Turn any PDF into a multiple choice test with AI
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations. You get a custom test built from your own material, not a generic printable one.
How the multiple choice test generator works
Teachers, tutors and students often have a stack of PDF readings and need a quiz by tonight. A multiple choice test generator from PDF reads the file and writes questions from what it actually says, so the quiz matches your course instead of a generic textbook. If you were hoping for a ready-made printable test, this is a different route: DeckOwl builds a custom one from your own material.
- Questions are drawn from the text of your own file, not a generic bank.
- Every answer includes an explanation you can review before the test.
- Students can practice in the browser on the Free plan without exporting.
- Students with a school email get 40% off Plus or Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How many multiple choice questions should I write for a Greek mythology chapter?
Aim for at least one question per major god, hero or myth in the chapter, then remove duplicates. Dense chapters with many named figures need more questions than short overviews.
What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple choice question about myths?
Good distractors are plausible but clearly incorrect, such as a different hero's deed or a different god's domain. Avoid answers that are obviously silly, because they give away the correct choice.
Can I export a generated test to Word or PDF?
Yes, PDF and DOCX exports are included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are available on Pro at $14.99/month.
Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?
The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but no exports. You do not need a credit card to start.
