Frequently asked questions
How does Tegaru help with USMLE Step 1?
Upload First Aid pages, Pathoma notes, lecture slides, or your own summaries and Tegaru generates high-yield flashcards. Spaced repetition then schedules reviews so the dense Step 1 content stays in long-term memory.
Can I use it alongside First Aid and Pathoma?
Yes. Tegaru is built to turn your existing resources into active-recall cards, so it complements First Aid, Pathoma, and lecture material rather than replacing them.
Does it use spaced repetition like dedicated Step 1 decks?
Yes — every card is scheduled with the SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm, the same evidence-based approach popular Step 1 decks rely on, but generated from your own materials.
Is it free to start?
Yes — your first deck is free. Premium unlocks unlimited documents and advanced study features.
