"Ora's flashcards are so good. And the app is clean and intuitive, unlike Anki where you need a 45-minute lecture on how to use it…"

"…Ora is truly the full package. Its spaced repetition question-bank sets it apart from the rest. It ensures that you are truly learning and understanding the content instead of simply memorizing a flashcard or passively reviewing an incorrect practice question. After three weeks of using Ora, I was able to attain passing scores on both NBME and NBOME practice exams prior to even beginning my dedicated study period."

"Just because something has been done in the past doesn't mean it's the best for the future. I believe this is true with Uworld, Anki, Amboss, etc... They don't challenge you like Ora does. All are great resources, but I have felt the most prepared utilizing Ora to consistently pass my shelf exams in the upper percentiles."
