Ready-made quizzes are fine until they don't match your lesson

Free online quizzes are handy when a unit has no ready-made set, but a generic quiz rarely matches the exact pages, vocabulary and examples your class covered.

  • Quiz questions drawn from your own lesson pages, not a generic bank
  • Explanations on every answer so homework feedback teaches something
  • Short-answer items for activities that need recall, not just recognition
  • A free plan to test the fit before you pay anything
Example biology quiz questions for a cell lesson

True or false: mitochondria carry out photosynthesis in plant cells.False. Chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, while mitochondria release energy from glucose during respiration.
Which organelle stores the DNA in a eukaryotic cell?The nucleus. It is enclosed by a nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the cytoplasm.
Why is the cell membrane described as selectively permeable?It controls what enters and leaves the cell, letting in nutrients while keeping out many harmful substances.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text or photos of pages. The quiz is written from what you actually taught, not a generic question bank.

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation so students learn from every wrong answer.

Free to start

No credit card needed. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser.

How it works

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, notes or a photo of a page.

Choose

Pick the question types for the lesson, activity or homework set.

Study

Work through the quiz in the browser, then upgrade when you need an exported file.

DeckOwl works the other way around. You upload the slides, reading or notes, and it writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions from that material, each with an explanation. The same set can serve as a warm-up activity, a review before a test or homework.

The free plan covers 3 generations a month and studying in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a homework quiz have?

Five to ten questions is a common range for a short homework check. Mixing multiple choice with short answer questions tests recall better than recognition alone.

How do I turn a lesson into a class activity?

Start with the two or three ideas you most want students to remember, then write questions that require applying them. Review the explanations together before moving on.

Is the free plan enough to try it?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. Exporting files requires a paid plan.

Can I export quizzes to a learning management system?

Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are on the Pro plan. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included in Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
