How to build CFA flashcards for Anki

CFA candidates carry a heavy load of memorization: formulas, ethics standards, and the definitions that come up in every topic area. CFA flashcards for Anki can carry part of that load if you build them from your own curriculum notes instead of typing each card by hand.

  • Turn lecture slides and reading PDFs into cards in one upload.
  • Keep formulas, standards, and definitions as separate cards for faster review.
  • Study with spaced repetition in the browser or export to Anki on Plus.
  • Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
Example CFA Level I flashcards
Future value of a single sumFV = PV × (1 + r)^n, where r is the periodic rate and n is the number of periods.
CFA Standard I(A), Knowledge of the LawMembers must follow the stricter of applicable law or the Code and Standards when the two conflict.
Modified durationApproximates the percentage change in a bond's price for a 1% change in yield, so it measures price sensitivity to rates.
Sharpe ratio(Portfolio return − risk-free rate) ÷ portfolio standard deviation, measuring excess return per unit of total risk.
Capital asset pricing model (CAPM)E(R) = Rf + β × (E(Rm) − Rf), so expected return equals the risk-free rate plus beta times the market risk premium.

Cards from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or photos of pages. The text is read and turned into flashcards that follow your curriculum.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at the intervals that suit how well you remember them, so formulas and ethics standards get reviewed before you forget them.

Export to Anki

Plus includes Anki export, along with PDF, DOCX, and CSV, so your CFA deck can move into the Anki app you already use.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for each CFA topic?

Aim for one card per formula, definition, or rule rather than whole paragraphs, so each card can be recalled in a few seconds. Review the ethics standards and formulas more often than facts you already know well.

What should go on the front and back of a CFA flashcard?

Put the term, formula, or standard on the front and the precise answer on the back, including any conditions that change it. Keep the wording from your curriculum so the card matches how the exam asks the question.

Can I export DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, but no exports.
