Turn your notes into a practice quiz you can take today
Upload a PDF, slides or typed notes and get questions with explanations for each answer, so you can test what you actually remember.
Why practice quizzes beat rereading notes
Rereading notes feels productive, but it rarely shows you what you can recall on your own, and turning notes into a practice quiz forces that recall first. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides or typed notes and writes questions with explanations, so each answer tells you whether you understood the idea or only recognized it. For fractions and decimals, that means testing whether you can convert 3/8 to a decimal, not just whether the steps look familiar.
- Questions are built from your own notes, not generic topic lists.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats are all available.
- Explanations show the reasoning behind each correct answer.
- No credit card is needed to start on the Free plan.
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions generated from your own material.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why it was wrong.
Works from your files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the text is read and turned into questions.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text file or photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions for the quiz you want to take.
Practice and check
Answer the questions, read the explanations and go back to the parts you missed.
Once the questions are generated, you can take the quiz in the browser on the Free plan, which includes 5 generations a week. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for course platforms. Start with your most recent notes, then return to the same quiz later in the week to see what you still miss.

Frequently asked questions
How do I practice converting fractions to decimals?
Divide the numerator by the denominator, then check your answer by multiplying back. Working a mix of terminating decimals like 1/4 and repeating decimals like 1/3 helps you spot the pattern.
What should a fractions and decimals practice quiz cover?
Include adding and subtracting fractions, converting between fractions and decimals, comparing and ordering decimals, and multiplying decimals. Short quizzes on each skill are easier to review than one long test.
Does DeckOwl work from photos of pages?
Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition and turned into questions. Check the generated questions against your notes before you study from them.
Can I export the quiz to PDF or Moodle?
PDF and DOCX export is included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export is on the Pro plan at $14.99/month, while the Free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
