Common Questions
Yes. The full dashboard is completely free. Study planner, content tracker, score analytics, Anki sync, mistake log, timer, journal, achievements, all of it. No credit card, no trial period, no catch. I built this because I wanted every student to have access to real study tools.
Right now, it's me, Shafee. I've been coaching and tutoring students since high school, and I've spent thousands of hours refining both my own MCAT prep and the prep of dozens of students. Every student I work with gets a unique, tailored approach because no two study plans should look the same. I scored a 520, I'm matriculating to medical school this fall, and I work with each Pulse+ student directly through strategy calls and daily async support. It's one person who genuinely understands what you're going through.
Not a traditional one. UWorld and AAMC already do that well. What Pulse does is generate review questions tailored to your mistakes. When you log a question you got wrong, a trained AI model ingests your mistakes and generates questions around that specific concept, testing it from different angles through spaced repetition. So instead of grinding random problems, you're reviewing the topics you tend to have trouble with. This is part of Pulse+.
You could build your own tracker in Google Sheets, but Pulse gives you Anki sync, mistake log analytics, content mastery tracking, score visualizations, a study planner, and a full achievement system ready to go in 30 seconds. For free.
Not at all. You can add your past scores and start logging from today. A lot of students actually find Pulse most useful in the middle of their prep when they want a clear picture of what they've covered and what still needs work. The content tracker and mistake log are especially helpful at that stage.
Yes, I'm actively building this. New features ship every week based on what students actually ask for. If there's something you want, send me feedback directly from the dashboard and I'll read it. I'm serious, I read every single one.
