For Serious Learners Who Want to Score Higher On Career Exams (MCAT, USMLE, CFA, Bar, CPA, etc.)

Discover an efficient system that gets through massive amounts of information quickly, understands deeply, and gives STRONG retention.

If you’re studying for MCAT, Step 1, CFA, CPA, boards/bar, or any other similar-sized career exam right now…

Let me guess what’s happening:

➡ You’re can’t focus on studying because deep down, there’s a feeling that it won’t stick anyway

➡ You’re overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information you need to learn

➡ You forget what you studied within weeks (sometimes days) of learning it

➡ You’re answering ENDLESS practice questions but they don’t seem to stick — you instantly blank out when the question is asked on another angle

➡ You have too many resources and don’t know which to follow or what’s important

➡ You don’t have a reliable system — just a collection of random tactics that don’t work together

If you checked NONE of these — great! You don’t need this. Close this page.

But if you nodded even once… read on because I’m going to show you a REPEATABLE learn your materials 2x faster (by eliminating wasted time), and have strong, lasting retention — using ONE learning system.

If you’re new here, my name’s Al Khan.


I’m a former failing student who failed 4 subjects and barely passed everything else. Got delayed by 1 year. Lost almost 2 years in potential income.

But after I broke down the step-by-step process of learning, I got the most insane transformation I’ve ever had:

  • Study 5 years of Engineering subjects in 5 months for my board exams
  • I finished at #6 out of 2900+ students (top 0.3%) on the said exam
  • Get accepted in Grad School as a scholar in one of the top engineering universities in my country
  • Maintain good grades for my Grad School scholarship while studying marketing, business, psychology, and writing on my blog

Today, I’m a (lowkey) learning coach helping 5,000+ learners pass career exams using a complete learning system.


Why Test Prep Courses Won’t Save You (If You Don’t Fix This)

You just dropped $2,499 on an on-demand prep course. Added another QBank access for $150-400. Got a tutor for $50/hour.

It’s all good — everybody does it, right? But here’s the bad news.

All that money goes DIRECTLY to the garbage if you can’t remember what you studied yesterday.

A lot of students would swear that these prep courses make the exam prep process more “straightforward”. After all, knowing WHAT to study saves you so much time.

However…

  • More practice questions mean nothing if you forget the explanations
  • More video lectures mean nothing if you zone out after 10 minutes because nothing makes sense
  • More “high-yield” summaries mean nothing if they don’t stick

And no, don’t tell me you just need “more accountability”. Your ENTIRE career is on the line — that’s all the accountability you need.

What you need is effectiveness. It’s SEEING RESULTS that motivates you to keep going. Not some test prep course worth a mortgage that makes you feel worse about how behind you are.

Here’s the brutal truth: If you don’t fix your learning system, you’ll be buying another prep course next year. And another one after that.

The test prep industry counts on this. Repeat customers who think they need “more comprehensive coverage” when REALLY they need to fix the holes in their bucket.


What if you could recall ANY material — predictably — after studying it once?


Imagine this:

You finish studying your materials weeks before the exam — not cramming until 3am the night before.

You see a question about something you studied 6 months ago and the answer comes instantly. Like remembering your own phone number.

You walk out knowing you crushed it. No anxiety. No “I should have studied more.” Just quiet confidence.

Then the results come: PASSED.

Finally, you’re Dr. [Your Name]. Attorney [Your Name]. [Your Name], CPA.

That residency in cardiology? Yours. That position at the top firm? Yours. That tech role paying $200k? Yours.

Instead of watching classmates move forward while you schedule another retake…

You could land your dream job at a workplace you’ll actually love.

Instead of explaining to people why you need “just one more try” or “delay taking again”…

You could get your life back and spend more time with family and friends — now as an upgraded version of yourself.

Instead of looking for and settling for Plan B careers…

You could start saying, “I finally made it” and move on with your life. Find a partner. Move to another city. Travel the world — whatever you want.

These all may sound too good to be true, but it isn’t.

This is simply what happens when you fix your learning system.


The 3-Step Process for Having Strong, Lasting Retention

Most people think they just have “poor memory” or they’re just “slow learners.”

It’s not YOU, it’s your PROCESS.

It’s NOT that there’s “something wrong with you” — there’s something wrong what you’ve been doing.

And I’m NOT talking about a mere combination of random hacks, tools, and magic pills.

For example, “explaining things simply to someone else” or “doing Feynman/Pomodoro/Active Recall” or even make (low quality) Anki cards nonstop..

