Why build your own CompTIA deck

Your CompTIA objectives change between exam versions, so a CompTIA Anki deck built from your own slides and textbook chapters stays closer to what your exam covers than a generic download. Upload the files you already study from and DeckOwl turns them into flashcards you can review with spaced repetition.

Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes and images of pages.
Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss more often.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month, studied in the browser.
Plus adds Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export for $39/year or $7.99/month.

Example CompTIA Security+ flashcards

What is the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?Symmetric encryption uses one shared key and is fast for bulk data; asymmetric uses a public and private key pair, which simplifies key distribution but is slower.

What is a honeypot?A decoy system set up to attract attackers so their activity can be observed, without holding real data.

What is a DMZ in network design?A network segment for public-facing servers, separated from the internal network by firewalls.

What is the difference between RTO and RPO?RTO is the maximum acceptable time to restore a service after an outage; RPO is the maximum acceptable amount of data loss, measured in time.

What does the principle of least privilege mean?Users and processes get only the access their tasks require, and nothing more.

PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes and photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

How it works

Upload your study material

Add your course slides, textbook chapter PDFs, notes or photos of pages.

Review the generated cards

Delete vague cards, fix any wording and add cards for topics you find hard.

Study or export

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki with Plus.

Good CompTIA cards are short: one term, one port number, one attack type, or one contrast between two similar concepts. After generating the deck, remove anything vague and add cards for weak areas, then keep sessions short and daily so review stays consistent.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for CompTIA Security+?

Focus on one exam objective at a time and keep each card to a single fact or concept. A card that needs a full paragraph to answer usually works better split into two.

Which CompTIA topics suit flashcards best?

Acronyms, port numbers, attack types and pairs of similar terms, such as RTO and RPO, are strong candidates. Scenario-based questions are better practiced with quizzes.

Can I export my CompTIA deck to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month, and students get 40% off Plus with a school email.
