Get a history quiz built from your own class material
Skip the guesswork of a shared channel. Upload your history readings, slides or notes and DeckOwl writes multiple choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation.
Why a quiz built from your own history notes works better
A channel quiz tests someone else's selection of facts, while a history quiz built from your own lecture slides covers what your teacher is likely to ask. Upload the readings or notes you already have and DeckOwl writes questions from them, with an explanation for each answer.
- Questions drawn only from the files you upload
- Multiple choice, true/false and open questions in one set
- Explanations that show why each answer is correct
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month, and no credit card is needed to start
Multiple choice, true/false and open questions
Mix question types in one quiz so you practice recognizing dates and leaders as well as explaining causes in your own words.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer shows you why an event happened, not just what the date was.
Built from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text notes or photos of pages, and the quiz stays on the content your course actually covers.
How it works
Upload your history material
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Choose your question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions to match the format of your test.
Study and retake
Take the quiz in the browser, read the explanations, and retake missed questions a few days later.
Mix the question types so you practice more than recall. Multiple choice checks whether you can identify a date or leader, true/false catches common misconceptions, and short answer questions make you explain causes and consequences. Retaking the quiz after a few days helps the details stick.

Frequently asked questions
Can DeckOwl pull questions from a Telegram channel?
No. DeckOwl works from files you upload, including PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, and photos of pages read with text recognition.
How should I study history dates and causes for a quiz?
Group events by cause and consequence instead of memorizing dates in isolation, then test yourself on how the events connect. Spreading your review over several days works better than one long cramming session.
How many questions should a history unit quiz cover?
Aim for at least one question on each major event, person and cause in the unit, weighted toward the topics your teacher emphasized. Retake the missed questions until you can explain them without looking at the notes.
Can I export a history quiz?
Export to PDF and DOCX is included in the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro. The free plan lets you take quizzes in the browser.
