How to make a Google Form quiz from your own material

Many people looking for a Google Form quiz maker want the same thing: a short quiz on this week's material without spending an evening writing it. The hard part is rarely the form itself. It is writing clear questions, wrong answers that test real understanding, and a sentence explaining each correct answer.

Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes and photographed pages
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation
Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed
Plus and Pro add exports for PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML

Example Google Forms quiz setup questions

In Google Forms, which setting turns a form into a graded quiz?Open the Settings tab and switch on Make this a quiz, because grading needs that toggle enabled.

Which question types in Google Forms can be auto-graded against an answer key?Multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown and short answer can be auto-graded, because each has a set answer to match. Paragraph questions need manual grading.

Where do you add feedback that students see after answering a Google Forms question?In that question's answer key, choose Add answer feedback, because feedback can be set separately for correct and incorrect responses.

What does the Release grade setting control in a Google Forms quiz?It controls when students see their score and missed questions, such as right after submitting or only after you review responses, because you may want to check results first.

Why should each wrong option in a multiple-choice question be plausible?Plausible distractors test real understanding, because obviously wrong choices let students guess without knowing the material.

Generate the full set

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX, plain notes or a photo of a page. The AI drafts multiple-choice, true/false and open questions drawn from that text.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so students see why an option is right or wrong before moving on.

Exports when you need them

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro. The free plan keeps quizzes in the browser.

How it works

Upload your source

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

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and how many questions you want.

Review, then copy or export

Check each question, edit anything off, then paste the set into a form or export it on a paid plan.

DeckOwl is an AI quiz generator, not a Google Forms add-on. It reads your own material and drafts the questions, which you then review. Copy the finished set into a new form, using the PDF or DOCX export as a clean source to paste from on Plus.

For best results, upload the actual lecture slides or chapter pages rather than a summary. A focused section produces more precise questions than a whole semester crammed into one file.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on one lecture have?

Eight to twelve questions cover a single lecture well and fit a short sitting. Mix recall questions with a few that ask students to apply an idea.

Should a quiz use multiple choice or short answer questions?

Use multiple choice for quick checks of facts and definitions, and short answer for explaining reasoning. Most quizzes work best with a mix of both.

Can DeckOwl put questions directly into Google Forms?

No. DeckOwl does not connect to Google Forms, so you copy reviewed questions across. Exports are PDF and DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
