Turn your own history notes into an advanced history quiz
Skip the generic ready-made quizzes. Upload your course readings, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions that test cause, consequence and context, each with an explanation.
Why generate your own advanced history quiz
Most ready-made history quizzes test dates and names, but an advanced course asks you to explain why events happened and how they connected. DeckOwl builds an advanced history quiz from the readings and slides you already have, so the questions match what your instructor covers.
- Questions drawn from your own course reading, not generic trivia
- Explanations that show why the correct answer holds, useful for essay-style exam prep
- Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card
- Students get 40% off with a school email
Multiple choice, true/false and open questions
Mix question types drawn from your own history material, and check each answer against its explanation.
Works with your own material
Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages, which are read with text recognition.
Export when you need it
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a chapter, lecture slides, notes or photos of a textbook page.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions at the difficulty your course expects.
Study and export
Take the quiz in your browser, then export it if you are on a paid plan.
Each question comes with an explanation of the correct answer, which helps you see the reasoning behind it. That matters for essay exams, where you need to weigh causes and evidence rather than recall a single fact.
You can start with the free plan, which gives 3 generations per month, and move to Plus or Pro when you need unlimited quizzes or exports.
