Why build your own question set

Teachers and students often want a Gimkit Fishtopia question set that matches what was covered in class, and a generic set rarely does that. The most useful questions come from the exact slides, readings or notes you were given.

  • Questions follow the terms and facts in your own notes or slides.
  • Every question has an explanation, so missed answers become study notes.
  • Mix multiple choice, true/false and open questions in one session.
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
Example review questions for a Fishtopia round
Why should you explain a missed question in your own words?Restating the idea forces recall, which is what turns a wrong answer into a memory you can use later.
What is the advantage of answering before checking your notes?Attempting recall first strengthens memory more than rereading, even when the attempt is wrong.
Why review missed questions on a spaced schedule?Spacing review over days makes it harder to forget, while repeating everything in one sitting fades quickly.
What should you do with a question you got right by guessing?Treat it as missed and read the explanation, because a lucky guess does not show you understand the idea.
Why do explanations matter more than the correct letter?The explanation shows the reasoning behind the answer, which transfers to new questions on the same topic.

Built from your material

Questions come from the PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photographed pages you upload, not from a generic bank.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right one is correct.

Study in the browser or export

Practice online on the free plan. Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of your pages. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, or a mix of all three.

Practice and review

Answer, read the explanations, and revisit missed questions before your next round.

DeckOwl works from your own material. Upload the file, choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and each one comes with an explanation. You can then practice in the browser or export the set when you need it outside the app.

Because the questions are tied to your own content, reviewing a missed one points you straight back to the part of the lesson you need to reread.

Frequently asked questions

What should I study before a Fishtopia round?

Start with the terms and facts your teacher emphasized, then add the ones you keep missing in practice. Reviewing those weak spots first usually makes the biggest difference.

What is the best way to study for a live quiz game?

Answer each question from memory before checking your notes, then come back to the ones you missed. Short, regular sessions help more than one long cram session.

Can I export my questions?

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

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start without a credit card. The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
