Turn your own notes into a free practice test
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get questions with explanations you can study in your browser. The free plan includes 3 generations a month.
How a free test maker fits into studying
Many students who need a free test maker want a quiz on the material they actually have to learn, not a generic template. Upload your lecture slides or chapter notes and DeckOwl writes questions from that text, each with an explanation.
- Questions are generated from your own files, not a shared template bank.
- Each answer includes an explanation you can review.
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, and no credit card is needed to start.
- Exports are paid features: PDF and DOCX on Plus, QTI and Moodle XML on Pro.
Multiple choice, true/false, short answer
Pick the question style that fits your test. Every question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.
Built from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.
Study for free in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and browser study. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV start on Plus.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX, text file or a photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the test.
Practice and review
Answer each question, read the explanation and repeat the ones you missed.
Printing is where the free plan stops. If you need a printable test, the free plan covers studying in the browser only, while PDF and DOCX export come with Plus at $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for teachers who run tests in a learning management system.
A practical routine is to generate a short test after each lesson, mark what you missed, then regenerate from the same notes a few days later to check whether you still recall it.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice test on electric circuits include?
Ten to twenty questions usually cover one lesson well. Mix calculation questions with conceptual ones so you practice both applying formulas and explaining why a circuit behaves as it does.
How do I study Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws for a circuits exam?
Solve the same problem twice, once for a series circuit and once for a parallel one, and check that the current and voltage add up at every junction. Writing the units next to each value catches many common errors.
Is the free plan enough to test myself?
It works for occasional practice, since you get 3 generations a month and can study in the browser with no credit card needed to start. Heavier use is better suited to Plus, which offers unlimited generations.
Can I export a test to PDF or Moodle?
Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro.
