Your brain is built to forget. Your study tools should know that.
In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus measured what every student feels: most of what you learn today is gone within days. Not because you’re careless — because forgetting is how a healthy brain makes room.
Memory Island schedules each card’s next review for the moment you’re about to forget it — one day out, then six, then weeks. The engine is SM-2, the algorithm behind decades of spaced-repetition research, or FSRS, a newer model built on the same idea — you can use either. The result is what cognitive scientists call durable learning — learning that resists forgetting. Ten focused minutes a day quietly replaces the all-nighter.

42 Cards
Cards due — some are overdue for review.
This is a real deck card from your dashboard — every deck visibly levels up as your memory does.
Don’t take our word for it. Take the quiz.
“Durable learning” isn’t our phrase — it’s cognitive science’s, with a century of lab results behind it. Three questions on its three strangest findings. The research says you’ll remember them better if you guess before you’re told — so guess first.
Two students, one hour, same chapter. Aiko rereads it four times. Ben reads it once, then spends the rest of the hour taking practice tests. Aiko walks out far more confident. Who remembers more a week later?
Same practice problems, two orders. One class drills them in tidy blocks — all of topic A, then B, then C — and cruises through practice. The other class gets the same problems shuffled together, and struggles. Who wins the exam a week later?
Last one: before you’re taught a brand-new fact, you’re forced to take a guess — and your guess is wrong. What did that wrong guess just do?
Built for depth, not just recognition.
Flashcards that only test recognition hand you a dangerous feeling of “I know this.” Memory Island is engineered to push past it.
You respond to a 62-year-old male, unresponsive at home. His wife reports he complained of chest pressure about an hour ago and took one aspirin before collapsing.

Scenarios that unfold like real cases
Questions stay pinned to an evolving case, and new information can arrive mid-scenario — the way it does on a real call. Cases follow the same vignette standards national board exams use: if a question is answerable without reading the case, it gets rewritten.
Tier 1 · Recall
Define the concept
Tier 2 · Apply
Use it in a new situation
Tier 3 · Analyze
Tell it apart from its nearest neighbor
One concept, climbing difficulty
Progression ladders re-ask the same concept up Bloom’s taxonomy — recall, then application, then analysis — and the next tier only unlocks when you’ve mastered the one below. Memorized the words without the meaning? Tier two will catch you. By design.
Questions written like the exam writes them
AI-generated cards follow NBME item-writing standards — the rulebook behind medical board questions. And with Expert Review , a second, stronger model grades every batch on seven quality dimensions before you ever see it.
Expert Review is part of Pro. Everything else described here — NBME-standard writing, AI cards from your own notes, and no cap at all on cards you write yourself — is free. The full split is below.
Cover-the-options
Stems must be answerable with the choices hidden — no “which is true?” filler.
Honest distractors
Wrong options are real misconceptions and confused neighbor concepts, not throwaways.
Explanations that teach
Every wrong answer explains what it actually is — and when it would have been right.
More than a passing score.
The COPR PCP exam is 60 multiple-choice questions, remotely proctored, one attempt at a time — and at $650 plus tax, a fail is an expensive rewrite of your timeline, not just your study plan.
Cramming can get you through it. It can’t make a protocol step surface automatically at 3 a.m., on someone’s worst call, six months after you passed. That’s what spaced repetition is for — and it’s what Memory Island is built to do.
"COPR-style" describes the practice format only — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reviewed by COPR.
Everything a serious study system needs.
An AI that writes cards from your own notes without inventing facts, eight question formats when a concept calls for one, and the unglamorous tools — import, export, offline — that a daily habit actually depends on.

