Turn your CFA level one notes into flashcards with AI
Ready-made decks cover the broad material, but the cards that help most come from the readings and slides your own course assigns. Upload them and DeckOwl builds flashcards with spaced repetition.
Why build your own CFA Level I deck
Ready-made decks can cover the broad material, but the cards that help most with CFA level one flashcards come from your own readings, lecture slides and practice notes, where your weak spots actually show up.
- Formulas with the inputs and units spelled out
- Standards written as the requirement, not just the title
- Definitions paired with a worked example from your readings
- Cards for topics you miss on practice questions
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition, so a snapped textbook page works too.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so your study time goes to the formulas and standards you keep forgetting.
Study anywhere
The free plan lets you study in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for your own review routine.
How it works
Upload your material
Add your curriculum readings, lecture slides or notes as a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image.
Review the cards
Check the generated fronts and backs and edit anything that does not match your course materials.
Study on a schedule
Spaced repetition brings missed cards back more often until they stick.
The CFA Level I curriculum spans ethics, quantitative methods, economics, financial statement analysis and more. Cards tied to the exact readings your provider assigns keep your review aligned with what the exam tests.
Keep each card to one idea, then let spaced repetition schedule the review. Over several weeks, that routine tends to hold up better than rereading notes.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for CFA Level I?
Most candidates do better with focused sets per topic area than one giant deck. Start with the readings you find hardest and add cards as you finish each one.
What should a CFA Level I flashcard cover?
Good cards test one formula, one definition or one standard at a time, such as the inputs to a valuation model or the requirements of a specific ethics standard. Keep the back short so you can recall the idea in a few seconds.
Can I export these flashcards to Anki?
Yes, but export is a paid feature. Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export are included in Plus, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, while the free plan is limited to studying in the browser.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month without adding a card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
