How a Gimkit-style quiz maker works with your material

Teachers and students often want a Gimkit-style quiz maker that starts from the material they already have rather than a blank form. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes questions from that text.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question types
Every question includes an explanation of the correct answer

Example Newton's laws of motion quiz questions

What does Newton's first law say about an object at rest or moving at constant velocity?It stays that way unless a net external force acts on it, which is why passengers keep moving forward when a car stops suddenly.

A 2 kg cart accelerates at 3 m/s². What net force acts on it?6 N, because Newton's second law states F = ma, so force equals mass times acceleration.

True or false: when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with an equal and opposite force.True. Newton's third law says forces come in pairs acting on different objects, so you feel the wall's push even though the wall does not move.

Why can a rocket accelerate in a vacuum where there is no air to push against?It pushes exhaust gases backward, and the gases push the rocket forward with an equal and opposite force, so air is not needed.

What is the difference between mass and weight in Newton's second law?Mass is the amount of matter in kilograms and resists acceleration, while weight is the gravitational force on that mass (W = mg), measured in newtons.

Questions from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page and get questions drawn from that text.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question includes an explanation, so the wrong options teach something too.

Study now or export later

Study in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page.

Generate the quiz

DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, each with an explanation.

Check and study

Compare the questions and explanations with your source, then study in the browser or export if your plan includes it.

Because each question comes from your own source, a chapter on Newton's laws produces questions about that chapter rather than generic physics. Check each explanation against your notes before relying on it, especially for short answer questions.

Study in the browser on the free plan, which includes 5 generations a week. The Plus plan adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while Pro adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

How should I split my notes when making a quiz for a physics unit?

Start with one section at a time so each quiz covers a single idea, such as the second law, and its explanations are easy to check against your notes.

How do I study Newton's laws of motion with practice questions?

Answer each question before reading the explanation, then restate the reason for the correct answer in your own words to test whether you understand why it works.
