How students can turn class material into quizzes
Many students want the quick, game-like feel of a classroom quiz without waiting for a teacher to write one. DeckOwl creates Quizizz-style quizzes for students from the material you already have, then writes multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from your own material
- An explanation for every answer so mistakes become lessons
- Free plan with 3 generations per month, studied right in the browser
- Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email
Questions from your material
Quizzes are written from the PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or page photos you upload, so they match what your course covered.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so you learn from wrong answers instead of just seeing a score.
Study in the browser
The free plan lets you take quizzes right away in your browser with no download and no credit card needed.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Choose a quiz format
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, then generate the set from your own material.
Answer and review
Work through the questions, read each explanation, and come back to missed items before your next study session.
Because the questions come from your own notes and slides, the quiz covers what your course actually taught rather than a generic question bank. You can answer each one, read why the right choice is right, and return to the questions you missed a day or two later.
Paid plans add export to PDF, DOCX and Anki for studying elsewhere, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for instructors who run their own course sites.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study for a biology quiz on cell structure?
Quiz yourself from memory before rereading your notes, and say out loud why each answer is correct. Spread your practice over several days, since short repeated sessions usually stick better than one long cram.
How many practice questions should I do before an exam?
There is no fixed number that works for everyone. A useful goal is to finish a full set once, then redo only the questions you missed after a day or two.
