Why build your own printable quiz

Paper quizzes still work well for review, which is why many people want to print Quizizz question sets before an exam. DeckOwl takes a different route: it builds a quiz from the notes, slides or PDF you already have, so the questions match what you actually studied. Each item comes with an explanation, and Plus lets you export the result as a PDF or DOCX for printing.

Questions built from your own files, not a shared question bank
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats
Explanations for every answer so printed quizzes double as study notes
PDF and DOCX export on the Plus plan, starting at $7.99/month or $39/year

Example printed biology quiz questions on cell structure

Which organelle produces most of the ATP in a eukaryotic cell?The mitochondrion, because cellular respiration there drives oxidative phosphorylation.

True or false: prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.False. Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus; their DNA sits in an area called the nucleoid.

What is the main function of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids for transport within the cell or out of it.

Why do plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose?Cellulose gives structural support and keeps the cell from bursting when water enters by osmosis.

How does osmosis differ from diffusion?Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane, while diffusion describes any solute moving down its concentration gradient.

Built from your material

Questions come from the notes, slides or PDFs you upload, so the printed quiz covers what your course actually taught.

Three question formats

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, depending on whether you are drilling facts or checking understanding.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes an explanation, so a printed quiz also works as a review sheet after you grade it.

How it works

Upload your file

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Pick the question type

Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and the number you want to include.

Study or export

Work through the quiz in your browser on the free plan, or export it as a PDF or DOCX for printing on Plus.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats cover recall and understanding, and you can switch between them depending on whether you are drilling facts or checking reasoning. Because the quiz is built from your own material, the printed version reflects your course rather than a shared library of question sets.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a printed practice quiz include?

Ten to twenty questions is a practical range for one sitting, since shorter sets are easier to finish and longer ones can cause fatigue. Start shorter and add questions on topics you keep missing.

What is the best way to study from a printed quiz?

Answer the questions on paper first without notes, then check each answer against its explanation. Revisit the questions you missed after a day or two, which spaces out your review.

Can I export my quiz to PDF for printing?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included.

Does DeckOwl include existing Quizizz quizzes?

No. DeckOwl generates questions from files you upload, such as PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages, so you print a quiz written from your own material.
