Turn your own notes into a printable quiz booklet
Know which page size fits your handout, then build the questions from the material you already have. Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations.
Picking a quiz booklet size that fits your printer
Choosing the right quiz booklet size usually starts with the paper you have. A US Letter sheet folded in half gives a half-letter booklet of 5.5 by 8.5 inches, and an A4 sheet folded in half gives A5. Once the format is set, the real work is the questions, and those depend on what you are testing.
- Half-letter booklets measure 5.5 by 8.5 inches and come from folding one US Letter sheet in half.
- A5 booklets measure 148 by 210 mm and come from folding one A4 sheet in half.
- Saddle-stitched booklets need a page count that is a multiple of four, since each folded sheet gives four pages.
- Print the answer explanations on a separate key page so students can check their work.
Built from your material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. The quiz follows what your course actually covered.
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation so the printed key teaches as well as tests.
Export when you need a file
PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are available on paid plans, so you can lay out the booklet in your own tools.
How it works
Choose your booklet size
Decide the page format first, such as half-letter, A5 or a folded legal sheet, so you know how much room each question gets.
Upload your notes or slides
Add the file or photos you study from. Scanned pages are read with text recognition.
Generate and export
Review the questions, edit anything off, then export to PDF or DOCX on a paid plan, or study in the browser on the free plan.
A ready-made printable quiz covers someone else's content, so it rarely matches your lecture or your exam. DeckOwl reads your own PDFs, slides or notes and writes multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations, so the booklet you print reflects what you were taught. Start with the free plan to test a few generations before deciding whether you need exports.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a half-letter quiz booklet?
A half-letter booklet measures 5.5 by 8.5 inches. You make it by folding one US Letter sheet (8.5 by 11 inches) in half across the long side.
How many pages should a folded quiz booklet have?
Use a multiple of four, such as 8, 12 or 16 pages. Each folded sheet gives four pages, so stapled booklets need full sheets to avoid blank pages.
Can I make a printable quiz from my own lecture notes?
Yes. Upload the notes, slides or photos of pages, and DeckOwl generates questions with explanations from that material.
Do I need a paid plan to export the quiz for printing?
Yes. The free plan lets you study in the browser but has no exports, while PDF and DOCX export are included in the paid plans.
