How I used Anki to score a 527 on the MCAT

This is how I used Anki to score a 527 (100th percentile) on the MCAT. It's free and you gotta use it.
The MCAT, or Medical College Admissions Test, covers the pre-med fundamentals needed for medical school, including physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, psychology, sociology, and critical reasoning (CARS).

Love the walkthrough! Great work!

[@andersonchitsosa1980]

You’re awesome 💯. Was struggling on how to use anki for the past 2 months. Now I can do it easily. Thanks 👍🏽

[@yaskinsolano5971]

So grateful for your generosity. These videos are so useful and amazing in their format. So appreciate you!!!

[@PaKiKiNg908]

Thank you so much! You are awesome

[@nixylyubov1439]

Hi! Thank you so so much for this guide! I just downloaded anki and also added the deck in your description. Sending lots of love your way! 💫

[@dannyjli]

Thanks & good luck!

[@clairecoretta1990]

how did u download Anki, what app did u use? cuz I see multiple options on the appstore. I downloaded the deck found in the description of the video but my computer keeps saying that there is no app available to read the deck that I downloaded

[@amrmohammed3055]

Hi Danny, thank you so much, I learned a lot! Was wondering if you could do a video on how to succeed on the CARS section as most people struggle with this section. Thank you!

[@Lilia.M.Chapman00]

Thanks. I will be able to use Anki for my MCAT review.

[@cja12345]

you got this, gonna study too

[@habeeb]

Thank you for the video! It was little blurry when you were zooming into Anki.

[@jed-kyleramirez8934]

Amazing video! I'd like to point out instead of typing out the cloze definition, you can actually highlight the word/phrase that you want to use for the cloze function, then click on the button "[...]" to do the brackets for you :)

[@dannyjli]

Did not know this - thanks for the tip!

[@Verasaccounthi]

Thank you

[@abbeymcmurray5354]

Hi! This video is super helpful :) I have the Kaplan MCAT review books that I’m working through at the moment, I’m wondering how to access these AnKing cards that coincide with the chapters?? Any advice? Thanks!

[@dannyjli]

check the description!

[@NhuLeNguyen-uc8bh]

Did you add into the extra spaces for each Anki card in Anking v2 deck? (I saw they have options for lecture notes, etc.)

[@dannyjli]

nope

[@simerjeetkaur8072]

dude awesome video. as for unsuspending cards, do you unsuspend a "chapter" after you've done the kaplan chapter? so by the end of the books you've "unsuspended all the decks?" or, do you suspend them again? also, when you're doing anki after reading a chapter for example, and you "unsuspended a chapter of cards, will all of those cards show up to be learned if I have the same settings of 100 new cards a day? THANKS :))) hope those questions made sense!

[@dannyjli]

exactly, I unsuspend a chapter at a time so by the end they are all unsuspended. You'll have to set your # of new cards a little higher since some of the chapters have over 100 cards.

[@ibedirtydan]

all of the individual chapters aren’t popping up for me in browse. any idea why?

[@DrTorres444]

Dude knew what he was doing in the thumbnail

[@dannyjli]

[@rome2693]

Check Library Genesis for the Kaplan books. All the 2023-2024 ones are there

[@fionayao9891]

I'm only able to download one card out of the 2,800+ anki deck is there a workaround for this? Thank you for the video!

[@dannyjli]

email me at [e-mail] if you are still having this problem

[@simerjeetkaur8072]

this happened to me too! you have to add an 'add-on' lol but im not sure how to explain it. hope this helps a little!

[@aeronix8336]

@@simerjeetkaur8072 can u elaborate

[@mumuessy472]

Thank you for the video. Just downloaded the V2 deck but for some reason there are no tags. So I am basically unable to unsuspend the cards by chapter. Anyone else experiencing that? How could I fix it?

[@DanielJohnston-ud2mt]

Hey, I'm also having problems with the tags. Were you able to figure it out?

[@dextermoves8619]

Hello! Is this the Anking version with Mr Pankow in it as well?

[@dannyjli]

it is not

[@Christina-wz1nd]

If using Kaplan, would you recommend just one chapter/day during the content review phase?

[@dannyjli]

I did content review while doing UWorld and did 2 chapters a day. I would keep your content review phase as short as possible and get to practice problems asap. That probably means more than one chapter a day.

[@Christina-wz1nd]

@@dannyjli Thanks for responding. How many uWorld q's would you do during your content review phase? I'm also trying to incorporate uWorld but I don't want to overwhelm myself with resources

[@dannyjli]

@@Christina-wz1nd definitely be careful about overwhelming urself - I burned out multiple times during the process. At my peak I was doing 120 questions a day, 4 days a week. 1 day for FL practice test, 1 day for review, one for rest. But I slowly loaded it - I started off by doing 2 sets of 20qs a day then 2 sets of 30 qs a day and so on until I was doing 4 sets of 30. Check out this other video I made for more details on my schedule: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioXGpmeNpMiGpJIsi=NYrJBGhaMLzRM2pE

[@arnava.9405]

what's your max interval?

[@alarheam7981]

200 cards in 30 min???!! What how? Please elaborate. Whether new cards or reviews, how is that even possible?

[@dannyjli]

For reviews specifically, and check out the deck in the description - the cards are very simple, you can get through 6-10 in a minute.

[@arjunmehta3786]

You have sooo much rizz when talking about anki and the mcat
