Turn your notes into concept map questions with AI
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, or photo of your notes. DeckOwl drafts quiz questions with explanations and an explorable mind map of how the ideas link.
Why concept map questions work for studying
Concept map questions push you past memorizing single terms and ask how ideas relate, such as how one process supplies inputs to the next. Answering them forces you to recall the link, not just the label.
- Pull questions directly from your own lecture slides or notes.
- Mix multiple choice with short answer so you practice recall as well as recognition.
- Check each explanation to see why the correct link works.
- Edit the mind map so it reflects your course, not a generic outline.

Generate questions and a map
DeckOwl drafts quiz questions and a mind map from the same material.
Test and revise
Answer the questions, then edit the map so it matches what your course covers.
If you want a ready-made printable set, DeckOwl does not keep a library of them. It builds custom questions from the material you already have, so the wording and coverage match your own lectures and readings.
A useful routine is to answer the questions first, check the explanations, then compare your answers with the mind map. Gaps show up quickly, and you can edit the map to fill them in.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should I write for a concept map on photosynthesis?
Start with 10 to 15 questions covering the light-dependent reactions, the Calvin cycle, and the inputs and outputs of each stage. Then add a few that ask how the two stages connect through ATP and NADPH.
What makes a good concept map question?
A good one asks about a relationship between two ideas, not a single definition. For example, ask what happens to the oxygen produced by the light-dependent reactions rather than just naming the reaction.
Can I export concept map questions to Anki?
Anki export is a paid feature included in the Plus plan, which is $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start.
