How the two compare with a quiz built from your own material

If you are weighing Quizizz or Wayground, the first question is where the questions should come from. DeckOwl starts with material you already have: upload a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file or photo of a page, and it writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from that content.

Questions come from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or photos of pages.
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes an explanation.
The Free plan includes 3 generations per month, study in the browser, and no exports.
QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included on the Pro plan.

Example cell biology quiz questions

Which organelle produces most of the ATP in an animal cell?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen into ATP.

Do plant cells have a rigid cell wall that animal cells lack?True. Plant cell walls are made mainly of cellulose, which gives the cell structure and support.

What is the main job of ribosomes?Protein synthesis. They read messenger RNA and link amino acids into polypeptide chains.

Which part of the cell holds the genetic instructions?The nucleus. It stores DNA and controls which genes are expressed.

Why do cell membranes form a double layer?Phospholipids have water-loving heads and water-fearing tails, so they arrange into a bilayer that separates the cell interior from its surroundings.

Frequently asked questions

How many practice questions should I make before an exam?

There is no fixed number, but a set that covers every section of your notes is more useful than many questions on one topic. Review the wrong answers first, then retest a few days later.

What makes a good practice quiz question?

A good question tests one idea, and its wrong options reflect common mistakes. Explanations should say why the correct answer is right, not only what it is.

Can I export DeckOwl quizzes to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser, with no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
