Why generate your own GRE vocabulary cards

Many test takers search for GRE 500 vocabulary flashcards because a ready-made deck is quick to start. The catch is that a generic deck rarely matches the exact words in the book you are using, and it cannot show you which of those words you keep missing.

  • Cards come from the exact pages of your own book or notes
  • Spaced repetition prioritizes the words you keep missing
  • Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition
  • Paid plans export to Anki or CSV for use on other devices
Example GRE vocabulary flashcards
AbateTo lessen in intensity or amount; to subside.
LaconicUsing very few words; concise to the point of seeming curt.
ObfuscateTo make something unclear or harder to understand on purpose.
SanguineCheerfully optimistic, especially about a difficult situation.
TenuousWeak or flimsy; based on thin evidence or a fragile connection.

Built from your pages

Upload a PDF, slides, notes, or a photo of a word list and get flashcards drawn from your own material.

Spaced repetition

Words you miss come back sooner, and words you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to the hardest ones.

Study in the browser

The free plan lets you study on any device with a browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV are on paid plans.

How it works

Upload your word list

Add the PDF, scan, or photo of the vocabulary pages you are working through.

Review the generated cards

Check the terms and definitions, then remove or edit any card that needs fixing.

Study on a schedule

Run daily sessions so the spaced repetition system brings back the words you are about to forget.

A better route is to start from your own material. Upload the Kaplan word lists or chapter pages you already have, and DeckOwl creates one flashcard per term with the definition on the back. You then review the set with spaced repetition, so the cards you struggle with come up more often.

Vocabulary sticks best when you see words in context and repeat them over several weeks. Pair the cards with a short daily session, and mark any word you cannot define without looking. Those are the cards to focus on next.

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should I study each day?

There is no single right number. Set a daily amount you can finish without rushing, and spread the full list over the weeks before your test date rather than cramming it in at the end.

What is the most effective way to memorize GRE vocabulary?

Review the word and try to recall its meaning before flipping the card. Writing or saying a sample sentence with each new word helps it stick better than reading definitions alone.

Is DeckOwl free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki, or CSV requires the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Do students get a discount?

Students get 40% off with a school email address, and no credit card is needed to start on the free plan.
