Why build GRE flashcards from your own material

Generic word lists cover a lot of ground, but the most useful GRE prep flashcards are the ones built from the words and formulas you actually missed on practice sets. Your own material keeps review focused on your gaps.

  • Vocabulary words you missed on practice sets
  • Quantitative formulas with the conditions where each one applies
  • Reading passage argument structures you want to recall quickly
  • Analytical writing outlines and common issue prompts
Example GRE vocabulary and math flashcards

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at increasing intervals, so words and formulas you find hard are reviewed more often.

Review on a schedule

Spaced repetition brings back the cards you miss more often, so practice time goes to what you need.

The GRE tests verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing, and each needs a different kind of recall. Vocabulary calls for quick definitions, math calls for formulas with the conditions that make them apply, and writing calls for outlines you can reproduce under time pressure.

Cards are most useful when they are reviewed in short, regular sessions. Spaced repetition handles the scheduling so you spend your time on recall rather than deciding what to study next.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for the GRE?

There is no fixed number that works for everyone. Start with the words and formulas you keep missing on practice tests, and add new cards as your review reveals new gaps.

What should GRE flashcards cover?

Focus on high-frequency vocabulary, quantitative formulas, and reasoning patterns that give you trouble. Write each card as a question so you practice recalling the answer rather than recognizing it.

Can I export my GRE flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month and includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Is there a free plan to try GRE flashcards?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
