Why generate the test from your own notes

Many students who type in a Kahoot-style test maker want a fast, game-like quiz, but the questions that help most come from what they actually studied. DeckOwl turns your own PDF, slides or notes into multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations, so the quiz matches your course rather than a generic template.

  • Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text or photos of pages
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions
  • Explanations on every question
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
Example Spanish present-tense verb quiz questions
Which form completes the sentence: Nosotros ___ (hablar) español en clase?hablamos. Regular -ar verbs drop -ar and add -amos for nosotros.
What is the ellos form of vivir in the present tense?viven. Regular -ir verbs take -en in the ellos and ellas forms.
True or false: the tú form of comer is comes.True. Regular -er verbs take -es in the tú form, so comer becomes comes.
What is the yo form of tener in the present tense?tengo. Tener is irregular in the yo form, adding a g before the -o ending.
Complete the sentence: Ella ___ (pensar) en el examen.piensa. Pensar is stem-changing (e to ie) in the singular forms, so it becomes piens- before -o, -as, -a.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Spanish present-tense verb quiz include?

A set of about 10 to 15 questions covers one lesson's verbs well. Mix regular verbs with stem-changing and irregular ones so the quiz tests more than one skill.

Which present-tense Spanish verbs are hardest to memorize?

Stem-changing verbs like pensar (piensa) and irregular yo forms like tengo cause the most mistakes. Practice those separately first, then mix them into one quiz.

Can I export the quiz?

PDF and DOCX export is included in Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export is included in Pro at $14.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

The free plan allows 3 generations per month and needs no credit card to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
