Study for any exam with AI flashcards built from your own notes
Upload lecture slides, PDFs, notes or photos of a textbook page and get flashcards you can review on a spaced repetition schedule before test day.
How to get ready for an exam with AI study tools
Three weeks before a midterm, the material piles up: lecture slides, a textbook chapter and a notebook of half-finished notes. AI exam study sets from DeckOwl turn that pile into flashcards and quizzes, so you spend your time practicing recall instead of rereading.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
- Flashcards and quizzes generated from the same material
- Spaced repetition schedules review for the weakest cards
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study
Flashcards from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or images and get flashcards built from what your instructor actually covered.
Quizzes with explanations
Practice with multiple choice, true or false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.
Mind maps for big topics
See how the chapters, terms and processes connect so you can answer the broad questions that show up on longer exams.
How it works
Upload your study material
Add the slides, readings or notes you expect to be tested on, or photograph a page and let text recognition read it.
Review your flashcards and quizzes
Study the generated cards in your browser and take quizzes to find the topics you still miss.
Come back on a spaced schedule
Spaced repetition brings each card back just before you are likely to forget it, so review time goes to the weakest material.
Practice questions work better than rereading because they force you to pull an answer out of memory. Mix flashcards with short quizzes, then check the explanations for every answer you missed, and revisit those topics over several days instead of in one long session.
If you use Anki or another spaced repetition app later, Plus lets you export your cards so you can keep reviewing after the exam is over.

Frequently asked questions
How should I study for a midterm exam?
Start with the terms and concepts your instructor emphasized in lectures and review slides. Practice recall with flashcards and short quizzes, then space your reviews over several days rather than cramming the night before.
What is the best way to memorize exam material?
Retrieval practice, where you answer questions from memory, beats rereading notes. Explaining each answer in your own words and revisiting missed items later makes the knowledge stick.
Can I export my exam flashcards?
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser without exporting.
Is there a free plan to try it on my own material?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students can also get 40% off Plus with a school email.
