Quiz from your material

Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so a missed place teaches you why the answer is right.

Study and export

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Upload your map notes

Add a PDF, slides or notes that list the countries, regions or landmarks you need to know.

Choose the question type

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

Quiz yourself and review

Answer from the list, read the explanations for misses and repeat weak places until they stick.

A quiz built from your own course material tends to match what you will be tested on better than a generic set. Start with multiple-choice questions on one region, then switch to short answer once the names feel familiar.

Frequently asked questions

How many places should a map quiz include?

Most people start with 10 to 20 labeled places, such as countries or capitals in one region, and add more once those are reliable. Smaller sets make it easier to see which places you miss.

What is the best way to study map quiz answers?

Name the places from a blank map before checking your answers, then review the misses in short sessions spread over several days. Spacing your review keeps the names in memory longer.

Can I export a map quiz from DeckOwl?

Exports are paid features: PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No credit card is needed to start, and the free plan includes 3 generations per month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
