Two ways to make a quiz in Google Forms

If you need to make a quiz in Google Forms for a class, the manual route works: create a blank form, open Settings, switch on the quiz option, and add each question with its correct answer and point value.

Generate questions from your own notes, slides or textbook chapters
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer formats
Read an explanation for every answer, right or wrong
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or QTI and Moodle XML on Pro

How it works

Add your material

Upload your PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.

Review and study

Check each question and explanation, edit anything that is off, and quiz yourself in the browser.

Typing every question by hand takes time, especially when the questions come from a chapter you already have as a PDF or slide deck. DeckOwl reads that file and drafts the questions and explanations for you, so you spend your time checking the content rather than writing it from scratch.

Start with the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export, and Pro adds a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a practice quiz have?

Ten to twenty questions is a workable range for one topic. That is enough to cover the main ideas and short enough to finish in one sitting.

Why do explanations matter in a quiz?

An explanation shows why the correct answer is right and why the distractors are wrong. Reviewing those reasons after a missed question tends to help more than just seeing the score.

Is it free to try DeckOwl?

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

Do I have to pay to export a quiz?

Yes, exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export is on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export is on Pro.
