Practicing without the live game code

Waiting on a Gimkit game code from a teacher can stall a study session before it begins. DeckOwl doesn't host live games or join codes, but it can build a practice quiz from the same notes or slides your class is reviewing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I study for a live review game in class?

Start by writing down the key terms and definitions from the lesson, then quiz yourself on them without looking at your notes. Repeat the questions you missed until you can answer each one from memory.

How many practice questions should I make from one chapter?

Twenty to thirty questions per chapter is a practical range for a focused session. Mixing multiple-choice and short answer questions helps you check both recognition and recall.

Can I export my quiz?

Exporting to PDF, DOCX and Anki is available on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
