Create practice tests from your own notes with an AI test generator
Upload a PDF, a slide deck, a DOCX file, plain notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl writes questions with explanations you can study from right away.
Why an AI test generator saves time for exam prep
Teachers and students often have a stack of slides or a chapter PDF and only a few evenings to prepare. Writing a fair set of questions by hand takes longer than most people have, so an AI test generator can produce a first draft from the material you already have. You still decide what matters, but you start from questions instead of a blank page.
- Upload your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files or notes instead of searching for a generic test.
- Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions in one practice test.
- Read a short explanation for each answer to see why you missed a question.
- Start free with no credit card, then export to PDF or DOCX on Plus or to QTI and Moodle XML on Pro.
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from the same source material, so you can test recall and understanding.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so missed questions become lessons.
Export when you need it
Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, or combine them in one test.
Review and study
Check the generated questions and explanations, then work through the test in the browser.
The most useful tests mix question types and explain their answers. Multiple-choice items check recognition, true/false items catch common misconceptions, and short answer questions make you explain a idea in your own words. Reading the explanation after each miss is where most of the learning happens, so review those as carefully as the score.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a Newton's laws practice test include?
A practice test of 10 to 15 questions covers all three laws without becoming tiring. Include at least one question per law and a few applied problems that use F = ma.
What kinds of questions work best for studying Newton's laws?
Conceptual questions about inertia, net force and paired forces build intuition better than memorized definitions alone. Short answer problems that ask you to explain or calculate a situation are useful for checking whether you can apply the laws.
Can I export a generated test?
Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
