Why your own GRE material makes better practice cards

Most GRE decks are built from someone else's word list, so they drill terms your prep course never assigned. If you want GRE practice flashcards that match the exact formulas, vocabulary and passages in front of you, start with the material you already have.

  • Upload the prep book chapter you are working through this week
  • Keep Quant formulas and Verbal vocabulary in separate decks
  • Review missed cards first, then add new material
  • Export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan if you want to study elsewhere
Example GRE Quant and Verbal flashcards
Quant: What is the sum of the first n positive integers?n(n+1)/2
Quant: What does the Pythagorean theorem state for a right triangle?a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle.
Verbal: What does obsequious mean?Excessively eager to please or obey, often in a servile way.
Verbal: What does ameliorate mean?To make something bad better or more tolerable.
AWA: What scale is used to score each GRE Analytical Writing essay?0 to 6, in half-point increments, with each essay scored by readers and the final score averaged.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages. Cards come from the content you are actually studying.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to the gaps.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or a mind map of the Quant and Verbal topics.

How it works

Upload your prep material

Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.

Generate your flashcards

DeckOwl creates question-and-answer cards from the text it reads in your upload.

Review on a schedule

Study in the browser each day. Spaced repetition decides which cards come back next.

Cards made from your own notes or practice set tend to reflect the errors you actually make. A missed quadratic identity or a vocabulary word from a passage you got wrong can become a card the same day you see it.

Pair the cards with a short daily session and spaced repetition does the scheduling. Review what you missed, skip what you already know, and rerun the set with a fresh generation once you cover a new chapter.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GRE vocabulary?

Start with the words from one chapter or word list, usually 20 to 50 cards, so you can review them in a few short sessions. Add more once your recall is steady.

How often should I review GRE flashcards?

Short daily sessions work better than long weekly ones. Spaced repetition handles the timing, so you mostly need to show up and answer each card honestly.

Can I export my GRE flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan ($99.90/year or $9.99/month), which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The Free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan for GRE practice?

The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Students get 40% off a paid plan with a school email.
