Understand what Moodle quiz flagged questions do before test day
Flag a question to come back to it later, then build practice questions from your own notes so fewer of them need flagging on test day.
How flagged questions work and how to prepare for them
Moodle quiz flagged questions are a simple way to mark items you want to come back to before you submit an attempt. The flag is only a personal reminder: it does not change your answer or your score, and it stays saved when you move between questions.
- Answer every question with a best guess before you flag anything.
- Flag only the questions you genuinely want to revisit, so the review stays manageable.
- Read the explanation for each missed practice question, not just the correct letter.
- Check the flagged list before submitting, because unanswered questions score zero.
Practice from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain notes or photos of pages and get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions.
An explanation for every answer
Each question comes with an explanation, so you learn why the right option is right instead of memorizing a letter.
Spaced repetition for flashcards
Flashcards follow a spaced repetition schedule, so the material you keep missing returns more often.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the PDF, slides, notes or page photos from your course.
Generate and review questions
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions and read the explanations for each one.
Practice before the quiz
Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Moodle XML on the Pro plan.
DeckOwl turns your lecture slides, PDFs, DOCX files or notes into practice questions with explanations. Rehearsing the questions you would otherwise flag means fewer of them are uncertain on the day. Studying in the browser is free; exports to Moodle XML are part of the Pro plan.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do with a flagged question during a timed Moodle quiz?
Give it your best guess so nothing is left blank, flag it, and return to it once the rest of the quiz is done.
Does flagging a question in Moodle change how it is graded?
No. Flags are for your own review and do not affect the score, which depends only on the answers you submit.
How can I study the material behind a question I keep flagging?
Write a short reason why each option is right or wrong, then test yourself on the same idea with fresh questions until you can answer without hesitating.
Can I export DeckOwl quizzes to Moodle?
Yes, Moodle XML export is included on the Pro plan. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
