Why a blank template is not the same as a quiz

Many teachers want a Quizizz spreadsheet template because it promises a faster way to get questions into a live quiz. A blank grid still leaves you writing every question, answer and explanation yourself, which is the slow part. DeckOwl starts from the material you already have and produces the questions first.

Questions are generated from your own PDFs, slides, DOCX files and notes
Multiple choice, true or false and open questions, each with an explanation
Photos of pages are read with text recognition
Free plan studies in the browser; Pro exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML

Example spreadsheet quiz questions with explanations

Which function adds only the cells in a range that meet one condition?SUMIF. It applies the criteria you give it, so only matching cells are added to the total.

What does the absolute reference $B$2 keep fixed when you copy a formula?Both column B and row 2. The dollar signs stop the reference from shifting as the formula is filled across or down.

True or false: VLOOKUP can return a value from a column to the left of the lookup column.False. VLOOKUP only searches to the right of its lookup column, so INDEX with MATCH is used for leftward lookups.

What does =IF(A2>50,"Pass","Fail") return when A2 contains 42?Fail. 42 is not greater than 50, so the test is false and IF returns its second value.

Which chart type best shows each category's share of one total?A pie chart. Each slice represents a part of a single whole, which is what a part-to-whole comparison means.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. The questions come from what you actually studied.

Explanations on every answer

Each question includes a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so the quiz teaches as well as tests.

Export when you need it

Pro exports to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, and Plus exports to PDF and DOCX, so the quiz can go into the tools you already use.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, text or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the photo.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true or false, or open questions. Mix types if you want a longer quiz.

Review and export

Check the questions and explanations, edit anything that needs it, then study in the browser or export.

For spreadsheet topics such as formulas, lookups and charts, that means the quiz can test what your course actually covers, like conditional totals or absolute references, with an explanation attached to each answer. You can then study the set in the browser or export it for a class platform.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a spreadsheet quiz have for one study session?

Ten to fifteen questions is a practical size for one sitting, because it covers a few topics without taking too long. If your notes are long, split them into sections and generate a quiz for each one.

Which spreadsheet topics work best as quiz questions?

Formulas such as SUMIF, IF and VLOOKUP, cell references, and choosing the right chart all test well because each has a clear correct answer. Explanations help most with the reasons behind a formula's result.

Can I export my quiz to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, on the Pro plan, which exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The Plus plan exports PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

Is exporting included in the free plan?

No. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month, and exports are part of paid plans. Students get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
