Two ways to study
- Review — your due cards plus a few new ones. Progress is saved and scheduled. This is the daily driver.
- Browse all — free study over any cards you choose. Good for cramming; it doesn’t change your schedule.
Grading a card (after you reveal it)
- Again — you forgot it. Resets the card and re-shows it later this same session.
- Hard — right, but a struggle. Comes back sooner than usual.
- Good — solid recall. The normal, expanding interval — your default choice.
- Easy — too easy. Pushed far into the future so it stops crowding your day.
Each button shows its next interval (e.g. 1d, 4d, 10d), so you can see exactly when the card returns.
Pace
- ~20 new cards/day by default, so you’re never buried. Reviews of started cards are unlimited.
- The number beside “Flashcards” in the sidebar is how many cards are due right now.
My Library
Every lecture you’ve uploaded, turned into study kits and shelved by PANCE body system. The home of the drop zone — add more anytime; “Move to system” re-files anything.
Notes & Sketches
A real ink tool — pens, highlighter, shape-snap, and a blueprint sketch index. Annotate a slide or sketch free-hand; sign in to save across devices.
Ask about this lecture (AI tutor)
On any deck, ask a question and get a streamed answer grounded in that lecture’s own material — not the open internet.
Quiz me on this lecture
Turns a deck’s own questions into a quiz graded to the boards — it flags where the lecture diverges from board-style answers.
Prep Rounds
PANCE-style multiple-choice questions by body system. Learn mode reveals the answer to study; Test mode grades you with a running score.
Progress
See what you’ve studied and what’s coming due, with coverage across the PANCE blueprint.
Body Systems

Search
One box across diseases, drugs, and anatomy. Matches word variants, so a single term finds related cards.
