A study published Dec. 2015 at WashU found:
"The use of boards-style questions and Anki flashcards predicted performance on Step 1 in our multivariate model, while Firecracker use did not."
"Unique Firecracker flashcards seen did not predict Step 1 score. Each additional 445 boards-style practice questions or 1700 unique Anki flashcards was associated with one additional point on Step 1 when controlling for other academic and psychological factors."
"Students who complete more practice questions or flashcards may simply study more in general, though the lack of a benefit with Firecracker compared with Anki suggests against this confounder."
