Don’t Get Left Behind

Some LoveFirecracker helped me do well on the MCAT, and I'm starting Harvard Medical School in the Fall! ~ Harvard College Student!

Firecracker is an amazing tool. It works in a beautifully intuitive manner to facilitate long-term memory… I am more motivated to study for the MCAT on my own with prep books because it means I will have more topics to flag on the Firecracker platform. I'd love to talk more about the effectiveness of Firecracker, it is helping me so much! ~ Jarrett, Washington University in St. Louis!

Firecracker has improved my grades by providing constant exercises to complement my course materials. ~ Miguel, University of Michigan Medical School!

Firecracker helps me save so much time. Instead of taking all day long to write my own flashcards, I just easily flag a topic from Firecracker and start learning! ~ Glenda Lopez, UAG School of Medicine !

Firecracker is an amazing tool to cement medical information into your brain. ~ Nicole McGill, Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine

More LoveLast year I came across Firecracker, I found [it] so helpful that I never stopped wishing I could go back in time and do that first year of medical school again. ~ Sara Teichholtz, Medscape!

Firecracker is helping me cement material permanently in an easy and fun way. I have recommended it to my niece who is attending medical school next year, as well as many of my classmates and friends at other medical schools. ~ Michigan State University College of Human Medicine Student!

Firecracker is made of awesome… I haven't found a better way to integrate so much information into my long-term memory. My test scores have only improved since I started. ~ Abbi, Florida Atlantic University College of Medicine!

Firecracker puts everything you should know in an easy to access manner and constantly tests your understanding and recall. It’s a great tool for staying on top of classes as well as preparing for Step 1. ~ Omar Jawaid, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science

Get a Room?Firecracker is a reliable and very effective method of reviewing absurd amounts of material. ~ Russ Richardson, Medical University of South Carolina!

I love firecracker! I honestly can't even put it into words how grateful I am that someone told me about it. My class grades have been improving since I've started using it, and it is so quick to just do the questions on a daily basis. It doesn't even feel like a bunch of extra work, but I am obviously absorbing and retaining the information. ~ Courtney, Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine!

Firecracker is fantastic! It is a good preparation for Step 1 during medical school and a great supplement for classes as an MSI and MSII. ~ Stephen, Texas Tech!

If you want a ridiculous board score, Firecracker is very helpful.  All of my friends who scored 260+ [on USMLE Step 1] used it. ~ Harvard Medical Student!

Firecracker's adaptive questioning is excellent for keeping difficult material at the forefront of your attention, while also making sure that material you are comfortable with is not forgotten. ~ Jared, St. George's University School of Medicine!

Hilton #5028 ;)Firecracker has been my bread and butter throughout most of med school. I now have 6 months left to prepare Step 1, and I can't imagine the spot I'd be in without Firecracker. I started it late in the summer between years 1 and 2; I wish I had started it sooner. ~ Brett, University of Arizona College of Medicine!

Ever since I started using firecracker, I have been remembering information and detail that I never could before. Now when I take a practice test on UWorld or explain things to colleagues, the information is practically on the tip of my tongue. ~ Jonathan, Medical University of Lublin!

Firecracker is amazing. I have retained and learned things that were very difficult for me to remember accurate details about during my regular coursework. It’s convenient and I can do it on the go with the mobile app. ~ Fahad, Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine!

I just decided to trust Firecracker because the more I used it, the more my practice test scores went up…and it paid off! ~ K.G., Stanford University School of Medicine
