Why build CFA les flashcards from your own readings

Preparing for the CFA exam means memorizing formulas, definitions and ethics standards across a long curriculum. Making CFA les flashcards from your own readings keeps the cards tied to the exact wording your course uses, instead of a generic deck.

Cards come directly from the PDFs, slides and notes you already study from.
Spaced repetition schedules reviews around how well you remember each card.
Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition, so you can add material without retyping it.
Plus exports to Anki and CSV if you want to study in another app.

Example CFA exam flashcards

What does Standard I(C) of the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct address?Misrepresentation: members and candidates must not knowingly misrepresent investment analysis, recommendations, actions or other professional activities.

What is the formula for future value with annual compounding?FV = PV × (1 + r)^n, where r is the annual rate and n is the number of years, so each year's interest also earns interest.

What does the semistrong form of the efficient market hypothesis claim?Prices reflect all publicly available information, so analysis of public data alone should not consistently produce abnormal returns.

How is the current ratio calculated?Current assets divided by current liabilities, because it measures whether short-term assets can cover short-term obligations.

What does bond duration measure?The approximate percentage change in a bond's price for a given change in yield, so a higher duration means greater price sensitivity.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl reads the text and turns it into cards.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know fade to longer gaps, so review time goes where it helps most.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Check yourself with multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions that include explanations, or map out how topics connect.

How it works

Upload your readings

Add the PDF, slides, notes or page photos you are studying from.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each card and edit anything that does not match your course material.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in short daily sessions and let spaced repetition decide when each card returns.

Start with the sections that have the most formulas and definitions, then add cards as you find gaps during practice questions. Because the deck is built from your own pages, you can update it whenever your materials change.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for each CFA topic?

Start with the formulas, definitions and standards in each reading, which often means a few dozen cards per study session rather than the whole curriculum at once. Add more cards as practice questions show you where you are weak.

What is the best way to review CFA material with flashcards?

Review cards in short daily sessions and rate how hard each one was, so spaced repetition brings difficult items back sooner. Pair the cards with practice questions for calculation-heavy topics so you can apply what you memorized.

Can I export my CFA les flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan costs $39/year or $7.99/month and includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with unlimited generations.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
