How to get more from a practice test

A good practice test maker should work from the material you already have, not from generic questions. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations so you can see exactly where you went wrong.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats in one set
  • Explanations for every answer, not just a score
  • Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
  • Plus adds PDF and DOCX export; Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML
Example Shakespeare's Macbeth practice questions
Which figures first tell Macbeth he will become king hereafter?The three witches on the heath in Act 1, Scene 3. Their prophecy plants the ambition that drives the rest of the play.
True or false: Lady Macbeth calls on spirits to unsex her before Duncan arrives.True. In Act 1, Scene 5 she asks to be filled with cruelty, which shows how far she is willing to go.
Why does Duncan give Macbeth the title of Thane of Cawdor?The previous Thane of Cawdor was executed for treason, and Macbeth's bravery in battle earns the title. The reward fulfills the first prophecy and makes Macbeth trust the witches.
What does Macbeth see just before he goes to kill Duncan?A dagger floating in the air, leading him toward the king's chamber. The vision shows his guilt and his doubt before the murder.
Who does Macbeth hire to kill Banquo and Fleance?Two murderers, in Act 3, Scene 1 and Scene 3. Using hired killers lets Macbeth order the deaths without doing the act himself, though the plan is not fully successful.

Three question formats

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions come from the same material, so you can test recall and application.

Explanations on every answer

Each question includes an explanation of the correct answer, so a wrong guess becomes something you can learn from.

Built from your own material

Questions come from your lecture slides, readings and notes rather than a generic question bank.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose your question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.

Answer, review and retake

Work through the questions, read each explanation, and retake the ones you missed before your exam.

Practice tests work best when you answer them cold, then read every explanation, including the ones you got right. Retake missed questions a day or two later rather than cramming them the night before the exam.
