Turn your notes into multiple choice questions with explanations
DeckOwl reads your PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations you can check against your material.
How a ChatGPT multiple choice questions generator fits into studying
Writing good multiple choice questions takes time, and a ChatGPT multiple choice questions generator can handle the first draft so you spend your effort on checking accuracy. DeckOwl works from the files you already have, which keeps the questions tied to your course instead of general knowledge.
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer question types
- Explanations that state why the correct answer is right
- Questions drawn from PDFs, slides, notes and photographed pages
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus, plus QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Built from your material
Questions come from the pages you upload, so the quiz covers your course readings and lecture slides rather than generic trivia.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation of why the correct option is right, so wrong answers become study moments.
Study in the browser
Take quizzes online on the free plan, and move to Plus or Pro when you need exports for an LMS or a printed review sheet.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads scanned pages.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and set how many questions you want.
Review and practice
Read the explanations, retake the quiz, and reuse the questions until the material sticks.
Strong questions need plausible wrong answers, a single clearly correct option and an explanation that names the concept being tested. Review each generated question before you rely on it, and delete any that test a detail your instructor did not emphasize.
Once you have a set, practice it in short sessions spread over several days. Missed questions are the ones to revisit, and the explanations show which idea to reread.

Frequently asked questions
How many multiple choice questions should I write for one chapter?
Most chapters work well with 10 to 20 questions that cover the main terms, processes and cause-and-effect relationships. Quality matters more than volume, so remove any question that tests a minor detail.
What makes a good wrong answer on a multiple choice question?
A good distractor is plausible for someone who has partly learned the topic, such as a term from the same unit or a common misconception. Avoid options that are obviously false or that give away the answer by length or wording.
Can I export the questions to Moodle or QTI?
Yes, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are available on Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
Is there a free plan, and does it need a credit card?
The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, with no exports. You do not need a credit card to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
