Turn your notes into an online quiz for students with answers
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get practice questions with correct answers and short explanations, ready to study in the browser.
Why an online quiz with answers works for studying
A teacher or tutor often needs an online quiz for students with answers ready the same day a unit ends, and writing one from scratch takes hours. Starting from the notes or slides you already have keeps the quiz tied to what was actually taught.
- Questions are built only from the material you upload.
- Each question shows the correct answer and a one-sentence explanation.
- Students can take the quiz in the browser without installing anything.
- Students with a school email get 40% off a paid plan.
Three question types
Get multiple choice, true/false or open questions from the same material, so you can mix formats in one quiz.
Answers and explanations
Every question comes with the correct answer and a short explanation of why it is right, so students learn from mistakes.
Export when you need it
Paid plans export quizzes to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for printing, handouts or your learning management system.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads images.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want.
Study or export
Take the quiz in your browser right away, or export it on a paid plan.
Answers matter most when they come with reasons. Each DeckOwl question includes an explanation, so a student who misses a question can see which idea they mixed up. The free plan lets you try three generations a month, and no credit card is needed to start.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have for a single cell biology chapter?
Ten to fifteen questions usually cover the main ideas of one chapter without taking too long. Mix multiple choice with true/false so students practice both recognition and recall.
What is the best way for students to use a quiz with answers?
Have students answer first, then check the explanation for every question they missed. Retaking the missed questions a day or two later helps the material stick.
Can I export the quiz to PDF or Moodle?
Exports are available on paid plans: Plus includes PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
How much does DeckOwl cost for students?
Plus costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and Pro costs $14.99 per month. Students with a school email get 40% off, and you can start without a credit card.
