Why generate your own SAT reading flashcards

Plenty of printable SAT reading flashcards circulate online, but they rarely match the passages you will actually see on test day. A deck built from your own practice material keeps the vocabulary, topics and question wording tied to the sections you are working on.

Turn practice passages into vocabulary-in-context cards
Make one card per question type, with the reasoning on the back
Review missed cards more often through spaced repetition
Keep a separate deck for each practice test you take

Example SAT reading flashcards

What does 'inference' mean on the SAT reading section?A conclusion the passage strongly supports, even though the author does not state it directly.

What is a 'main idea' question asking for?The central point the whole passage develops, not a single detail from one paragraph.

What does 'tone' describe in a reading passage?The author's attitude toward the subject, such as skeptical, admiring or neutral, shown through word choice.

What is a 'command of evidence' question?A question asking which line or sentence best supports the answer to the previous question.

What does 'vocabulary in context' ask you to do?Choose the meaning of a word as the author uses it in that sentence, since the common meaning may not fit.

Generate the full set

Works from your own passages

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. The AI reads the text and writes cards from the material you are studying.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further out, so review time goes to the reading skills that need work.

Study in the browser

Review on a laptop or phone with no install. The free plan covers browser study with 3 generations per month.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a practice passage, a PDF of a test section or photos of your notes.

Check the cards

Read through the generated flashcards and edit any answer that does not match the passage.

Review daily

Study a short set each day and let spaced repetition schedule the cards you find hard.

Build cards for each question type you miss, such as main idea, inference, tone and command of evidence. Put the reasoning on the back of each card, not just the letter of the answer, so the card teaches the method and not only the result.

Frequently asked questions

How many SAT reading flashcards should I study in one session?

Short sessions of about 15 to 25 new cards tend to work better than long cram sessions, because spaced review does much of the reinforcing. Add more cards once the earlier ones feel routine.

Which SAT reading skills should my flashcards cover?

Cover vocabulary in context, main idea, inference, tone, and command of evidence, since these match the kinds of questions the section asks. Write the reasoning for each answer on the back of the card.

Can I export SAT reading flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. The Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, along with unlimited generations.
