Why build your own history quiz

Most ready-made lists of history quiz questions and answers on UK general knowledge are written for a general audience, so they rarely match the dates, figures and people in your course. DeckOwl works the other way round: you supply the material and it writes questions with correct answers and short explanations taken from that text.

Multiple choice, true or false, and open questions
Explanations for every answer
Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text and photos of pages

Generate the full set

Questions from your own material

Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX or notes, or photograph a page, and get multiple-choice, true or false, or open questions drawn from that text.

Explanations on every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right one is correct.

Export when you need it

The free plan studies in the browser. Plus exports PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your learning management system.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, DOCX, plain text or a photo of a page.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true or false, or open questions.

Check answers and explanations

Review the generated questions, then study them in the browser or export them.

Upload a lecture PDF, a set of slides or your typed notes and the quiz follows what your teacher covered. Check the answers before you rely on them, because the generator reads only what you give it, and any gaps in your notes will show up as gaps in the quiz.

Frequently asked questions

Which UK history topics are worth testing in a general knowledge quiz?

Common choices include the Tudors, the Industrial Revolution, the two World Wars and the Acts of Union 1707. Pick the ones your course covers, then check dates and names against a textbook before you quiz yourself.

How should I study history quiz questions so I remember them?

Answer from memory first, then read the explanation, and repeat the questions you missed after a day or two. Spaced reviews work better than rereading the same list in one sitting.

Yes, PDF and DOCX export is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Can I import the quiz into my learning management system?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Students with a school email get 40% off any paid plan.
