Why build your own GRE vocabulary set

Many students searching for sixth edition word lists want a ready-made set, but a fixed list only covers the words its authors chose. Your practice tests, reading passages and class notes will bring up others. GRE vocabulary flashcards made from your own material keep the review focused on the words you are actually meeting, and the cards can be updated as your list grows.

  • Upload the exact word list from your study material instead of a generic set.
  • Review missed cards more often than cards you already know.
  • Check each card's answer against the context in your notes.
  • Export to Anki or CSV on a paid plan if you already use another app.

Built from your word list

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page. The text is read and turned into flashcards for the words you actually need.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so review time goes to the words that still need work.

Study anywhere

Study in your browser on the free plan. Paid plans add export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV so you can keep studying in other apps.

How it works

Add your vocabulary source

Upload the PDF, slide deck, notes or page photos that contain your sixth edition word list.

Generate flashcards

DeckOwl creates front-and-back cards from the terms and definitions in your material.

Review on a schedule

Study the cards in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the words you miss.

A custom set also makes it easier to check your understanding. When a card's answer is in your own notes, you can see the context the word appeared in, which helps with words that have more than one meaning. Spaced repetition then handles the scheduling, so you are not re-reading the whole list each session.

Start with one unit or one chapter, review it for a few sessions, and add more when the first set feels comfortable. Small, regular sessions usually work better than long cramming sessions before a test date.

Frequently asked questions

How many new vocabulary words should I learn each day for the GRE?

There is no single right number, because it depends on your test date and how much time you have. Many students add a modest batch of new words and spend more time reviewing older ones than learning new ones.

How should I review GRE vocabulary flashcards?

Review a small set each day, say the definition aloud before you flip the card, and write example sentences for words you miss. Revisit weak cards often and let stronger ones come back less frequently.

Can I export my vocabulary flashcards?

Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on the Plus plan. The free plan lets you study the cards in the browser without exporting them.

Do I need a credit card to start?

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