Make HSC practice exams from your own notes and PDFs
Upload your PDFs, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, ready to study in the browser or export.
Practice exams built from your own HSC material
An HSC exam generator is most useful when the practice paper matches what you actually studied. Ready-made printed papers are fine for a quick look, but they cannot cover your own dot points, teacher handouts or the topics your class covered this term. DeckOwl builds a custom set of questions from the notes you already have, so your revision lines up with your course.
- Questions drawn from your own notes and slides
- Explanations for every answer, right or wrong
- Photos of pages read with text recognition
- No credit card needed to start on the free plan
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why rather than just marking it wrong.
Built from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages read with text recognition.
Study in the browser or export
The free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a page.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.
Work through it and review
Answer each question, read the explanation, and retry the ones you missed.
Start with the topics you find hardest rather than the ones you already know. Work through the set, then read the explanation for every answer, including the ones you got right, since it often shows the reasoning behind the correct option.
When you have a practice set worth keeping, export it as a PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan, or move it into a learning platform with QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I do before an HSC exam?
There is no fixed number that suits everyone, but short regular sessions work better than one long cram. Finish a set, review every explanation, then come back to the questions you missed a day or two later.
What is the best way to use practice exams for HSC revision?
Sit the questions under rough timed conditions, then mark them and note the topic behind each wrong answer. Revise those topics from your notes and retake the questions you missed.
Can I export the questions to Word or PDF?
Yes, PDF and DOCX export is included on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.
Can I start with photos of my notes?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, and you can also upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX or plain text. The free plan includes 3 generations per month with study in the browser.
