How to use flashcards for PMP certification prep

Studying for the PMP means memorizing formulas, process groups, risk response strategies and terminology that appear in slightly different wording across sources. Many candidates build PMP certification flashcards from the material they already have, which keeps the cards aligned with the version of the content they will be tested on.

  • Turn PMBOK Guide excerpts and course slides into cards in one upload
  • Drill formulas like EV, PV, AC and the performance indexes with a clear back-of-card answer
  • Keep a separate deck for each knowledge area or performance domain you are studying
  • Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you want cards on another device or app
Example PMP flashcards from the PMBOK Guide
What does a CPI below 1.0 indicate?The project is over budget, because earned value is less than actual cost for the work completed.
What are the five process groups in the PMBOK Guide?Initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing.
What is the formula for schedule performance index (SPI)?SPI = EV / PV. A value below 1.0 means the project is behind schedule.
Which negative risk response shifts the impact and ownership to a third party?Transfer, such as buying insurance or contracting a vendor to take on the risk.
What is a project charter?A document issued by the sponsor that formally authorizes the project and gives the project manager authority to apply resources.

Built from your own material

Upload your PMBOK excerpts, prep course slides, class notes or photos of your textbook pages. Flashcards come from the content you actually need to know.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and the ones you know spread out over time, so your review sessions focus on what is still shaky before exam day.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export so you can print a set or move cards into the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages. Image text is read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the questions and answers against your source, and edit or delete any card that does not match what your course teaches.

Study on a schedule

Work through the daily review queue. Missed cards return more often until they stick.

A useful card set for the PMP covers one idea per card. Write the term or formula on the front and the answer with a short reason on the back. Cards for earned value, such as CPI and SPI, are easier to retain when you also note what a result above or below 1.0 means for the project.

Review in short, frequent sessions rather than one long cram. Spaced repetition does this scheduling for you, so the cards you keep missing come back before the cards you already know well.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for the PMP?

There is no fixed number. Start with the terms, formulas and process groups you find hardest, usually a few dozen cards per study session, and add more as you work through your materials.

What should a PMP flashcard answer include?

Keep the answer short and specific, such as the formula or the name of the process. Add one sentence of reasoning when the answer depends on context, like what a CPI below 1.0 means for budget.

Is the free plan enough to study with?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study with spaced repetition. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on Plus, which is $39/year or $7.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can create an account and generate your first set of flashcards without a credit card.
