How to build a Security+ deck from your own notes

Security+ SY0-701 covers five exam domains packed with acronyms, controls and attack types, so a good deck starts with your own course material. With DeckOwl you can create CompTIA Security+ 701 flashcards from the slides, textbook chapters and notes you already have, then move them into Anki if you prefer that app.

  • Cover all five SY0-701 domains rather than only the topics you find easy.
  • Keep one idea per card, such as a single attack type or control.
  • Review daily in short sessions, since spacing matters more than length.
  • Use practice quizzes alongside flashcards to test application, not just recall.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images so your course content becomes cards.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know are spaced further apart. This helps the acronyms and controls in Security+ stick.

Anki export on Plus

Plus exports your cards as Anki-ready files, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. Free plan users can study in the browser without exports.

How it works

Upload your study material

Add your Security+ SY0-701 slides, chapter PDFs, or notes. You can also upload photos of pages.

Generate and review cards

DeckOwl turns the material into flashcards. Review them in the browser with spaced repetition.

Export to Anki when you need it

On the Plus plan, export your deck to Anki and keep studying on any device you already use.

Flashcards work best when each card holds one term or concept. Check the generated cards against your lecture notes, delete anything vague, and keep answers short enough to recall in a few seconds. Spaced repetition then brings back the cards you miss more often than the ones you already know.

How many flashcards should I make for Security+ SY0-701?
