Turn your lecture notes into a practice test for studying
Upload a PDF, slide deck or set of notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations, ready to study in your browser.
Why a custom practice test beats a generic one
Students searching for a practice test maker for studying usually have the material already, in lecture slides, a PDF of the textbook or a page of handwritten notes. A generic quiz rarely matches what your instructor will ask, so the most useful practice test is one built from your own sources.
- Works from PDFs, slides, notes and photos of pages
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
- Study in the browser on the Free plan with no credit card needed
- Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the quiz is built from what you actually have to learn.
Three question formats
Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions so your practice covers recall and understanding, not just guessing.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson instead of a dead end.
How it works
Upload your material
Add your lecture notes, textbook chapter or slides. Photos of printed pages work too.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false, short answer or a mix, and set how many questions you want.
Take the test and review
Answer in the browser, read the explanations, then retake the questions you missed.
If you need a ready-made test, DeckOwl will not give you a fixed printable sheet. It generates a fresh set of questions from the material you upload, which keeps the practice close to your course. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, while the Plus plan adds PDF and DOCX export.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I do before an exam?
There is no fixed number, but working through a full set of questions under timed conditions is more useful than rereading notes. Retake the questions you missed until you can explain each answer without looking.
What makes a good practice test question?
A good question makes you apply a concept rather than recognize a term, such as predicting a result from a rule. Explanations matter as much as the answer, because they show the reasoning you need on exam day.
Can I export my practice tests?
Yes, on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month you can export to PDF and DOCX, and Anki and CSV exports are also included. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are available on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The Free plan gives you 3 generations per month with browser study, and students get 40% off with a school email.
