Why your own CCNA material beats a generic deck

Most ready-made decks cover the CCNA in broad strokes, but your instructor's slides and lab notes show what your exam will actually test. Upload them to DeckOwl and it turns that material into the best CCNA flashcards for your course, with each card worded from your own sources.

  • Cards come from your own slides, notes and PDFs, so they match your course.
  • Spaced repetition brings back weak cards more often than the ones you already know.
  • Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition, so you do not have to retype anything.
  • Export to Anki or CSV on Plus when you want your deck somewhere else.
Example CCNA flashcards on routing and switching
What does the transport layer of the OSI model do?It provides end-to-end delivery, segmentation and reliability, using TCP or UDP.
What is the default administrative distance of OSPF?110. Static routes use 1, EIGRP internal routes use 90, and RIP uses 120.
How many usable hosts are in a /26 subnet?62, because 64 addresses minus the network and broadcast addresses leaves 62.
What does Spanning Tree Protocol do?It prevents Layer 2 loops by blocking redundant paths and reactivating them if the active path fails.
How does an access port differ from a trunk port?An access port carries traffic for one VLAN, while a trunk carries multiple VLANs tagged with 802.1Q.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages, and get cards that match what your instructor actually covered.

Spaced repetition

Each card is scheduled so you see the ones you struggle with more often, which helps with long CCNA topic lists.

Quizzes and mind maps too

The same upload can produce multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, plus mind maps of how topics connect.

How it works

Upload your study files

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

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards, edit anything that is unclear, and keep only the cards that match your course objectives.

Study with spaced repetition

Review cards in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki or CSV on Plus when you want them elsewhere.

Spaced repetition then schedules each card so you review subnetting formulas and OSPF timers right before you are likely to forget them. Quizzes and mind maps from the same upload help you check whether you can apply the concepts, not just recall them.

Free accounts can study the cards in the browser, and Plus adds export to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV for studying on other devices.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for the CCNA?

Let the number follow your exam objectives rather than a fixed target. Keep each card to one fact or one question so you can review it quickly.

Which CCNA topics should flashcards cover first?

Start with subnetting, routing protocols, VLANs and spanning tree, since these appear across the exam and build on each other. Study one topic at a time so each set stays manageable.

Can I export CCNA flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a Plus feature, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study generated cards in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan to try this?

Yes. The free plan includes 5 generations a week and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