I’m talking about a step-by-step process…

Where material goes IN, and you’ll have that knowledge at your fingertips.

Sounds too good to be true, but once you start using the right process, you WILL become convinced of your abilities and start to believe in yourself more, like I did.

And you get to that “right process” by working with the memory’s core processes. (A-ha, captain obvious!)

Take a look:

Hard Drive Model

And if you treat the memory like a “manufacturing plant” with a couple of stages, you’ll quickly realize:

The only way you can study effectively is when your study system works with the core processes of memory.

These core processes/stages are:

  1.  Encoding. The “initial learning” of information, which requires a clear working memory.
  2.  Storage. How you information is maintained/consolidated over time — which is strengthened by better processing & effortful retrieval.
  3.  Retrieval. Happens whenever you access information from memory. The great thing about retrieval is that the process itself makes ideas a bit stronger and easier to access.

And let’s get a few things out of the way, shall we?

Knowing this 3-step process, you’ll quickly realize that:

  • Pomodoros ALONE are not enough to make you study better or “beat procrastination inStAntlY”
  • Note taking ALONE is not enough to make you learn new things
  • Anki/Active Recall/Spaced Repetition ALONE is not enough to make you remember what you learn_ _(especially for concepts!)
  • Understanding ALONE is not enough especially when the intervals between topics are too far

They need to be PART OF the system, not BECOME it!

Don’t get me wrong here: These are GREAT. I’ve used them myself, and they’re effective for their intended context.

In ISOLATION, though — which other students do — they just plain suck.

We could be using Obsidian/Notion/Roam Research/Anki/Active Recall for all we care, but at the end of the day, it’s all about how you work with those 3 processes.

Introducing…

LeanAnki Study System: The Only Step-by-Step Learning System for Dominating Career Exams

LeanAnki Study System (LASS) is a fast-paced online course that gives you the skills, mental models, and systems for finishing a lot of materials without overwhelm and retaining them beyond your exams.

  • It’s experience-based. I’ve only included things that I’ve already proven to work. No ideas that “sound good in theory” but don’t really work in practice.
  • It’s coherent. You don’t need to guess “when to apply these tactics” because, instead of out-of-context grocery list of “hacks,” you get a step-by-step workflow.
  • It’s permanent. The course focuses on developing the right skills ALONG with the right process. And once you learn these skills, you’ll be able to use them for LIFE.

Unlike how most people treat studying like random activities — read this, highlight that, make some flashcards, pretend you’re explaining it, hope it sticks…

LASS treats learning like an engineered process. (I’m an engineer, after all) Every step has a purpose. Every technique builds on the previous one. Nothing is wasted.

Here’s Everything You Get in LeanAnki Study System

Others make you watch 40+ hours of rambling videos like it’s your full time job. I literally give you the shortest path from struggling to succeeding — like you’re not even taking a course. No useless activities, just straight to implementing WHILE you’re studying.

The entire core system is written content you can consume and apply in a weekend — but implement for life. No filler.

🎯 Course Primer + Core Modules (14 lessons) – Worth $499

Inside these modules, you’ll learn:

  • The “High-Structure” Secret That Makes Everything Click – Why most students waste hours on slides and summaries (and the specific source type that teaches concepts properly the first time)
  • The 2-Step Reading Method That Forces Deep Understanding – How to turn your notes into “thinking tools” that reveal hidden relationships between concepts (not the useless transcripts you’re making now)
  • The “Early Warning System” That Catches Problems Before Exams – A specific type of question that exposes comprehension gaps while stakes are still low (most students never discover these gaps until it’s too late)
  • The “Atomic Card” Method for Remembering Massive Volumes – How to convert complex information into precise units your brain can actually retrieve, PLUS the counterintuitive technique for never losing the big picture
  • The 10-Minute Setup That Creates Permanent Retention – Why the “LeanAnki Method” only needs 1 hour per day (and the specific algorithm that tells you the perfect review moment)
  • The Compound Effect Nobody Talks About – Why Chapter 10 becomes simple when you do THIS with Chapters 1-9 (hint: it’s how you “learn faster” before you even start studying)
  • The Japanese Principle That Makes Your System Self-Improving – How to ensure your studying gets faster and more precise over time, not slower and more frustrating like everyone else’s

Again, this is NOT another study “hack”.

It’s a complete learning operating system that works in the long-term.


