Why a custom term list works better than a generic one

A ready-made list of AP Psychology terms covers the whole course, but your exam depends on the units your teacher emphasized and the chapters in your textbook. Cards made from your own material focus on that vocabulary and skip the terms you won't see in class.

Flashcards from your own slides, PDFs and notes instead of a generic list
Spaced repetition so the hardest terms come back more often
Multiple choice and true/false quizzes with explanations for practice under exam conditions
Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan if you prefer another review app

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Flashcards come from the slides, PDFs and notes your teacher actually uses, so the terms match your course.

Spaced repetition

Terms you miss come back more often, and the ones you know move to longer gaps between reviews.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch from flashcards to multiple choice or true/false quizzes with explanations, or map how related concepts connect.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of your notes. Photos are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the terms and definitions, then edit anything that doesn't match your class vocabulary.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser each day. Spaced repetition brings back the terms you are most likely to forget.

Writing a definition in your own words and then checking it against the source is one of the most reliable ways to learn psychology vocabulary. DeckOwl gives you a starting set so you can spend your time testing recall instead of typing cards.

Start with the terms from your most recent unit, then add older units as you go. Spaced repetition handles the rest by bringing back the terms you keep missing.
