chemistry TA and peer tutor for 7 classes
- 4 Research + conference presentations (Public health and neuroscience; will be submitting original public health research for publication later this year)
- Several leadership-heavy extracurriculars
- I run a student advocacy/crisis support organization
- Medical internship abroad in Portugal
- A lot of my volunteering centers around advocacy and rural food access initiatives
- strong personal statement and LORs (even LORs from professors that I didn’t do as well in their classes)

I’m from a rural area and am especially interested in community/rural medicine.

I know my MCAT is on the lower side for MD, but I’m hoping the rest of my application helps balance things out. Curious what people think realistically, especially anyone who applied with similar stats.

Hi everyone, so I have downloaded the JS cards and did the setting for them but im confused as to how Anki works. Like my new cards are at 80 cards per day and organized according to Kaplan chapters. I am doing content review right now. If I do a chapter I unsuspend the cards and go through them, but them tomorrow do I go through the same cards? Do I go through the cards for all the chapters? How does this work and what do I click on? im very confused please help.

I can’t download the Pankow deck for some reason nothing works

Can someone pls send me a copy and paste import so I can paste it into Anki and it can make me flashcards

Hi I'm learning PS from the 86 page document and using the Pankow deck. I'm having trouble initially doing cards but eventually get fairly quick at them. However because they are cloze style cards I'm worried that I'm memorizing the card itself not the concept, does anyone have any advice?

Using an older version of the AnKing deck rn, but wondering if its worth adding in the Mr. Pankow deck? I don't really believe I should be focusing too much of my time on Anki, but also psych/soc is defo my worst section. If I do that, the decks have like 7.5k cards combined (5.3k AnKing, 2.2k Pankow), with probably like 300-400 reveiws per day total from the 2 decks? Ik modern AnKing includes pankow cards but I also was worried the deck was too tiny. Should I just stick to the 5.3k AnKing and separtely study psych?

I'm starting to review P/S first using Pankow's desk, and I study once part of Unit 6 from Khan Academy by unsuspending it in Anki and studying that. I finished my first set of new cards (sensory perception), and I am not fully understanding each card, so I pressed hard / again. However, I set up Anki using the new FSRS, meaning even the Hard / Again cards don't show up until tomorrow. In this early phase, what is the best way to review my cards, as I don't have any more reviews for today, yet I don't fully understand the cards I learned today?
