How to create a quiz from your own material

Most quiz apps start with a blank editor, so you type every question yourself. If you already have lecture slides or reading notes, how to create a quiz from them is faster when the AI reads the source file and drafts questions from it. DeckOwl does that: upload the file, pick question types and check the results before you study.

Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages.
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Example Spanish present-tense verb quiz questions

Conjugate hablar for nosotros in the present tense.hablamos. Drop -ar and add -amos, the regular nosotros ending for -ar verbs.

Complete the sentence: Ellos ___ (comer) pan.comen. Comer is a regular -er verb, and the ellos ending for -er verbs is -en.

True or false: tener is regular in the yo form.False. The yo form is tengo, because tener adds -go to the stem before the ending.

Conjugate ir for tú in the present tense.vas. Ir is irregular, so memorize vas rather than applying the regular -ar ending.

Conjugate pedir for ellos, with the e to i stem change.piden. The stem changes from e to i in every form except nosotros and vosotros.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I write for Spanish present-tense verbs?

Start with a short set that covers regular -ar, -er and -ir verbs, then add stem-changing and irregular verbs once the basics feel steady. Mixing verb types in one quiz makes you recall each ending rather than memorize a single pattern.

What should a Spanish present-tense quiz test besides conjugation?

Include subject pronouns and which verb forms match each pronoun, plus common irregular verbs like ser, estar, tener and ir. Short answer questions where you type the conjugation build recall better than true/false questions.

Can I export an AI-generated quiz to my school's LMS?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. The Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
