Generate USMLE Step 1 & Step 2 Flashcards from First Aid, Pathoma, and Your Class Notes

Yes, on paid plans. A deck exports as a standard .apkg file containing basic question-and-answer notes that can be imported into Anki on desktop or mobile. Scholarly tags, citations, and review history are not included in the export.

The generator writes question-and-answer cards from the material you upload. It targets concrete facts, mechanisms, side effects, and clinical associations, but you should review and edit the generated deck before relying on it for exam prep.

Yes. You can use lecture slides, scanned notes, and diagrams as source material for standard question-and-answer cards. Scholarly does not currently create masked image-occlusion regions or review image-occlusion cards natively.

Scholarly can import supported basic and cloze notes from an .apkg file, including AnKing decks, and converts them into its question-and-answer card format. Anki tags, media layouts, scheduling, and review history are not preserved.

Yes. The same generator works for MCAT prep — upload Kaplan, TBR, or UWorld passage explanations and it produces personalized cards. Most premed users use Scholarly for MCAT content review and switch to USMLE prep once they start medical school.

Not for reviewing inside Scholarly. Our built-in scheduler is SM-2 style, with a per-card ease factor and interval. If you specifically want FSRS, export the deck to Anki, where FSRS has been the default since 2024 and will schedule these cards like any others.

Yes. The free plan includes limited AI creation so you can try the workflow. Paid plans add higher generation and upload limits and include Anki export.

No, and we won't pretend it is. AnKing is the gold standard for Step prep and most students should still use it as their core deck. Scholarly is the supplement — for your school's specific lectures, your weak chapters, and the topics AnKing's generic coverage doesn't emphasize the way your professor does.
