NEET Biology flashcards, free
Biology is half of the NEET paper, and most of it is facts you have to recall fast: organelles, hormones, inheritance ratios, units. We wrote 120 short question-and-answer cards from NCERT Class 11 and 12 Biology. Use them free, either as a download or inside Recall, which shows each card again just before you would forget it.

Why spaced repetition suits NEET
Rereading NCERT feels productive but fades within days. Answering a question from memory, then seeing it again at growing gaps, is the most reliable way to keep thousands of facts ready for exam day. Ten to twenty minutes of cards a day across two years of preparation adds up to every chapter seen many times, with the hard ones seen most.
Make your own cards
- Type cards by hand, including cloze cards for diagrams and definitions.
- Import a coaching deck shared as an Anki .apkg file or a CSV.
