Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a biology quiz have for a first study session?

Eight to twelve questions is a practical range for one sitting, since it covers one chapter section without fatigue. Mix multiple-choice with true/false so you practice both recognition and recall.

Is answering practice questions better than rereading notes?

Retrieval practice, where you answer from memory, usually beats rereading for long-term retention. Read each explanation after answering so you understand why the wrong options were wrong.

Do I need to install anything to use DeckOwl on my laptop?

No. DeckOwl runs in your web browser, and you can start on the free plan without a credit card.

Which file types can I upload, and what do I need to pay for?
