Sign up for DeckOwl and turn your notes into student quizzes
DeckOwl is not Gimkit, but students can sign up free to turn PDFs, slides and notes into quizzes with explanations.
What students get when they sign up
A student who lands on a Gimkit sign-up for students page usually wants a way to join a classroom game without paying or waiting. DeckOwl does not host live games, so this page explains what we do offer instead.
- Free sign up with no credit card required
- 3 generations per month on the Free plan, with study in the browser
- Plus for unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX and Anki export
- 40% off Plus with a school email
Quizzes from your own material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations.
Flashcards that come back at the right time
Spaced repetition schedules each card so you review what you are about to forget, not what you already know.
Mind maps for the big picture
Turn the same notes into a mind map so you can see how topics connect before an exam.

Students with a school email get 40% off Plus, which is $99.90/year or $9.99/month and adds unlimited generations plus PDF, DOCX and Anki export.
If you are a teacher as well, the Pro plan at $14.99/month adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export so quizzes can move into your learning management system.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gimkit the same as DeckOwl?
No. DeckOwl is a separate AI study tool that builds quizzes, flashcards and mind maps from your own material, and it does not run Gimkit games.
How do I review quiz explanations so the answers stick?
Read the explanation right after each wrong answer, then retake those questions a day or two later. Spacing the repeat is what moves facts into long-term memory.
How many practice questions should I answer in one session?
Most students do well with 15 to 25 mixed questions per session, followed by a short break before reviewing the ones they missed.
Can students export quizzes for free?
Exports are paid features. Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month includes PDF, DOCX and Anki export, and students with a school email get 40% off.
