- 3,500+flashcards
- 200+CARS passages
- Freeto start
What Anki does well
Anki is a free, flexible spaced repetition app. You can make your own cards or download shared MCAT decks, and it's excellent for memorizing a lot of facts over a long time.
What five28 adds
- 3,500+ flashcards already written and organized by skill, so there's no deck to build or clean up
- 11,000+ practice questions with explanations, so you apply what you memorize
- XP, streaks and leagues that make it easier to study every day
- Daily CARS passages and full-length practice exams
Using both
Many premeds keep their Anki reviews and use five28 for practice questions, topic decks and the days they don't have the energy for a long session. The two fit together well.
