Sharing a Gimkit kit versus building a quiz from your notes

Whether you can make a Gimkit kit public depends on Gimkit's sharing settings, which DeckOwl does not control.

Sharing a Gimkit kit is controlled by Gimkit, not DeckOwl.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study.
Plus costs $39/year or $7.99/month and adds unlimited generations plus PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation so you learn why an answer is right.

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro. The free plan studies in the browser.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text notes or a photo of a page.

Pick a question type

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions for the set.

Study or export

Review the quiz in your browser, or export it on a paid plan.

Gimkit kits and DeckOwl quizzes are separate tools, so changing a kit's visibility will not change anything here. What DeckOwl does well is turn lecture slides or a textbook chapter into questions with explanations you can review.

Start with the material you already have, generate a set, and check each question against the source before studying. Reviewing explanations, not just right or wrong marks, makes the practice more useful.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a U.S. history quiz cover for one unit?

Aim for enough questions to cover the unit's key dates, people and causes, then add a few on how events connect. Questions that ask why something happened usually teach more than date recall alone.

How should I study a quiz on the Missouri Compromise or other history topics?

Answer each question from memory first, then read the explanation before checking your notes. Revisit missed questions a day or two later, since spaced review helps the answers stick.

Can I share my DeckOwl quiz with classmates?

Sharing with classmates is not a listed feature. Exports to PDF or DOCX are on the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML export is on Pro.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Exporting requires Plus or Pro.
