Your time matters.
Every card should earn its place. If something is unclear, repetitive or needlessly long, it needs improving.
So we built the UKMLA deck we wanted to revise from.
Spranki began during medical school with a simple aim: spend less time rebuilding revision resources and more time actually learning. That is still the aim.
I started using Anki in first year, and while it helped me do very well, many of the cards I used were low-yield, time-consuming, and not always aligned with how UK medical students are assessed.
I wanted something more efficient, so I started building my own UK-focused deck using cloze-deletion, active recall, and spaced repetition. The aim was simple: create concise, clinically relevant cards mapped to the UKMLA and UK guidelines.
Spranki is the result of hundreds of hours of work, built to save medical students time without compromising on quality. Today, Spranki offers a free starter deck, with Premium access for students who want the complete, regularly updated UKMLA-mapped deck.
“If we were rebuilding the same cards, thousands of other students probably were too.”
Every card should earn its place. If something is unclear, repetitive or needlessly long, it needs improving.
Spranki is not here to show how much information can fit on a card. It is here to help you remember what matters.
Guidelines change, exams evolve and students spot things we miss. Feedback is part of the product, not an afterthought.
Not adapted from a US resource or bolted onto another exam. Every card is written around the UKMLA content map and UK guidelines, from the start.
Every message we've had has shaped the deck somehow. Here are a few of the people and our community behind that.
For backing the project early and helping us make the resource better.
For helping fund the hours it took to get the deck built.
For her hard work running the social media and marketing side.
Thank you for catching our mistakes and never holding back the honest feedback.
