Turn your own study material into a practice test with AI
Upload a PDF, slide deck, Word file or photo of a page. DeckOwl writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions from that material, with an explanation for every answer.
How a generated practice test fits your study plan
A fixed question bank only covers what its publisher chose to include, which is why many students want a limbiks-style practice test generator that builds questions from the material they already have. DeckOwl reads PDF, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations. It is not affiliated with Limbiks and does not include its question bank.
- Questions drawn only from the files you upload
- Explanations for every multiple choice, true/false and short answer item
- No credit card needed to start on the free plan
- Students get 40% off Plus with a school email
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.
Built from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages, and the questions come from that content.
Exports when you need them
Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.
How it works
Upload your material
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 test.
Study and export
Take the test in the browser, review the explanations, and export on a paid plan.
Explanations appear after each answer, so you can see why an option is wrong and find the section of your notes that covers it. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I answer before an exam?
There is no fixed number, but working through a full test and then retaking every missed question usually helps more than repeating easy ones. Try the missed questions again after a day or two.
Should I study the wrong answers or the right ones?
Focus on the wrong answers, since they show the gaps in your understanding. Read the explanation, find the matching section in your notes, and restate the idea in your own words.
Can I export generated tests to my course platform?
QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included in Plus.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
