Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions each include explanations.
The free plan has 3 generations per month and browser study only.
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV need Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML need Pro.

Example practice questions on cell biology

True or false: plant cells lack a cell wall.False. Plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose, which animal cells do not have.

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

Why does a cell lose water when placed in concentrated salt water?The outside solution has a lower water potential, so water moves out of the cell by osmosis.

What does the cell nucleus store?Most of the cell's DNA, organized into chromosomes, which controls gene expression.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages and get quiz questions based on what you actually studied.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question includes an explanation, so wrong answers become study moments.

Study in the browser

The free plan gives you 3 generations per month with browser study. Plus and Pro add exports for other tools and learning systems.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set.

Review and study

Go through the questions and explanations in your browser, or export if you are on a paid plan.

DeckOwl starts from a different place. It writes the questions from your own material, so the quiz covers what you actually studied rather than a set someone else wrote. Each question comes with an explanation.

If you need files for a learning management system, check the plan first. PDF and DOCX exports are part of Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are part of Pro.
