Get a history quiz of the week from your own notes
Upload this week's slides, readings or notes and get a quiz with explanations built around what your class actually covered.
Why a custom quiz beats a generic one
Your teacher's lecture order and the chapters you read this week rarely match a published set of questions. A history quiz of the week made from your own material tests the names, dates and causes your class actually discussed, so the score tells you what to review.
- Questions drawn from the slides and readings you actually have
- Explanations for every answer, including the wrong choices
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats
- Printable PDF or DOCX export on the Plus plan
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages. Questions come from your readings and slides, not a generic question bank.
Multiple question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, and each one comes with an explanation of why the answer is right.
Study anywhere
Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.
How it works
Upload your material
Add this week's slides, reading or notes as a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo.
Choose a format
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions and set how many you want.
Review and study
Read the explanations, retake the questions you missed and export a printable copy when you need one.
A ready-made quiz also tends to skip the reasoning behind events. When DeckOwl builds questions from your notes, each explanation points back to the passage it came from, which makes it easier to see why an answer is right and where your understanding is thin.
Repeat the same quiz format each week and you can track which topics keep coming back wrong. Export the questions to Word or PDF for a study group, or keep practicing in the browser.
