Why a custom geography quiz works better than a generic one

Generic lists of geography questions rarely match what your teacher covers, so a geography quiz built from your own material is more useful. Upload your notes, slides or handouts and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question types
Explanations for every answer, including the ones you got right
Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
PDF and DOCX export on Plus, with QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Generate the full set

Three question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions cover recall and reasoning, so you can check both facts and understanding.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer shows you exactly what to review instead of just marking it wrong.

Works from the files you already have

Use PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

How it works

Upload your material

Add your geography notes, slides or readings as a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, then generate the quiz.

Take the quiz and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations and retake the questions you missed.

Because every question comes from your source, the quiz reflects your course's place names, dates and terms rather than a general set of facts. Retake the quiz, read the explanations for anything you missed, and move the hard items into flashcards with spaced repetition.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a geography quiz have?

A set of 10 to 20 questions covers one chapter or unit well and is quick to repeat. If your notes are short, start with fewer questions and generate more once you have covered the material.

How do I study geography for a test on map skills?

Label blank maps from memory, then check your answers against the source. Short-answer questions that ask why a feature is where it is build understanding better than memorizing names alone.

Can I export a geography quiz to PDF?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month with study in the browser only, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.
