Why an IB biology quiz works better when it comes from your own notes

Most students preparing for IB Biology end up with a pile of past-paper questions and no quick way to see which topics are weak. An IB biology quiz built from your own class notes, slides and textbook chapters closes that gap, because every question tests what you were actually taught.

  • Questions drawn from your own notes, slides and past handouts
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short-answer formats in one set
  • An explanation attached to every question for review
  • Study in the browser on the free plan, with exports on paid plans
Example IB Biology practice questions
Why does the Calvin cycle need ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions?It uses them to reduce carbon dioxide into sugar. ATP supplies energy and NADPH supplies the electrons needed for that reduction.
In a monohybrid cross of two heterozygous parents (Aa x Aa), what proportion of offspring are homozygous recessive?One in four (aa). Each parent passes the recessive allele with probability one half, so both pass it with probability one quarter.
True or false: enzymes are used up in the reactions they catalyse.False. Enzymes are not consumed, so one enzyme molecule can catalyse many reactions in turn.
What does the sodium-potassium pump do in animal cells?It actively moves three sodium ions out and two potassium ions in for each ATP hydrolysed, which maintains the resting membrane potential.
In eukaryotic cells, where does the Krebs cycle take place?In the mitochondrial matrix. The electron transport chain that follows is located on the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Questions from your own material

Every question comes from the PDFs, slides, DOCX files or photographed pages you upload, so the quiz follows your teacher's syllabus rather than a generic question bank.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson on the topic.

Export when you need it

Plus adds PDF and DOCX export for printing or sharing. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for teachers who run quizzes in a learning management system.

How it works

Upload your notes

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

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a set on the topic you are revising, such as photosynthesis or genetics.

Work through the quiz

Answer in the browser, read the explanation for each question, and return to the missed ones later.

If you were hoping for a ready-made printable quiz, those rarely match your teacher's unit order or the command terms used in your assessments. Generating one from your own material gives you a set that fits the topics you are studying this week.

Work through one topic at a time, such as cell respiration or ecology, then mix topics in a later session. Reading the explanation after each wrong answer, and retrying that question a day later, tends to help the correction stick.

Frequently asked questions

How should I structure an IB biology quiz session?

Start with one syllabus topic, such as enzymes or DNA replication, and keep the set short enough to finish in one sitting. Mixing topics in a later session makes you retrieve material from memory, which is harder and more useful.

What should I do after getting an IB biology question wrong?

Read the explanation first, then write the correct idea in your own words. Try that question again a day or two later to check that the correction has stuck.

Can I export a quiz to Moodle or QTI?

Yes. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99 per month, while PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month.

Can I try DeckOwl before paying?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
