Making Surgent CPA flashcards from your own material

Your course materials already contain the rules, formulas and definitions you need to memorize. Surgent CPA flashcards work best when they come from those exact pages, so the cards match what you will be tested on in your own review plan.

Cards are built from the PDFs, slides and notes you upload
Spaced repetition schedules reviews around the cards you miss
Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for paid users

Example CPA exam flashcards for FAR and AUD

What is the economic order quantity (EOQ) formula?EOQ = square root of (2DS / H), where D is annual demand, S is the cost per order and H is the annual holding cost per unit.

What are the five steps of revenue recognition under ASC 606?Identify the contract, identify performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the price to obligations, and recognize revenue when each obligation is satisfied.

In audit sampling, what happens to required sample size when tolerable misstatement decreases?Sample size increases, because a smaller tolerable misstatement leaves less room for error and requires more evidence.

What is the current ratio?Current assets divided by current liabilities. It measures a company's ability to cover short-term obligations.

Under ASC 842, what makes a lease a finance lease?Any one criterion is enough, such as transfer of ownership, a reasonably certain purchase option, a lease term covering most of the asset's economic life, or payments worth substantially all of the asset's fair value.

Spaced repetition built in

Export when you need to

How it works

Add your material

Upload the chapter PDFs, slide decks or notes from your course. Paste text if that is easier.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl reads the material and writes flashcards with a question on the front and the answer on the back.

Review on a schedule

Study in the browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you find difficult.

Upload a chapter, a slide deck or a set of handwritten notes photographed with your phone, and DeckOwl turns the key points into question and answer cards. You can then split large topics into smaller decks so each review session stays manageable.

Because the cards are generated from your own files, you can keep the set focused on the sections you are preparing for, such as FAR, AUD, REG or BAR, and update it as your materials change.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for each CPA section?

Start with the topics you are least sure of and make one card per testable rule, formula or definition. Smaller decks are easier to review every day, so split large chapters into several sets.

Should I study flashcards or practice questions for the CPA exam?

Flashcards are best for memorizing definitions, formulas and rules, while practice questions build the judgment the exam tests. Use DeckOwl quizzes alongside your flashcards to check application as well as recall.

Can I export my CPA flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the Free plan lets you study in the browser with three generations per month.

Does DeckOwl include spaced repetition?

Spaced repetition is included with the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Students can get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
