How to build quizzes from your own material

If you are comparing an AI quiz maker by Jotform with other tools, the key question is whether the quiz comes from your own material. DeckOwl builds questions from the PDFs, slides or notes you upload, so the quiz matches the chapter in front of you.

Quizzes generated from your own PDFs, slides, notes and page photos
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
Explanations that show why each answer is correct or incorrect
Exports to PDF and DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Example biology quiz questions for practice

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, because oxidative phosphorylation in its inner membrane generates most of the cell's ATP.

True or false: osmosis moves water toward the side with higher solute concentration.True. Water moves across a membrane toward the side with higher solute concentration, which has lower water potential.

In DNA, which base pairs with adenine?Thymine, because adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds across the double helix.

Which phase of mitosis separates sister chromatids?Anaphase, because spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids toward opposite poles of the cell.

How does an enzyme speed up a reaction?It lowers the activation energy by providing an alternative pathway, and it is not consumed by the reaction.

Generate the full set

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Generate the question types you need from the same material, so you can mix recognition and recall in one study session.

An explanation for every answer

Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so a missed question becomes something you learn from rather than a number you forget.

Exports on paid plans

Plus exports PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan studies in the browser without exports.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a page that text recognition can read.

Choose your question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and generate a quiz built from what your course actually covers.

Practice or export

Work through the quiz in your browser, or export it on a paid plan to share with a class or import into Moodle.

Explanations matter more than the score. When you miss a question, the explanation shows which idea you misunderstood, so you can return to that page of your notes instead of guessing again on the next attempt.

If you teach or tutor, Plus exports to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems. Students can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I make from one chapter?

Most chapters work well with 10 to 20 questions that mix multiple choice and true/false. Start with the sections you find hardest, then retake the questions you missed after a day.

How do quiz explanations help me study?

An explanation shows why the correct answer is right and why the wrong options fail, which turns a miss into a lesson. Reread the explanation, then answer the question again without looking at it.

Can I export my quizzes to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are on the Pro plan, and PDF and DOCX export are on Plus. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan?
