Turn your class notes into an AI-written practice test
Upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a page. DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Why use an AI study test maker
Writing a practice test from a week of lecture slides can take hours, so an AI study test maker can produce the first draft in minutes. You still decide what to study; the tool handles the drafting.
- Generate questions from your own PDFs, slides or notes.
- Check your understanding with explanations for each correct answer.
- Study in the browser on the free plan, with no credit card needed to start.
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from the same material, so you can test recall in more than one way.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.
Works from your own material
Questions are built from the files you upload, so the quiz matches what your instructor actually covered.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Study and review
Work through the questions in the browser and review the explanations for anything you missed.
Practice questions help most when you answer them before you look at your notes again. Mixing multiple-choice with short answer questions shows whether you can recognize an idea or explain it in your own words.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study the French Revolution with practice questions?
Answer the questions from memory first, then check the explanations for any you missed. Repeat the missed ones later in the week, since spacing out review tends to stick better than one long session.
What makes a good practice question for the French Revolution?
A good question asks about a specific event, date, document or person and has one clearly correct answer. Short answer questions that ask why something happened are useful for checking deeper understanding.
Can I export my quiz?
Exporting is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
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.
