How GREVocab Works
A free flashcard app with 1000+ GRE words and a smart scheduler that helps you study just the right words at the right time. Your progress is saved automatically — sign in with Google to sync across devices.
Getting started is easy
Step 1: Study
Flip flashcards, read definitions and real-world examples, then add your own memory tricks to make words stick.
Step 2: Rate yourself
After seeing the answer, tell us how well you knew it: Nope, Got it, or Too Easy. Be honest — it helps the system help you.
Step 3: Come back tomorrow
Our smart scheduler figures out the perfect time to show each word again — right before you'd forget it.
Understanding your progress
Every word moves through 4 stages as you study it. Progress is tracked automatically — no manual logging needed:
New
Haven't studied yet
Learning
Just started — comes back soon
Reviewing
Getting familiar — intervals are growing
Mastered
You know it well! Recalled 3+ times correctly
What do the rating buttons mean?
After you see a word's definition, rate how well you knew it:
Didn't know it at all. The word will come back very soon.
Knew it! Next review will be in a few days.
Knew it instantly. Next review pushed further out.
You can also press 1 2 3 on your keyboard instead of clicking.
