The MCAT study app you'll actually want to open.
Swipe through original MCAT questions like a feed, beat timed boss battles, and find out whether you're losing points to content, traps, or time. Free to play. No account. Works on your phone.
No subscription. Install it to your home screen and it works offline.
Twenty-five questions, then you're done for the day.
Long cramming days burn people out by week three. 520 Quest gives you a short daily mission and tells you when to stop.
Scroll
Swipe up through questions, CARS passages, high-yield facts and trap alerts. Combos, random crits and loot chests keep it moving.
Tag every miss
Missed one? Tag it Content, Trap or Time. Your Error DNA chart shows which problem is costing you the most points.
Stop when the ring fills
Hit your daily goal and the app says "Done for today." Missed questions come back after 1, 3 and 7 days until you've beaten them.
Everything you need for daily practice, free.
Swipe feed
Original questions across all four sections. Every answer choice explained, right or wrong.
Boss battles
Ten timed questions at real exam pace, about 95 seconds each. Four bosses, one per section plus a mixed final boss.
Error DNA
See at a glance whether you need more content review, better trap spotting, or faster pacing.
Skill map
All 31 official AAMC content categories with your accuracy in each. Tap a weak one to drill it.
CARS passages
Short original passages with comprehension, reasoning-within and reasoning-beyond questions.
Streaks and levels
Daily streaks with earned freezes, XP, ranks from Pre-Med Rookie to 528 Legend, and 13 badges.
Top prep costs hundreds or thousands. Daily practice shouldn't.
520 Quest isn't a full course and doesn't replace official AAMC practice exams. It's the daily habit that sits beside them.

Before you start
Is this official AAMC material?
No. Every question in 520 Quest is original. Use official AAMC practice exams for your full-lengths; 520 Quest is for daily practice between them.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and play. Your progress is saved on your device, and a backup code in the Me tab moves it to a new phone or laptop.
Will it guarantee a 520?
No app can promise a score. 520 Quest is built to make daily practice consistent and to show you exactly where your points are going.
How do I install it?
On iPhone, open the app in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, open it in Chrome and tap Install app. After that it works offline.
How does Pro work?
You buy once through Gumroad and get an unlock code by email. Paste it in the Me tab and Pro turns on. No subscription, nothing renews.
