Why build your own PMP deck

Pre-built decks from any publisher cover the same generic terms, but your exam prep depends on your own course readings and practice materials. Building PMP flashcards from those sources means every card reflects what you were actually assigned to learn. Earned value formulas, the difference between a risk register and an issue log, and the inputs and outputs of each process can all be pulled straight from your notes.

  • Upload PDFs, slides, notes, or photos of textbook pages
  • Cards cover terms, formulas, and process inputs and outputs
  • Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss most
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card
Example PMP flashcards from the PMBOK Guide
What is earned value (EV)?The value of work actually completed, measured using the budgeted cost of that completed work.
What is the critical path?The longest sequence of dependent activities in a schedule, which sets the shortest possible project duration.
What does a Schedule Performance Index (SPI) below 1.0 mean?EV divided by PV is below 1.0, so the project is behind schedule. The index shows how efficiently schedule time is being used.
What is a risk register?A log of identified risks with their probability, impact, response strategies, and owners, updated throughout the project.
What is the purpose of the stakeholder register?It records each stakeholder's identification details, assessment, classification, and engagement approach, so the team can plan communication.

Built from your material

Flashcards come from the PMBOK excerpts, course slides, and notes you upload, so the terms match your course and your instructor's emphasis.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss return sooner and cards you know come back less often, which fits how people retain formulas and process definitions over several weeks.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple-choice and short-answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map of the knowledge areas and process groups.

How it works

Upload your PMP material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl creates question-and-answer cards from the content. Review them and remove any you do not need.

Study on a spaced schedule

Work through the deck in your browser each day. The schedule adjusts to what you get right and wrong.

Start with the chapters or slides you find hardest, generate a set of cards, and study them in short daily sessions. Spaced repetition keeps older material in rotation so that early topics do not fade while you work through later ones. Free accounts get 3 generations per month and browser study. Paid plans add unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export if you want to study elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

What should I include in my PMP flashcards?

Focus on terms with precise definitions, such as earned value, float, and stakeholder engagement levels, plus the inputs, tools, and outputs of each process. Formulas like CPI and SPI are worth their own cards with a worked example on the back.

How many PMP flashcards should I study each day?

Many students find that 20 to 40 new cards per day is manageable alongside other study, with reviews handled by the spaced schedule. Adjust the number based on how quickly your recall improves.

Can I export PMP flashcards to Anki or a CSV file?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export, and studying in the browser is available on the free plan.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card and get 3 generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
