How the quiz generator works with your notes

A browser extension is not what DeckOwl is, since it runs as a web app you open in your browser. Its AI quiz generator works from the files you already have, reading PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain-text notes and photos of pages, then writing questions from the material itself.

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or a photo of a page.
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions.
Read an explanation for every answer, whether you got it right or wrong.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month; Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export.

Example cell biology quiz questions

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, because aerobic respiration there yields far more ATP per glucose than glycolysis alone.

Which organelle modifies, sorts and packages proteins for secretion?The Golgi apparatus, which packages proteins into vesicles for transport out of the cell.

True or false: plant cells lack a cell membrane.False, because plant cells have a cell membrane inside their cell wall.

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus, while prokaryotic cells keep their DNA in a nucleoid region without a nucleus.

What does osmosis describe?The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration.

Frequently asked questions

How many practice questions should I write for a chapter?

Start with 10 to 15 questions per chapter and focus on the terms and processes your instructor emphasized. Short quizzes you retake are usually more useful than one long test.

How should I study the questions I got wrong?

Reread the explanation, then retake those questions after a day or two instead of right away. Plus includes spaced repetition, which schedules review for flashcards made from the same material.

Is DeckOwl available as a browser extension?

No, DeckOwl is a web app you open in your browser rather than an extension you install. You can start on the free plan without a credit card.

Can I export quizzes to Moodle or QTI?

Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
