Why build your own formula deck

Printable GRE formula flashcards are a quick start, but a generic sheet rarely covers the formulas your own prep book or course emphasizes. Cards made from your material keep you focused on what you will actually see.

Cards come from your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos
Spaced repetition schedules reviews around what you forget
Edit any generated card before you study it
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study

Example GRE formula flashcards for quant

Area of a circle with radius r?πr², where r is the radius of the circle.

Slope of a line through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?(y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1), the change in y divided by the change in x.

Pythagorean theorem?a² + b² = c² for a right triangle, where c is the hypotenuse.

Arithmetic mean of a set of numbers?The sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are.

Percent change from an old value to a new value?(new − old) / old × 100, which gives the change relative to the starting value.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. The formulas come from the pages you are studying, not a generic list.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know fade into longer gaps, so formulas stay in memory until test day.

Works from images

Photograph a formula sheet or textbook page and the text is read with recognition, so handwritten or printed notes can become cards.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photos of your GRE math pages.

Review the generated cards

Check each formula card, edit anything that does not match your course, and keep the ones you want.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser each day. Spaced repetition brings back the formulas you are most likely to forget.

Start with the quantitative formulas you use most, such as area, slope, percent change and averages. Write each card as a question you could answer from memory, then check the back against your notes.

Mix formula cards with practice problems so you learn when to apply each one, not only how it is written.

Frequently asked questions

How many GRE formulas should I memorize before test day?

Aim to know the formulas you use across the quantitative section well enough to apply them without looking. Most students focus on a core set and practice applying them to problems rather than memorizing a long list.

How should I study formulas for the GRE quantitative section?

Pair each formula with a problem that needs it, and explain to yourself why it applies. Rereading the formula alone is less effective than solving questions that force you to recall it.

Can I export my formula flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month.

Is there a free plan to try DeckOwl?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
