Why a custom quiz beats a generic one
When you cannot find a quiz that matches your lecture order or vocabulary, the fastest route is to build one from the exact pages you were assigned. DeckOwl reads those files and writes questions drawn only from them.
- Questions match your own readings, slides or notes
- Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer in one set
- Explanations show why each answer is right or wrong
- Start free with no credit card and 3 generations per month
Built from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages, and get questions matched to what your class actually covers.
Three question types
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation so a wrong answer teaches you something.
Exports when you need them
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for your LMS.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of a page.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.
Review and study
Check each question and its explanation, then practice in the browser or export the set.
Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson instead of a dead end. Review the set, delete anything off-topic, and generate a new version with a different question type.
