Turn your own notes into a printable learning style quiz
Upload a PDF, slides, DOCX, PPTX or photos of pages and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations you can study from right away.
Why a custom quiz beats a generic printable
Many sites offer a printable learning style quiz that sorts students into visual or auditory types, but that label rarely changes how well anyone studies.
- Free plan: 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports.
- Plus: $39/year or $7.99/month for unlimited generations, PDF and DOCX export, Anki and CSV export, and spaced repetition.
- Pro: $14.99/month with a stronger AI model, bulk upload, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
- Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
Built from your material
Questions come from your lecture slides, readings or notes, so the quiz checks what your course actually covers.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false or short answer item comes with a short explanation, so missed questions become lessons.
Export when you need paper
Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads scanned pages.
Choose question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, then generate the quiz from your own material.
Study or print
Work through the quiz in the browser, or export a PDF or DOCX on Plus to print and review offline.
A quiz built from your own slides or notes tests the content your exam will cover. DeckOwl reads your files and writes questions with explanations, so each answer shows you why it is right or wrong.
Retrieval practice and spaced review work for almost every learner. The quiz helps most when you answer from memory, check the explanation, and return to missed questions a few days later.

Frequently asked questions
Do learning style quizzes show which study methods will work best?
Not reliably. Reviews of controlled studies have found little evidence that matching teaching to a self-reported learning style improves test results.
Which study methods work for most learners?
Retrieval practice, where you close the book and answer questions from memory, and spaced review have strong support across subjects and learner types.
Can I print a quiz made with DeckOwl?
PDF and DOCX export are part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and needs no credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
