How to make a quiz for students from your own material

Teachers and tutors who need how to make a Quizizz-style quiz for students usually already have the content: a lecture deck, a reading or a set of notes. The fastest route is to start from that material instead of writing every question by hand.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the quiz is built from what you actually studied.

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer

Every question comes with an explanation, so students learn why an answer is right, not just which one it is.

Export when you need it

Plus adds PDF and DOCX export. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your learning management system.

How it works

Add your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of a page.

Choose question types

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

Study or share

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus.

Upload the file, pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, and review the output before students see it. Each item includes an explanation, which turns a quick check into a short lesson for anyone who missed it.

Quizizz is a separate product, and DeckOwl does not run live game sessions. It produces the question set itself: students can practice in the browser, or you can export the questions to PDF or DOCX for printing, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz for students include?

Short review quizzes work well at 10 to 15 questions, which most students can finish in one sitting. For exam prep, split a long chapter into several shorter quizzes so each one covers a single section.

How should students use quiz explanations?

Students should read the explanation for every missed question before retrying it, then write the correct reasoning in their own words. Retaking the quiz a day or two later shows what actually stuck.

Can I export the quiz for printing or my LMS?

Export is a paid feature: PDF and DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Does DeckOwl make live, game-style quizzes?

No, DeckOwl creates question sets and study quizzes rather than live game sessions. Use them for self-paced practice, or export them to a platform that runs live games.
