Turn your notes into a randomized quiz you can retake
DeckOwl writes quiz questions from your own material, with an explanation for every answer, so each review session can use fresh practice.
How a randomized quiz helps you study
Practicing in a fixed order lets you remember where an answer sits instead of what it means. A randomized quiz maker pulls your questions into different combinations, which forces you to recall each concept on its own terms.
- Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, text or photos of pages
- Get multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions
- Read an explanation for every answer
- Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus, with QTI and Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your own files
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page, and get questions based on that material.
Three question types
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.
Study first, export when ready
Take quizzes in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your material
Add your slides, readings or notes. No credit card is needed to start.
Generate a quiz
Pick the question type and let DeckOwl write questions and explanations from the content.
Retake with new sets
Generate another quiz from the same material to mix up your practice and test recall.
Start with your own lecture slides or chapter notes, then generate a multiple choice or true/false set. Read the explanation after each answer, especially the wrong ones, before you move on.
Random practice works best when you space it out. Review a fresh set a few days after the first attempt, and focus extra time on the questions you missed twice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between simple random sampling and stratified sampling?
In simple random sampling, every member of the population has an equal chance of selection. In stratified sampling, the population is split into subgroups first, and a random sample is drawn from each subgroup so every group is represented.
Why does random assignment matter in a randomized controlled trial?
Random assignment spreads both known and unknown differences between participants across the treatment and control groups. That makes it more likely that any difference in outcomes comes from the intervention.
Can I export my quizzes on the free plan?
The free plan lets you study quizzes in the browser but does not include exports. PDF and DOCX export start on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.
Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?
No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month. Students can also get 40% off a paid plan with a school email.
