Turn your study notes into multiple choice questions with answers
Upload a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of a page. DeckOwl writes multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
How the quiz maker writes answer choices
Writing a good multiple choice questions with answers set takes more care than it looks. Each question needs one clearly correct option and distractors that are plausible enough to catch someone who has only skimmed the material.
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions from one upload
- Explanation attached to every correct answer
- Quizzes you can take in the browser on the free plan
- PDF and DOCX export, plus Anki and CSV, on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a multiple choice quiz on cell biology include?
Eight to fifteen questions is enough to check one chapter on cell structure and function. For a longer unit, split the set into topic sections so you can see which areas need more review.
How do I write wrong answer choices that are not obvious?
Base distractors on common mistakes, such as mixing up mitosis and meiosis or confusing mitochondria with chloroplasts. Keep all options similar in length so the correct answer does not stand out.
Can I export the questions I generate?
The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.
Can I generate questions from a photo of a textbook page?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition. Clear, straight photos with readable text give the most accurate questions.
