Why build your own CFA flashcards

Pre-made CFA flashcard sets often don't match the readings your course assigns or the wording your materials use. Many people who search for a ready-made deck end up rebuilding it from their own notes anyway. Use CFA flashcards generated from your own material instead.

Cards come from the readings and slides you already use.
Spaced repetition brings back weaker cards more often.
Formulas, definitions and standards can each be a separate card.
Export to Anki or CSV is available on the Plus plan.

Example CFA Level I flashcards

How many Standards of Professionalism does the CFA Code of Ethics cover?Seven, labeled I through VII, from professionalism through responsibilities as a CFA Institute member or candidate.

What is the formula for the present value of a single cash flow?PV = FV / (1 + r)^n, where r is the discount rate per period and n is the number of periods.

What does Macaulay duration measure?The weighted average time, in years, until a bond's cash flows are received, and the basis for modified duration.

What is the Sharpe ratio?Portfolio return above the risk-free rate, divided by the standard deviation of the portfolio's returns.

In the CAPM, what does beta measure?How sensitive an asset's return is to market returns, calculated as covariance with the market divided by market variance.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload the readings, lecture slides or handwritten notes you already study from, so the cards match your course.

Spaced repetition

Reviews are scheduled so formulas and standards come back just before you would forget them.

Export when you need it

Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so your cards can move to another app.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images.

Review the cards

Check the generated flashcards and edit any that miss a key term or formula.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in the browser, and let spaced repetition set when each card returns.

Upload the PDF of your reading summaries, a lecture deck, or photos of handwritten pages. The tool pulls out key terms, definitions and formulas, and spaced repetition schedules reviews so the ethics standards and fixed-income formulas stay fresh.

If you are moving from another flashcard app, Plus lets you export to Anki or CSV, so you can keep the cards you already trust and add new ones from your latest notes.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for CFA Level I?

There is no fixed number that works for everyone, so aim for the key formulas, definitions and standards in each topic rather than filling a deck to a target. Short daily sessions tend to work better than one long session before the exam.

Which CFA topics work best as flashcards?

Formulas and definitions work well, such as time value of money, the Sharpe ratio and duration, along with the Ethical and Professional Standards. Topics that need long explanations are often better practiced as quiz questions.

Can I export my CFA flashcards?

Yes, PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exporting.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
