Free quizzes for students, made from your own notes
Skip generic question banks. Upload your PDF, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, in minutes.
Why a quiz on your own material beats a generic bank
Before you sign up for one of the many free quiz websites for students, check whether it quizzes you on the material in your own course. Most of these sites host generic question banks, which can be useful for warm-ups but rarely match your lecture slides or textbook chapter.
- Questions match the chapter, lecture or slide deck you are tested on.
- Each answer comes with an explanation, not just a right or wrong mark.
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser, with no exports.
- Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export; Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Quizzes from your own material
Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages and get questions based on that content.
Three question formats
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation so wrong answers teach something.
Study in the browser for free
The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and no credit card is needed to start.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain text notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.
Check answers and retake
Read the explanation for each item, then retake missed questions until they stick.
DeckOwl takes the other route: upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page, and it writes multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations from that content. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV require Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export require Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I do in one session?
Aim for 10 to 20 questions, then review every explanation, including the ones you got right. Short sessions repeated across several days tend to work better than one long cram.
What makes a good practice question for studying?
A good question asks you to apply or explain an idea, not just recognize a term. Wrong options in multiple choice should be plausible mistakes a classmate might make.
Is DeckOwl free to use?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX or Anki requires Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML require Pro.
Can I export quizzes to Moodle?
Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. Plus, at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
