Why build your own GRE flashcards from official files

Official ETS practice PDFs hold the vocabulary and question types the GRE actually tests, but they rarely come as GRE official flashcards you can drill from directly.

  • Vocabulary terms with plain-language definitions
  • Quant formulas with the conditions for using them
  • Question stems paired with the answer and the reasoning
  • Cards grouped by section so you can drill one at a time
Example GRE vocabulary and math flashcards
Verbal: What does "laconic" mean?Using very few words; brief and to the point.
Quantitative: What is the area of a triangle?One half times base times height.
Quantitative: What is the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon?720 degrees, from (6 − 2) × 180.
Verbal: What does "obfuscate" mean?To make something unclear or harder to understand.
Analytical Writing: What is the score range for the GRE Analytical Writing section?0 to 6, in half-point steps.

How it works

Upload your ETS material

Add a practice PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page.

Generate and check

Review the flashcards and edit any that miss the point of the question.

Study on a schedule

Spaced repetition brings each card back as you start to forget it.

Making cards by hand from a practice test takes time, and it is easy to copy whole sentences instead of testing yourself. An AI generator pulls out the terms, formulas and question stems, and you check each one against the source.

Spaced repetition then does the scheduling, so vocabulary and quant rules you keep missing show up more often than the ones you already know.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GRE vocabulary?

Start with the words from one practice section and add more as you go. Spaced repetition will bring back the ones you miss, so you do not need a fixed target.

What GRE topics work best as flashcards?

Vocabulary, geometry and arithmetic rules, and the definitions behind Analytical Writing terms all work well as cards. Reading passages and long problem sets are better practiced as full question sets.

Is DeckOwl free to use for GRE prep?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting cards is a paid feature, and the Plus plan includes unlimited generations.
