Why build your own quiz instead of a ready-made one

Many people who type quizizz wayground into a search bar want practice questions they can use in class or at home, not a generic library they have to sort through.

Questions drawn from your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer with explanations
Study in the browser on the free plan
Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Example quiz questions on writing good quiz items

Which question type best checks whether a student can apply a concept rather than recall a definition?Short answer or a scenario-based multiple choice question, because the student must use the idea in a new context instead of matching a memorized phrase.

True or false: a good multiple choice distractor is a plausible but wrong answer.True, because implausible distractors let students guess without thinking, while plausible ones reveal real misunderstandings.

Why should each quiz question include an explanation?Explanations turn a wrong answer into a lesson, because the student learns why the correct option works and why their choice did not.

How many answer options are common in a multiple choice question?Four is common, since it gives enough distractors to test understanding without overloading the reader with choices.

What makes a true/false statement fair?It has one clear truth value and avoids absolute words like always or never unless no exceptions exist, because those words are often false.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Questions come from the PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes or page photos you upload, so the quiz matches what your class actually covered.

Explanations on every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.

Export when you need it

Save to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro, to take your quiz into the tools your course already uses.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the photo.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and set how many questions you want.

Practice and review

Work through the quiz in your browser, then read the explanations for any questions you missed.

A ready-made quiz may not match the chapter your class covered, so the wording and difficulty can feel off. DeckOwl works from the material you already have, so each question comes from your own slides or notes, and every answer includes an explanation you can read after a miss.

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, then choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Free accounts can study in the browser; exports to PDF and DOCX need Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML need Pro.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wayground the same as Quizizz?

Quizizz adopted the Wayground name in 2024, so both names often show up in searches. DeckOwl is a separate tool and is not affiliated with either.

How many questions should a practice quiz have?

Around 10 to 20 focused questions usually covers one chapter or lecture well. Longer quizzes tend to tire students before they finish, so split large units into several quizzes.

Can I export my quiz to Wayground or Quizizz?

DeckOwl does not connect directly to Wayground or Quizizz. Exports to PDF and DOCX are on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML exports are on Pro, which some learning platforms can import.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 5 generations a week and lets you study in the browser, but exports are not included. No credit card is needed to start.
