Why a custom set beats a generic one

Ready-made Gimkit kits cover a lot of ground, but they rarely match the exact chapter, lecture or unit your class is working through. Questions written for a different textbook can drill the wrong terms and skip the ones on your test.

Questions match the exact lecture, chapter or slide deck you are reviewing.
Each answer includes an explanation, so wrong answers become teaching moments.
You can mix multiple choice, true/false and open questions in one review.
Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with study in the browser.

Example cell biology quiz questions

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP through cellular respiration?The mitochondrion. Its citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation generate most of the cell's ATP.

True or false: prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.False. Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, so their DNA sits in a region called the nucleoid.

What is the main function of ribosomes?Protein synthesis. Ribosomes translate mRNA into polypeptide chains.

Which structure controls what enters and leaves the cell?The cell membrane. Its phospholipid bilayer and embedded proteins regulate transport across the cell.

Why do plant cells have a cell wall that animal cells lack?The cell wall, made mainly of cellulose, gives structural support and helps prevent bursting in dilute water.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, slides, DOCX files, plain text or photos of pages, and get questions drawn from what you actually studied.

Three question types

Generate multiple choice, true/false or open questions, each with an explanation so students learn why an answer is right.

Export when you need it

Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, so you can move a set into the tools your class already uses.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set sized for your review session.

Review and reuse

Check the questions, edit anything that needs work, then study in the browser or export the set.

A set built from your own notes keeps the vocabulary and emphasis of your course. Teachers can cover the specific material from the week, and students can quiz themselves on the same slides they will be tested on.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a good review quiz have?

Most review sets work well at 15 to 30 questions, mixing recall items with a few that ask students to apply a concept. Shorter sets are easier to reteach from when students miss something.

How do I write wrong answers that actually help students learn?

Use plausible distractors, such as a common misconception from class or a term that is close but wrong. Keep answer options similar in length so the correct one does not stand out.

Can I move my quiz into Gimkit?

DeckOwl does not list a direct Gimkit import. Exports are a paid feature: PDF and DOCX are available on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are on Pro, so you may need to re-enter questions by hand.

Do I need a paid plan to try this?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
