Basic quiz practice built from your own material

Most review sessions start with the same problem: the questions are generic and do not match what your class covered. A basic Gimkit-style quiz is only useful if it uses your terms, your examples and your level of detail. DeckOwl does not run live games, but it builds the questions directly from your files, so the quiz follows your course rather than a template.

Questions are generated from your own files, not a fixed question bank.
Multiple choice, true/false and short-answer formats with explanations.
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card to start.
Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a basic quiz have?

Five to ten questions per topic is enough for a quick check. Start with the core terms from one lecture, then add harder items once those feel easy.

How should I review after getting questions wrong?

Reread the explanation, then answer the same question again a few days later without looking. Spacing the retries over several days works better than repeating them all at once.

Can I use these questions in a live game?

DeckOwl does not run live games. The free plan lets you study in the browser, and Plus adds PDF and DOCX export for printing.

Is there a free way to try it?

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