Turn your CFA Level 2 notes into flashcards with AI
Ready-made PDF decks rarely match your syllabus. Upload your own readings, slides or notes and DeckOwl writes the cards, then study them in the browser or export a PDF on Plus.
Why a custom deck beats a generic CFA Level 2 PDF
Most CFA Level 2 flashcard PDFs are ready-made decks built from someone else's readings, so they rarely match your own syllabus or practice questions. If you want CFA Level 2 flashcards PDF that follow your materials, start with the notes, slides or readings you already have. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text and photos of pages, then turns them into cards you can review in the browser.
- Formula cards that show the equation and the conditions where it applies
- Ethics cards that pair each Standard with a short example of a violation
- Short-answer cards for explaining why a result changes when an input moves
- Review sessions that focus on the cards you answered wrong most often
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text or photos of pages. The cards come from the readings and notes you already use for Level 2.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so weak formulas and topics keep appearing until they stick.
PDF and Anki export
Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can print a deck or load it into Anki.
How it works
Upload your materials
Add the Level 2 readings, lecture slides or handwritten notes as a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl creates flashcards from your content. Review them and remove any that do not fit.
Study or export
Study in the browser with spaced repetition. Export a PDF or Anki file on Plus when you want a printable copy.
Level 2 rewards formula use and vignette reasoning, so cards work best when the front asks you to apply something and the back gives the formula along with when to use it. Spaced repetition brings back the topics you keep missing, which helps across the exam's many topic areas.

Frequently asked questions
How should I use flashcards to study for CFA Level 2?
Make cards from your own readings and practice questions, and write fronts as prompts you have to solve rather than simple definitions. Review them daily in short sessions so spaced repetition can schedule the topics you miss.
Which CFA Level 2 topics benefit most from flashcards?
Formula-heavy areas such as derivatives, fixed income and financial reporting and analysis tend to benefit most, along with the wording of ethics Standards. Cards for case-style reasoning work best when the back explains the steps, not only the final answer.
Can I export my CFA Level 2 flashcards as a PDF?
PDF export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The Free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