⚡ System Upgrades (6 advanced techniques that fit your system like a glove)

Specific techniques that work WITH your system, rather than confuse you even more:

  • The “Forest vs Trees” Problem Every Anki User Faces – Why drilling individual cards actually destroys your understanding of how concepts connect (and the 5-minute fix that maintains both detail AND context)
  • Why 90% of Anki Users Are Using It Backwards for Skill Learning – The critical difference between memorizing facts and building skills (plus the specific card type that triggers actual skill development)
  • The “Memory Scaffold” That Lets You Remember 20+ Items in 30 Minutes – How to use a hidden mental structure that makes long lists stick instantly (medical students use this for drug names, but it works for anything)
  • The “Binary Pomodoro” Method for 8-Hour Study Days – Why traditional Pomodoros fail after 3 hours and the ON/OFF pattern that maintains peak focus all day without burning out
  • The “First Principles” System Elon Musk Uses to Learn Anything – How to build “Logic Chains” that connect concepts at the root level (this is why he can jump from rockets to cars to AI)
  • The “Environmental Trigger” That Makes Good Habits Automatic – How to set up “Forcing Functions” that eliminate the need for willpower (you literally can’t NOT do the right thing)

When You Join Today, You’ll Also Get These Bonuses At No Extra Charge

Mastery Module #1: How to Read Textbooks Faster and Have Strong Retention (worth $497 in other courses)

  • The “Bloom Test” That Tells You When to Stop Reading – Why most students read the same page 5 times and still forget it (and the 30-second check that guarantees encoding)
  • The “Bracket Method” that I used to read 1000-Page Textbooks – How to extract core concepts in 1/3 the time without missing crucial details
  • Why “Goalposting” Makes Massive Books Feel Small – The psychological trick that turns overwhelming textbooks into manageable chunks

  • Example: Complex Information That Actually Sticks – Turn dense paragraphs into atomic cards using the Referring Address Technique. See exactly where to split information and what to leave out
  • Example: Mathematical Formulas You Can Actually Use – Not just memorizing symbols. Watch me create cards for trigonometric identities that include the patterns and triggers for when to use them (includes my Hidden Markov Model cards)
  • Example: Process Cards for 12-Step Sequences – See how I turn a multi-step process into chunks you learn ONCE but can retrieve in any order. No more cloze overlapper nightmares
  • Example: Anatomy Cards That Beat Recognition Tricks – Why standard image occlusion fails and how to create cards that test actual knowledge, not just “I recognize this shape.” Real anatomy diagram demonstrations included

Lifetime Updates – This is a ONE-TIME investment for a lifetime of improved results

Good news is, the system could evolve as I discover new techniques.

You get everything forever. No recurring fees.

Let me put this in perspective…

Students typically throw money at their study problems like this:

  • Kaplan test prep courses: $1,499-$2,999
  • Premium study guides and question banks: $300-500 per subject
  • Tutoring: $75-150 per hour (minimum 20 hours = $1,500+)
  • “Speed reading” courses: $497
  • Every Anki add-on and shared deck: Priceless time wasted

Total damage: $3,000-5,000 easy.

And what do you get? MORE materials to wade through when you can’t even process what you already have.

It’s like buying 10 more textbooks when you can’t understand the first one. Makes zero sense.

LeanAnki Study System takes the opposite approach. Learn HOW to learn first. Then everything else becomes manageable.

Your investment is a one-time payment of $297.

You get everything. The entire system. Forever.


Because I know my material really works, I want to invite you to test-drive LASS for a full month — I’ll bear all the risk.

Go through Module 1. Set up your system. Create your first batch of atomic cards. Actually implement what I teach.

If after 30 days of real use you don’t see dramatic improvement in both retention AND study time, email me at [email protected] with:

  • What you tried
  • Where you got stuck
  • What would’ve helped

I’ll refund your entire investment, and even eat all the processing fees 🙂

Why am I this confident?

Because systems beat tactics every time. McDonald’s doesn’t make the same quality burgers using “burger tips and hacks” — they use a system to produce the same results every time.

And this system has been stress-tested by 500+ students facing actual high-stakes exams — not just trying to “optimize their workflow.”

I’ll be straightforward — you could piece this together alone, same as what I did. Here’s that timeline:

  • Try every YouTube “study hack” (spoiler: they conflict)
  • Buy books on learning how to learn, actually read through the stuff, and implement the takeaways
  • Finally realize you need a system, not more tactics
  • Start building the same thing I’m offering you today, except it’s an untested system

By then? You’ve already lost a lot of time that you could’ve used for learning things the right way.

I already paid that price. Spent 3 years in confusion. Restarted Anki decks with 1,000+ cards in the middle of my exam prep because I made the WRONG cards. Tested everything on myself first, then with hundreds of students.

