Built from your own prep material

Upload a PDF of your prep book, a slide deck from a review course, or photos of handwritten notes. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so your review time goes to the words and rules you are still shaky on.

Study in the browser

Review on a laptop or phone without installing anything. The free plan covers browser study with 3 generations per month.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or photos of pages from your GRE prep book or notes.

Generate the cards

DeckOwl turns the material into flashcards. Check the fronts and backs and edit anything that looks off.

Review on a schedule

Study a short session each day. Spaced repetition decides what shows up next based on how well you recalled each card.

Verbal cards work best when the front is a word in a sentence and the back gives the meaning plus a near-synonym. Quant cards work best when the front is a rule or a question type and the back shows the step that matters. Cards made from your own practice sets also cover the exact patterns you miss.

Keep each card to one idea. A card that asks for three definitions at once is hard to grade honestly, and a card with the answer buried in a paragraph is easy to skip.

Frequently asked questions

How many GRE vocabulary flashcards should I study each day?

Many test-prep plans start with 20 to 30 new cards a day and add reviews on top. Keep sessions short and steady, since spaced repetition works better with daily practice than with long weekend cram sessions.

What should a GRE Quant flashcard cover?

Good quant cards cover formulas, number properties, and question patterns such as Quantitative Comparison. The back should show the key step or the reasoning, not just the final answer.

Can I export my GRE flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Plus costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
