How to turn notes into a quiz

Rereading lecture notes feels productive, but testing yourself is what makes the material stick. Using a tool that can turn notes into quiz questions saves you from writing every question by hand. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text, and photos of pages, then drafts multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.

Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations

Plus and Pro add exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML

Example plate tectonics quiz questions

What type of plate boundary forms the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?A divergent boundary, where plates pull apart and magma rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust.

True or false: the Himalayas formed when an oceanic plate subducted beneath a continental plate.False. The Himalayas formed where two continental plates collided, and continental crust is too buoyant to subduct easily.

What evidence showed that new seafloor forms at mid-ocean ridges?Magnetic striping in the seafloor rock, which records reversals of Earth's magnetic field in matching bands on each side of the ridge.

Short answer: why do transform boundaries produce earthquakes but usually no volcanoes?Plates slide horizontally past each other, so crust is neither created nor destroyed, and magma has no easy path to the surface.

Which boundary type creates deep ocean trenches?A convergent boundary with subduction, because the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath another plate and pulls a trench into the seafloor.

Generate the full set

Works from your own material

Upload PDF, DOCX or PPTX files, paste plain notes, or photograph a page and let text recognition read it.

Three question types

Get multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of why the answer is right.

Study what you miss

Flashcards use spaced repetition, so questions you get wrong come back sooner than the ones you know.

How it works

Add your notes

Upload a file or paste text. Photos of printed pages work too.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or a mix, then generate the quiz.

Quiz yourself

Answer in the browser, read the explanations, and repeat the questions you missed.

Review each question before you study. Generated items are a starting point, so check them against your source and edit anything unclear or wrong. The explanations make this faster, because you can see why the correct answer is correct and fix gaps in your notes.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I write from one lecture on plate tectonics?

Rather than aiming for a fixed count, cover each boundary type, key term and piece of evidence, such as magnetic striping on the seafloor. Most single lectures produce enough distinct ideas for a focused quiz.

What should a plate tectonics quiz test besides vocabulary?

Focus on relationships, such as how divergent, convergent and transform boundaries produce different landforms and earthquake patterns. Questions that ask why something happens test understanding better than definitions alone.

Can I export generated quizzes to Moodle?

Yes, the Pro plan includes QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export, and the Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes three generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students can get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
