Making an AI quiz from your own material

Learning how to make AI quizzes starts with your own material. Upload a PDF, slides, plain notes or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation.

Upload the chapter or lecture you are studying, not a generic topic.
Mix multiple-choice with short answer questions to test recall, not just recognition.
Read the explanation after each answer, especially for the ones you missed.
Retake the quiz a few days later to check what you remember.

Example French greetings and phrases quiz questions

How do you say good morning in French?Bonjour. It works from morning until early evening, so it covers most daytime greetings.

True or false: Salut is the right greeting for a stranger in a shop.False. Salut is informal, so save it for friends and peers; use Bonjour with strangers.

What is the French for thank you very much?Merci beaucoup. Beaucoup means a lot, so it intensifies merci.

How do you ask How are you? formally in French?Comment allez-vous? The vous form is the polite choice with strangers, elders and in professional settings.

What do you say when leaving someone, meaning see you soon?À bientôt. Bientôt means soon, so it signals you expect to see the person again shortly.
