Build a practice exam that matches what you studied

Teachers and students often need a practice test that matches what was actually covered in class. DeckOwl works as a multiple choice exam maker that reads your own material and drafts the questions for you. You upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page, and the tool writes multiple choice, true/false or open questions with explanations.

  • Questions drawn only from the text you upload
  • Explanations for every correct and incorrect option
  • Editable drafts so you can remove weak questions
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions

How many multiple choice questions should a practice exam have?

There is no fixed rule, but a set long enough to cover each major topic a few times usually works better than one long test. Start with a shorter set and add questions on the topics you keep missing.

What makes a good multiple choice question on an exam?

A good question has one clearly correct answer, plausible wrong options and a stem that tests understanding rather than trivia. Read every option before choosing, because a wrong answer often looks right at first glance.

The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exporting to PDF or DOCX requires a paid plan, and students get 40% off with a school email.