This isn’t theory. It’s a result of being on the edge of failure and desperation.

You don’t have to go through that painful process.

You could simply stop collecting study methods and start actually studying — the right way.


What students say about LASS

In the first release of the course in 2020, I’ve only had a few enrollees — but here’s what some of them has to say.

NOTE: Everything in here are unsolicited testimonials.

Stelio is a double degree student in Dentistry and Med School. I imagined he wouldn’t have enough time to study, let alone read my course, because of his clinic duties. But here’s what he told me about a few weeks after taking the course: Yup, he still got the highest marks in his degree. I’m very proud of that guy, really.

UPDATE: Stelio’s got awesome grades this year. Merry Christmas, indeed!

Here’s Charlie, who told me how he’s been enjoying learning and implementing LASS:

Finally, here’s what the latest members say…

I made this course because I was getting pretty pissed off at mainstream advice.

Something needed to change, and these are the people who agreed with that.

Now, to give you a quick peace of mind, here’s what people are saying outside the course…

They’re not super extraordinary “testimonials”, but being able to help others in small ways — even just by providing them clarity or helping them get past a small roadblock — is already a great achievement for me.


This Is For You If

You’re a busy student or professional studying for career exams while juggling a demanding schedule

You’re changing careers and need to learn fast to compete

You’ve failed before and need a completely different approach

You’re just tired of forgetting everything

This is NOT for you if:

  • You’re learning just for fun — this is intense learning
  • You’re looking for shortcuts or hacks but not willing to do the work
  • You blindly believe in “learning styles” and refuse to try proven methods
  • You want motivation, not proper technique

Frequently Asked Questions

“There’s a LOT of free content out there. How is this different from watching YouTube videos?” YouTube gives you 100 contradicting opinions. I give you one proven system. It’s the difference between having random car parts scattered everywhere versus having the blueprint to build the actual car. If YouTube actually helped you take the right action, more people would’ve been successful.

“Does this work for [my specific exam]?” Well, memory principles are universal — whether that’s medical boards, bar exams, CPA, engineering boards, AWS certifications, MCAT, and dozens more.

“I tried Anki before and quit. Why would this be different?” Because you were using Anki without a system. Most people do, and that’s why they end up with hollow knowledge. LASS shows you the complete workflow — what to put in, how to break it down, when to review, how to fix problems.

“How much time do I need daily?” Minimum 30 minutes for the course. For studying — you’re probably already studying 4+ hours daily. This just makes those hours actually count.

“What if I’m starting late?” If you’re under 1 month before a big career exam and you’re part-time studying, sorry to say but that’s not enough time anymore. DO NOT JOIN.

“Is this just for students?” No. Working professionals use it for certifications. Career changers use it to learn new fields. It works for anyone who needs to remember lots of information.

“Do I need to be tech-savvy?” If you can send an email, you can do this. Everything has screenshots. Still stuck? Email me directly.

“Why is this price justified?” You’re buying time and faster implementation, which saves you days, if not months or years. And right now if you’re preparing for a big exam, you need every minute you could get. Also: it’s expensive enough that you’re going to take action, but cheap enough it’s still a win-win.


A Year From Now, You’ll Wish You Started Today

You now know why your current methods don’t work.

You now know about what happens when you can actually create repeatable permanent memory.

You know dozens of students have already proven this system works.

You even know that if it doesn’t work for you, you get every penny back.

If you haven’t taken action right now, I probably know the reason:

The only thing left is fear.

Fear that you’re not really smart enough (you are).
Fear that it won’t work for you (it will).
Fear that you’ll waste money (you won’t).

But look, here’s the bigger fear you should have:

What if nothing changes?

What if you’re still re-reading the same chapters next year? Still watching others live the life you want?

That’s not a fear. That’s a guarantee if you keep using broken methods.

Every day you wait, someone else is using this system to take the opportunity you wanted. They’re not smarter. They just stopped waiting for the perfect moment.

This is YOUR moment.

A year from now, you’ll either look back at this moment, raving about how it’s the most pivotal decision you’ve made in your career…

…or it could just be yet another regular day — because when nothing changes, nothing changes.

Still reading?

Every minute you spend thinking about this is another minute you could be implementing it.

The system takes just one day to set up. That’s it. By tomorrow, you’ll be studying differently. By next month, you’ll wonder how you ever studied any other way.

But only if you start.


P.S. — You’ve read this far. That tells me you know something needs to change. The question isn’t whether this system works — hundreds of students have proven it does. The question is whether you’ll be or spend another year struggling with methods that don’t work. Choose wisely.
