Drafting a quiz from your own material, not a blank form

Need a Google Forms quiz creator that starts from your own slides instead of an empty form? For most people the slow part is writing the questions, not setting up the form. DeckOwl drafts multiple-choice, true/false or open questions from the files you upload, and each one comes with an explanation you can check before using it.

Example Google Forms quiz settings to know

Which setting turns a Google Forms form into a graded quiz?'Make this a quiz', found under Settings > Quizzes. Without it, Forms does not show answer keys or point values.

Where do you set the correct answer for a question in a Google Forms quiz?In the question's 'Answer key' option, where you also set its point value. Forms uses this key to grade responses automatically.

When can a Google Forms quiz show learners their score?Under 'Release grade' in Quiz settings, either right after each submission or later after review. Later is useful when some answers need manual grading.

What does 'Go to section based on answer' do in a Google Forms quiz?It sends each respondent to a different section depending on the answer they chose. This lets you build branching review paths for wrong answers.

Can Google Forms grade a short-answer question automatically?Yes, if you add an answer key with accepted responses; otherwise it needs manual grading. Exact-match keys can miss correct wording, so check responses.

Generate the full set

Questions from your files

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page, then choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions.

Explanations on every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches something instead of just scoring zero.

Export when you need it

Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning systems.

How it works

Upload your material

Add slides, a PDF, a Word file or a photo of your notes.

Pick the question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and how many you want to draft.

Review and export

Check each question and explanation, then study in the browser or export the set.

Once the questions are right, you can study them in the browser on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month. Paid plans export PDF and DOCX files, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, so you can move the set into the tools your class already uses.

If you still want the form itself, copy the reviewed questions into Google Forms and turn on the quiz settings there. The quiz stays tied to the material you actually covered.
