Frequently asked questions
How often should I quiz myself on a topic?
Short sessions spread over several days work better than one long cram. Retrying questions you missed after a day or two helps the material stick.
What is the best way to study with practice questions?
Answer each question before checking the explanation, then write down why the wrong choices were wrong. Return to the missed questions later in the week.
Can DeckOwl give me Gimkit for free?
No. DeckOwl does not provide access to Gimkit or any other app, but the free plan creates quizzes from your own notes with 3 AI generations per month.
Do I have to pay to export my quiz?
Yes. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro.
