Turn your state capitals notes into a geography quiz
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, each with an explanation.
Why build the quiz from your own material
A geography quiz on US state capitals works best when it covers the states your class or exam actually uses. If you have a handout, slide deck or your own notes, DeckOwl turns that material into questions instead of a generic list.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats
- Explanations for every question
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, study in the browser
- PDF and DOCX export on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a capitals table and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions.
Explanations on every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong pick between Pierre and Bismarck teaches you why South Dakota's capital is Pierre.
Study in the browser or export
Free accounts study in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works

If you were hoping for a printable quiz ready to hand out, the quickest route is to generate one from your own handout and export it as a PDF on the Plus plan. The free plan lets you take the quiz in the browser at no cost.
Each question includes an explanation, which helps with the states people mix up, such as Albany and New York City. Start without a credit card and focus the quiz on the regions you struggle with most.
