Making quizzes students can actually learn from

Teachers, tutors and students all need a quick way to create quizzes for students without starting from a blank page. The useful version of a quiz is built from the actual reading or lecture, with questions that test understanding rather than only matching a term to a definition.

Questions are drawn from your own uploaded material, not generic templates.
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats can be mixed in one quiz.
Every question includes an explanation to review after you answer.
Quizzes can be exported as PDF or DOCX on Plus, and as QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

Example intro biology quiz questions

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen into ATP.

True or false: plant cell walls are made mainly of cellulose.True. Cellulose gives the wall its rigidity and is one of the features that sets plant cells apart from animal cells.

Which molecule carries genetic information out of the nucleus to the ribosomes?mRNA. It is transcribed from DNA and guides the order of amino acids during protein synthesis.

What is the main job of the cell membrane?Controlling what enters and leaves the cell. Its phospholipid bilayer and embedded proteins make it selectively permeable.

In diffusion, which way do molecules move?From higher concentration to lower concentration. They spread out without any energy input until the concentration evens out.

Generate the full set

Three question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, so a quiz can test recognition and recall.

Built from your own material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page and the quiz follows what you actually covered.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so wrong answers become a lesson instead of a dead end.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Images are read with text recognition.

Pick the question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them in one quiz.

Study or export

Take the quiz in your browser on the free plan, or export it as PDF or DOCX on Plus.

When you upload your own slides or notes, DeckOwl writes questions that stay close to the material and adds an explanation to each answer. That makes the quiz useful for self-checking, for review before an exam, or for a study group that wants a shared set of questions it can retake.

Students who want the Quizizz format can take the quiz in the browser on the free plan, and Plus adds exports so the same set can be printed or loaded into another tool.

Frequently asked questions

How should a student build a practice quiz from one chapter?

Focus on the chapter's key terms, processes and the points that are easy to confuse. A short set you retake over several days usually helps more than one long test.

What makes a good quiz question for studying biology?

Good questions ask how or why a process works, not only which term matches a definition. Read the explanation for every wrong answer so each mistake teaches something.

Can I export my quizzes to Word or PDF?

Yes, PDF and DOCX exports are included on the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study quizzes in the browser without exports.

Does DeckOwl export to QTI or Moodle XML?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
