How a geography quiz from your own maps works

Quizzing yourself on places works best when the questions come from the material you already study. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides or notes and writes a geography quiz from them, so the countries, rivers and cities in your class materials become multiple-choice or true/false questions, each with an explanation.

Multiple-choice questions on countries, capitals and physical features
True/false checks for facts like river lengths and climate zones
Explanations that tell you why the right answer is right
Free plan includes 3 generations per month, studied in the browser

Quiz and review

Answer each question, read the explanation, and retry the ones you missed.

Google Maps is good for exploring, but a quiz is more useful when it tests the places your class actually covered. DeckOwl does not pull questions from live Google Maps. It works from the text in your files, so a list of countries, rivers and capitals in your notes becomes questions you can answer from memory.

Photos of printed map pages are read with text recognition, so labels and captions can be turned into questions. Review the questions before a test, since the quiz is only as complete as the notes behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Does DeckOwl pull questions from Google Maps directly?

No. It builds questions from the text in your PDFs, slides, notes or photos of map pages. The places you studied are what gets tested.

How do I study countries and capitals for a geography test?

Try recalling each capital from memory before checking, and quiz yourself on a blank map where only the countries are labeled. Spacing your reviews across several days helps the names stick.

Can I export a geography quiz to use in class?

PDF and DOCX exports are included with Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
