Turn your notes into multiple choice questions with explanations

Why examples alone will not prepare you for your course

Good multiple choice questions examples have one clearly correct answer, plausible distractors and an explanation that teaches the concept. Sample sets like the ones on this page show the format, but they rarely match the exact chapter or lecture your class covers. DeckOwl reads your own material and writes questions in that style, so you practice what you will actually be tested on.

• Write stems that ask one thing, and avoid all of the above options.
• Make distractors from the same category as the correct answer.
• Keep answer choices similar in length so the right one does not stand out.
• Read the explanation even when you guessed correctly.