- Multiple choice
- Multi-select

Building your decks
AI cards from your own notes
Paste notes or upload a PDF or DOCX. Every card is grounded in your material — the generator would rather make fewer cards than invent facts you never studied.
Anki import
Bring your .apkg decks along, cloze deletions included. No retyping your last two years of work.
Duplicate detection
Near-duplicate cards get flagged at creation time and across your whole library, so your deck stays lean.
How you practice
Test mode
Timed mock exams with per-deck score breakdowns and a best score to beat. Scored separately, so a practice test never skews your review schedule.
Written recall
Type the answer before the card flips. Recognizing an answer and producing one are different skills — this trains the one exams grade.
Branching scenario drills
Make a call, live with the consequence, then walk the branch points in a Hot Wash debrief. Deterministic scenario practice for MFR/PCP/ACP-style judgment calls — no live AI, so replaying costs nothing.
Built for the daily habit
Offline study
Pin decks to your device, study on the ferry, and sync safely when you’re back — a stale offline session can never clobber newer progress.
Collaborative decks
One shared deck for the whole study group; everyone’s mastery is tracked on their own.
Streaks & achievements
Daily streaks and a trophy room of badges — including a few hidden jokes for 2 a.m. sessions.
No lock-in
Export everything — every card, stat, and setting — as JSON or CSV, anytime. The only thing keeping you here should be that it works.
Free covers the whole method.
Every study mechanic is free, forever, on cards you write or import — the scheduler, all eight question formats, exam mode, the analytics, offline, and your data out in one click. Pro buys the thing we can’t give away: the exam-aligned content we write and keep current, plus the simulation library. One full module and one full On-Scene call are unlocked from the start, so you can judge the writing before you pay for it.

Questions worth asking first.
Including the ones where the honest answer is that something else might suit you better.
- Is Memory Island free?
- Yes, and the free plan is not a trial. Every study mechanic is free forever on cards you write or import: both schedulers (FSRS and SM-2), all eight question formats, Test Mode, the Blind Spot Matrix, weak-area tracking, exam pacing, offline study, Anki and deck import, and one-click export to JSON or CSV. Pro buys the exam-aligned content we write and keep current, plus the simulation library — not the software.
- What does Pro cost, and what does it add?
- Pro is $15 a month or $99 a year (45% less). It unlocks the full library of exam-aligned modules, every On-Scene simulation call, all official practice exams, the Expert Review pass, and higher AI limits (300 generated cards a day instead of 50). One full module and one full On-Scene call are unlocked from the start so you can judge the writing before paying for it. Cancel whenever — your cards, scheduling history, and export are unchanged on the free plan.
- What is spaced repetition, and why does it work?
- Spaced repetition schedules each review for roughly the moment you are about to forget something, rather than at a fixed interval. Recalling an item just as it starts to fade strengthens the memory far more than reviewing it while it is still fresh, so intervals stretch out as an item sticks: one day, then six, then weeks. Memory Island offers both SM-2, the algorithm behind decades of spaced-repetition research, and FSRS. The effect was first measured by Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885 and has been replicated ever since.
- How is this different from Anki?
- Anki is free, open source, and more configurable than Memory Island — if you want total control over scheduling and already have decks you trust, Anki is a genuinely good answer and we support importing from it. Memory Island differs in three ways: it generates cards from your own notes and protocols, it adds branching call scenarios and exam-mode practice on top of flashcards, and it ships exam-aligned content for specific certifications instead of leaving you to find a deck of unknown quality.
- How is this different from Quizlet?
- Quizlet is built around shared sets and recognition-style review, and it meters practice tests on its paid tiers. Memory Island keeps every study mechanic — including unlimited test mode — on the free plan, schedules reviews with a real spaced-repetition algorithm rather than a study mode you re-run manually, and is written for certification exams that test judgment rather than vocabulary recall.
- Does it work for the Alberta MFR or EMR exam?
- Yes. You can turn your own course material, protocols, and notes into spaced-repetition decks, then rehearse EMS call scenarios as branching drills where each choice changes what happens next. Exam-aligned modules are written against published competencies, and every card carries a rationale. Drills are an educational tool, not medical direction — your service’s protocols always govern.
- Can I import my existing Anki decks?
- Yes, on the free plan. Anki and general deck import are both included, along with a duplicate scan so an import does not leave you studying the same card twice.
- Can I get my data out?
- Yes, on the free plan, in one click. Every card, statistic, and setting exports as JSON or CSV at any time. The only thing keeping you here should be that it works.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Offline study is on the free plan, and sessions completed without a connection sync when you reconnect — the point of studying on a bus or in a station basement is that it still counts.
