Why build GRE flashcards from your own material

Pre-made decks rarely match the exact word lists, formulas and practice problems in your own prep plan. GRE flashcards made from your own books, notes and practice explanations keep your review focused on what you actually need to learn.

Upload vocabulary lists, quant notes or practice explanations as PDFs, slides or photos.
Review generated cards before studying so errors do not get memorized.
Use spaced repetition to revisit weak words and formulas more often.
Keep a separate deck for each section, such as verbal, quantitative and writing.

Example GRE verbal and quant flashcards

AbscondTo leave hurriedly and secretly, often to avoid arrest or a debt.

Percent increase formula(New value − original value) ÷ original value × 100.

OstensibleApparent or outwardly shown, which may not match the true situation.

Area of a triangleOne-half × base × height, with the height measured perpendicular to the base.

MitigateTo lessen the severity or harm of something.

Generate the full set

Works from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain-text notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images too.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart, so review time goes to what you still need.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of the topic.

How it works

Upload your prep material

Add a PDF, a document, your notes or a photo of a page from your GRE study materials.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl creates question-and-answer cards from the content. Review them and keep the ones that fit.

Study in the browser

Start a spaced repetition session. The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and paid plans add exports to Anki and CSV.

Good GRE cards are short and specific. A word should have a clear definition and a usage cue, and a math rule should show the formula with one worked example. Writing cards this way takes time, so letting AI draft them from your sources lets you spend that time reviewing and correcting them.

Check every generated card against your source before you rely on it. Remove duplicates, fix any wording that drifts from the original, and add cards for anything the generator missed.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for the GRE?

There is no fixed number. Most students make a deck for each section and add cards only for words and formulas they miss on practice questions. Keep each card to one idea so it is quick to review.

What GRE topics work best as flashcards?

Vocabulary, math formulas and rules, and common question types such as percent change work well because they have short, checkable answers. Reading passages and essay structure are better learned through practice questions.

Can I export my GRE flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature. The Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and it starts at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Is there a free plan for GRE flashcards?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports. No credit card is needed to start.
