How can we help?

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that schedules reviews at increasing intervals. When you answer a card correctly, you'll see it less frequently. When you struggle with a card, you'll see it more often. MedFlash uses the SM-2 algorithm, the same system used by millions of medical students worldwide. This approach is scientifically proven to move information into long-term memory more efficiently than traditional studying - essential for board exams!

Again: You forgot the answer or got it wrong. The card will be shown again soon.
Hard: You remembered but it was difficult. The interval will increase slightly.
Good: You remembered correctly with normal effort. Standard interval increase.
Easy: You recalled instantly with no hesitation. Larger interval increase.

Be honest with your ratings! Accurate self-assessment is key to effective board prep.

We recommend starting with 20-30 new cards per day for dedicated study periods. During clinical rotations, 10-15 new cards is more realistic. You can adjust this in Settings. Remember: consistency beats intensity. It's better to study 20 minutes daily than to cram for hours once a week. Many students who scored 250+ on Step 1 credit daily spaced repetition.

Yes! Tap the + button in any deck to add your own cards, or create entirely new decks. You can add questions, answers, explanations, hints, and tags. Creating your own cards from First Aid, Pathoma, or lecture material is a great way to reinforce learning - the act of formulating questions helps encode information in your memory.

Standard: Reviews due cards using spaced repetition. Best for daily studying.
Learn New: Focus only on new cards you haven't studied yet.
Cram: Study all cards without affecting your SRS schedule. Great before shelf exams.
Quiz: Multiple choice self-test to simulate board questions.

For optimal learning, use Standard mode daily and Cram mode only when needed for quick reviews before exams.
