High-yield core = how fully the deck covers the must-know concepts. Breadth = how much of the full outline it spans. Depth = how many cards it spends per concept (study style — deep drilling vs. a fast single pass), not a quality score. MCAT cards counts cards whose content maps to our outline (off-exam cards excluded); figures are rounded estimates. How we audit decks →
