Why build your own GK quiz instead of printing one

Parents and teachers who want a GK quiz for kids often find printable sheets that cover general facts but do not match what is in the classroom or the book at home. A custom quiz fixes that mismatch because every question comes from the source material.

Questions match the book, slides or notes your child is studying.
Multiple-choice, true/false and open formats in one quiz.
Explanations help children understand why an answer is right.
Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card.

Generate the full set

Works from your material

Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, plain text or a photo of a page. The quiz is built from what you provide, not a generic question bank.

Three question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions. Mix them so younger readers get simpler items and older kids get harder ones.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a quick lesson instead of a dead end.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a document or a photo of a worksheet. Text recognition reads photos of pages.

Pick the question types

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

Quiz and review

Your child takes the quiz in the browser, reads the explanations and retries the questions they missed.

Generating from your own notes also keeps the quiz at the right level. You can start with ten questions for a younger child, then add harder open questions once the basics are solid.

DeckOwl generates the quiz in the browser on the free plan. Exporting to PDF or DOCX for printing is part of the Plus plan.
