Turn any GRE word list into flashcards you can study today
Printable sets cover someone else's vocabulary. DeckOwl builds flashcards from the exact words your class, book or prep course gave you.
Why build your own GRE word list flashcards
Printable GRE word list flashcards are easy to find, but a generic 500-word set rarely matches the words in your prep book or the ones your instructor quizzes. Building cards from your own material keeps your review focused on what will appear in your practice tests.
- Keep one deck per source so a single textbook chapter does not get mixed with another list.
- Review new words for a few minutes each day rather than cramming a whole list the night before.
- Write a sentence using each word after you study it, then check it against the definition.
- Retire cards you know well, and keep the ones you keep missing in rotation.
Built from your own list
Upload a PDF, slide deck, typed notes or a photo of a vocab sheet and get cards for the words you actually need.
Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, so hard GRE words stick without rereading the whole list every night.
Definitions you can check
Each card pairs a word with its meaning drawn from your material, so you can correct anything before you study.
How it works
Upload your list
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of your GRE vocabulary notes.
Generate flashcards
DeckOwl turns each word and definition into a flashcard you can study in the browser.
Review on a schedule
Spaced repetition brings back the words you are struggling with first.
Start with the list you already have. Upload the PDF or notes, check the generated cards, and fix any definition that does not match your source. Then study in short daily sessions, since spaced repetition works better than one long cram before test day.
Free accounts can study cards in the browser. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can move your deck into another app or print it for a study group.

Frequently asked questions
How many words should I study per day for the GRE?
Most students do well with 10 to 20 new words a day, paired with review of earlier cards. Keep sessions short and consistent, because spaced repetition depends on regular reviews.
Should I memorize the word list or learn words in context?
Use both: flashcards help you recall definitions quickly, and reading sentences that use the words shows you how they are tested. Try writing your own example sentence for the hardest words.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports. Plus and Pro plans add exports and unlimited generations.
Can I export my GRE flashcards to Anki?
Anki export is available on the Plus and Pro plans. Plus costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and students with a school email get 40% off.
