I scored a 528.
This is the plan — and the notes — that did it.
Same plan got me into
Two resources in one place: the schedule I built backward from my exam date — every Kaplan chapter, UWorld block, AAMC pool, and 6 full-lengths threaded properly — and the notes format I used to digest each lecture into synthesis blocks, active-recall prompts, and clinical cases. Both customized to your timeline, your inputs, your courses.
Your custom MCAT calendar
Not a generic study plan PDF. An actual hour-by-hour calendar built from your exam date, hours per day, and weak subjects — drops straight into Google, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.
Your first week of MCAT prep
Built from one student's inputs: 9am-5pm with lunch, light Saturdays. Your version is generated from yours.

How it works
Set your inputs
Exam date, hours per day, weak subjects, any vacation/break days. Per-weekday windows if your schedule varies.
Preview the plan
See each day broken into hour-by-hour blocks. Heaviest content days flagged. Budget panel shows whether your timeline fits.
Import the .ics
One file. Drops cleanly into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. Each event has step-by-step instructions in the description.
MCAT-grade notes from your own lectures
Upload your class slides and a transcript. Get back a structured study document — the same format I used for biochem and physio. Saved to your library, viewable anytime.
Glycolysis — Biochem Ch.9
What you get when you upload a 90-minute biochem lecture (slides + transcript).
Glycolysis
Cells need ATP, but they can't store glucose forever — every cell on Earth solves this with the same 10-step pathway. Glycolysis converts one glucose (6C) into two pyruvate molecules (3C each) in the cytosol, netting 2 ATP and 2 NADH. It runs without oxygen, which is why your red blood cells (no mitochondria) and a sprinting muscle (low O₂) both depend on it.
The three irreversible steps
Most of glycolysis runs near equilibrium. Three steps don't — and those are the regulatory checkpoints worth memorizing.
- Hexokinase — glucose → G6P. Costs 1 ATP. Inhibited by its own product G6P.
- PFK-1 — F6P → F1,6BP. Costs 1 ATP. Rate-limiting step. Inhibited by ATP/citrate, activated by AMP/F2,6BP.
- Pyruvate kinase — PEP → pyruvate. Generates 1 ATP (substrate-level phosphorylation).
Glycolysis spends 2 ATP up front to phosphorylate glucose, then earns 4 ATP back in the payoff phase — netting 2 ATP per glucose. The three irreversible steps are the only regulatory points; if exam asks about glycolytic control, the answer always involves PFK-1, hexokinase, or pyruvate kinase.
- Why is hexokinase product-inhibited by G6P but glucokinase (liver) is not?
- Given a cell with no mitochondria, which glycolytic step provides the only meaningful ATP yield?
A 4-year-old presents with chronic hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly. Peripheral smear shows echinocytes; reticulocyte count is elevated. The child's parents are first cousins.
- Mature RBCs depend entirely on glycolysis for ATP — no PK, no ATP, no membrane stability.
- Autosomal recessive; consanguinity raises risk.
- Episodic hemolysis triggered by oxidants (sulfa drugs, fava beans), not chronic.
- Heinz bodies + bite cells on smear, X-linked inheritance.
How it works
Upload your lecture
Drop in your slide deck (PDF) and a transcript. Either alone works — both together gives the richest output.
Pick the course
Tag the note with the course it belongs to. Library auto-groups by course so everything stays organized across your semester.
Read your notes
Synthesis blocks, active-recall prompts, clinical cases for every named entity, differential drill tables when relevant. Saved to your library forever.
I scored a 528.
And got into:
These are the resources that produced that score, and that I built because nothing pre-made fit how I actually wanted to study. The schedule generator turns whatever timeline you have into a calendar you can follow without thinking. The lecture-notes generator turns whatever your professor said today into a document you'll actually want to read tomorrow.
Sharing them while they're still useful to me — figured if they worked for me, they'll work for you.
