Why build your own GRE vocab deck

Ready-made GRE vocab Anki decks are easy to find, but they rarely match the word list your prep course or practice test uses. A GRE vocab Anki deck built from your own material keeps your review focused on the words you will actually see.

  • Upload the word lists from your prep book, course or practice sets.
  • Check each generated card against the source before you start reviewing.
  • Review a small batch of new words daily and let spaced repetition handle repeats.
  • Export to Anki on Plus if you already use Anki on your phone or laptop.
Example GRE vocab flashcards for an Anki deck

ObfuscateTo make something unclear or harder to understand, often on purpose.
SanguineOptimistic and cheerful, especially in a difficult situation.

Built from your word lists

Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides, plain notes or a photo of a vocab sheet, and DeckOwl pulls out the terms and definitions for your flashcards.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know spread out over time, so review sessions focus on the words you are still shaky on.

Export to Anki on Plus

Plus includes Anki export, so you can move your GRE vocab cards into Anki on any device. The free plan studies in the browser.

How it works

Upload your material

Add your GRE word list, class notes, or a photo of a vocabulary handout. No credit card is needed to start.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each flashcard, then edit or remove anything that does not match your source.

Study or export

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export to Anki on Plus and keep reviewing there.

Generating the deck from your notes also means each card reflects the context you studied it in, such as the sentence from a reading passage or the definition your instructor gave. Writing the cards yourself takes time, and copying someone else's deck can leave gaps.

Spaced repetition does the scheduling, so a short daily session can cover new words and older ones you are about to forget. Treat the deck as a living list and add words as you meet them in practice questions.

Frequently asked questions

How many GRE vocab words should I study each day?

Many students work through a small daily batch, often 10 to 20 new words, and then review older cards. Consistency over several weeks usually helps more than long single sessions.

What is the best way to remember GRE vocabulary words?

Pair each word with a sentence that shows how it is used, and review it at spaced intervals rather than all at once. Writing your own example sentences can also make the meaning stick.

Can I export my GRE vocab flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included on the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and study in the browser without adding a card.
