How to build GRE vocab flashcards for Anki

Learning GRE vocabulary goes better when each word is tied to a meaning you can recall under time pressure. GRE vocab flashcards for Anki let you do that with the lists you already have, instead of retyping them one card at a time.

Use your own vocab list or prep book chapter as the source, so the cards match your test prep.
Add a sample sentence to each card so you learn how the word is used, not only its definition.
Review daily in short sessions; spaced repetition brings back words just before you would forget them.
Export to Anki on Plus if you already keep your review routine there.

Frequently asked questions

How many vocab words should I study each day for the GRE?

There is no single right number. Most people do better with a steady daily amount they can keep up than with a large batch once a week. Spaced repetition brings back older words at the right time so new ones do not crowd them out.

Is memorizing word lists enough for GRE vocab?

Flashcards build recall, but the GRE tests words in context, so pair each card with an example sentence. Seeing a word used in a sentence makes it easier to match to the right meaning in reading questions.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month, without a credit card. Students get 40% off Plus with a school email.
