Study this deck out loud

Built for people with no spare hour

Accelerated programs pack a degree into a year or two, often around a job and a family. same3le turns the minutes in between into reps: it asks, you answer out loud, it checks you and moves on. Phone on the counter, hands busy.

FAQ

Questions about this deck

Can I really study while cooking or doing chores?

Yes, that is the point. same3le reads each question aloud and listens for your answer, so you don’t need to look at or touch the screen. Never use it while driving a car if it distracts you, and not during patient care.

Are these the official normal values for my exam?

No. Reference ranges vary between labs, textbooks and programs. Treat this deck as a starting point and edit any card to match what your program teaches.

Is it free?

Yes. The deck and the core app are free and need no account.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. same3le runs in your phone’s browser. Spoken answers need a browser with speech recognition, such as Chrome or Safari.
