Add spaced repetition
to your revision
Passmedicine is great for questions. NotchWise makes sure you actually retain the answers.
No Anki experience needed.
You're getting through Passmedicine.
But are you retaining it?
You sit a Passmedicine session. You score 60%. You read the explanations. You move on. A week later, you see the same topic and you've forgotten half of it.
This is normal. Without active review, we forget roughly 80% of new information within a week. It's called the forgetting curve, and it's the reason Passmedicine scores plateau.
The fix is spaced repetition: reviewing material at increasing intervals (day 1, day 3, day 7, day 14, day 30). It's the most evidence-based learning technique in cognitive science. It's why Anki is so popular with US medical students.
The problem with Anki is the learning curve. Card types, templates, add-ons, scheduling settings. It's powerful, but it's a project in itself. NotchWise gives you spaced repetition without it.
Three steps. No Anki required.
From Passmedicine to long-term retention in under a minute.
Create a deck
Name it Cardiology, Pharmacology, or whatever your weak areas are. One deck per topic keeps things organised.
Add your weak areas
After a Passmedicine session, drag concepts you got wrong onto the notch or type your own cards. Front: question. Back: answer. Done.
Review passively
Cards appear in the notch while you study. Hover, flip, rate your recall. Five seconds per card. The algorithm handles the rest.
Built for how UK medical students actually revise
Spaced repetition that fits around your existing workflow.
Complements Passmedicine
Use Passmedicine for questions and explanations. Use NotchWise to retain the key facts you keep getting wrong. They work better together.
No Anki Learning Curve
No card types, no templates, no add-ons to install. Type a question, type an answer, done. Spaced repetition shouldn't require a tutorial.
NICE Guidelines at Your Fingertips
Create cards for first-line treatments, referral criteria, and red flags. Review them passively while you work through other topics.
DVLA, Fitness to Fly & Capacity
The niche topics that always come up in finals. Create a deck, add the rules, and NotchWise drills them until they stick.
Works During Dead Time
Cards appear in the notch while you browse, read notes, or wait for a lecture to load. Five seconds of review, zero context switching.

What is spaced repetition?
The most evidence-based study technique in cognitive science, visualised.
Without spaced repetition, you forget ~80% of what you learn within a week.
With it, retention stays above 90%. The difference compounds over months of revision.
