How to build CompTIA flashcards from your own material

Many people searching for CompTIA flashcards want a ready-made printable deck, but generic decks rarely match the exam objectives or the version of the test you are sitting. DeckOwl builds CompTIA flashcards from your own material, so each card follows the chapters, slides or notes your course actually uses.

Port numbers and protocols, such as which port SNMP agents use
Acronyms and what they stand for, such as the CIA triad
Scenario terms that look similar, such as threat and vulnerability
Hardware and RAID concepts from A+ and Network+ chapters

Example CompTIA flashcards for A+, Network+ and Security+

Which port does HTTPS use by default?443 over TCP.

What does the CIA triad stand for in Security+?Confidentiality, integrity and availability.

What is a honeypot?A decoy system set up to attract attackers so their methods can be studied.

Which RAID level mirrors data across two drives?RAID 1, mirroring.

What is the default SNMP port for agent requests?UDP 161. Traps are sent to UDP 162.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the cards are drawn from what your course actually covers.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back more often, so review time goes to the terms you are most likely to forget.

Export on Plus

The Plus plan exports to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV, so your CompTIA cards can move into the tools you already use.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add the slides, PDF chapter or notes for your CompTIA course.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards and remove or edit any that do not match your objectives.

Study with spaced repetition

Review each session in the browser and let the schedule focus on the cards you keep missing.

Upload a PDF, a DOCX, a PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and the app returns flashcards you can study in the browser. Spaced repetition then brings back the terms you keep missing, which helps with the port numbers, acronyms and scenario-based distinctions that CompTIA exams test.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a CompTIA exam?

There is no fixed number that works for everyone. Build sets by exam domain rather than by total count, then review the domain you find weakest most often.

Should I memorize acronyms or understand the concepts behind them?

Understand the concept first, then memorize the acronym. CompTIA questions often describe a scenario and ask which term fits, so the reasoning matters as much as the name.

Can I export my CompTIA flashcards to Anki?

Yes, the Plus plan includes export to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month, without adding a credit card.
