Turn your notes into a free quiz for studying, not live polling
DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations from your PDFs, slides or notes. It is built for self-study, so it does not run live audience voting.
Practice quizzes for poll and survey topics
Writing a quiz about polling methods is different from running a live vote, and most students need practice questions on sampling, wording and margin of error. A free quiz poll maker helps with that job by turning your own course material into questions you can answer on your own schedule.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation
- Built from your PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
- Free plan with three generations per month, studied in the browser
- Paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, plus QTI and Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page, and get questions drawn from that content.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question comes with an explanation so you learn why an answer is right.
Study in the browser
The free plan lets you take quizzes in your browser with three generations per month and no credit card.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add the reading, lecture slides or notes you need to be tested on about polls and surveys.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a quiz from your own material.
Answer and review
Take the quiz, read the explanations for any misses, and generate another round when you need more practice.
The free plan includes three generations per month and browser study, but it does not include exports. Plus costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month and adds unlimited generations, PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and spaced repetition. Pro costs $14.99 per month and adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a neutral poll question for a survey?
Ask one thing per question, avoid loaded words such as 'Don't you agree that', and give balanced answer options that cover the full range of likely views.
How large should a poll sample be?
It depends on the margin of error you need. About 1,000 randomly selected respondents gives roughly plus or minus 3 percentage points at 95 percent confidence for a single percentage.
Can I run a live poll with DeckOwl?
No. DeckOwl creates study quizzes you take in the browser and does not host live audience voting.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes, the free plan gives you three generations per month and browser study with no credit card. Exporting files requires a paid plan.
