How to get useful multiple choice questions from your own material

Writing a full set of multiple choice questions for every chapter takes hours, and most of that time goes to finding testable facts. DeckOwl works as a multiple choice question generator that reads your PDF, slides or notes and drafts questions with answer choices, one correct answer and an explanation.

  • Questions come from the notes or slides you upload, not from generic filler.
  • Every answer includes an explanation you can review while studying.
  • You can switch between multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats.
  • Exports to PDF and DOCX are available on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.
Example multiple choice questions on cell division
In which phase of mitosis do sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell?Anaphase. Spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids apart, so each daughter cell receives one copy of every chromosome.
How many daughter cells does one round of mitosis produce from a single diploid cell?Two. Mitosis divides the nucleus once, producing two genetically identical diploid cells.
Which process produces four haploid gametes from one diploid cell?Meiosis. It involves two rounds of division but only one round of DNA replication, so the cells end with half the chromosome number.
What happens during crossing over in prophase I of meiosis?Homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA. This shuffles alleles and increases genetic variation among the gametes.
Why is the chromosome number halved during meiosis?Homologous chromosomes are separated in meiosis I, so each gamete gets one chromosome from each pair. Fertilization then restores the full number.
Generate the full set

Reads your material

Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages, which are read with text recognition.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct choice is right, so wrong answers become lessons.

Study in the browser

The free plan lets you run your questions right away in the browser, with 3 generations per month to start.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of your class notes.

Pick the question type

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer for the set you need.

Study or export

Practice in the browser, or export to PDF and DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

Generated questions are only as good as the source. Before you rely on a set, check that the correct answer matches your lecture or textbook, and that the wrong choices are plausible rather than obviously false. Mixing in true/false and short answer questions tests the same material from a different angle.

Once the set looks right, study it in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export for printing and sharing, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good multiple choice questions about mitosis?

Start with one specific fact per question, such as the phase in which chromosomes line up. Make each wrong choice a plausible mix-up, like confusing anaphase with metaphase, so the question tests understanding.

What should a cell division quiz test beyond memorizing phases?

Ask students to compare mitosis and meiosis, predict chromosome numbers in daughter cells, and explain why crossing over increases variation. Those questions show whether the process makes sense.

Can I export my questions to Moodle?

Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99/month. PDF and DOCX export are available on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month.

Is there a way to try the generator without paying?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
