How to use GRE vocabulary flashcards with a prep list

Long GRE word lists from a prep course are hard to memorize by reading them through once. Turning them into GRE vocabulary flashcards gives you a prompt for each word and forces you to recall the definition from memory, which is the step that makes it stick. Upload the PDF, slide or photo of your list and DeckOwl builds the cards for you.

  • Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or a photo of a printed word list
  • Cards are scheduled with spaced repetition so review focuses on weak words
  • Study in the browser on the free plan with no credit card needed to start
  • Export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV on Plus if you want cards in another app

Works from your own list

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a printed list, and the cards are built from the words you actually need to learn.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Words you miss come back sooner, and words you know move to longer gaps, so each study session targets your weak spots.

Study anywhere

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV when you want your cards in another app.

How it works

Upload your list

Add the PDF, slides, notes or photo that contains your GRE vocabulary words.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl reads the text, including text in photos, and creates a flashcard for each term and definition.

Study and review

Work through the deck and let spaced repetition bring back the words you have not yet locked in.

Spaced repetition handles the scheduling. Words you miss come back sooner, and words you know drop out of the rotation, so you are not spending time on terms you have already mastered. Vocabulary work for the GRE rewards frequent, short reviews more than one long cramming session.

Frequently asked questions

How many GRE vocabulary words should I study each day?

A small daily batch you review consistently works better than cramming a long list the night before the test. Adjust the amount to your timeline and how quickly you recall the words.

What is the best way to remember GRE vocabulary long-term?

Pair each word with a definition you recall from memory and, where possible, a short example sentence. Review it on a spaced schedule so you revisit it just before you would forget it.

Is there a free way to try DeckOwl?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.

Can I export my GRE flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included with the Plus plan, which also adds PDF, DOCX and CSV export and unlimited generations. Plus costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
