Why build your own quiz instead of joining a game code

A gimkit kit join page is for entering a live game code, and DeckOwl does not host live games or let you join another person's session. What it does is turn your own class notes, slides or PDFs into a review quiz, so you practice the exact material your course covers.

Example biology practice questions for a review quiz

What is the main job of red blood cells?Carrying oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. Hemoglobin inside them binds oxygen and releases it where it is needed.

Frequently asked questions

Can DeckOwl host a live game where my class joins with a code?

No. DeckOwl generates quizzes for studying in the browser and does not run live join-code games. You can use the questions it creates for your own review.

How many questions should a review quiz have?

Twenty to thirty questions is a practical range for one study session, which keeps the review focused. Go through the set once, then retest only the questions you got wrong.

How do I study a quiz when I keep missing the same questions?

Read the explanation for each missed question before retrying it, and note the concept behind it. Retest those items on a later day, since spacing out practice tends to help recall more than cramming.

Can I export my quiz to Moodle?

Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
