Review the explanation for every question you miss
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI or Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on one lecture have?

Ten to fifteen questions usually cover a 20-minute lecture well. Shorter quizzes are easier to repeat later.

Should I quiz myself right after watching a lecture?

Yes, a short quiz soon after watching helps, and repeating it a day or two later makes recall stick better. Spaced review works better than one long session.

Can I get the quiz as a file?

Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX come with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML come with Pro at $14.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and studying in the browser.

Does DeckOwl read a YouTube link directly?

No. DeckOwl works from text, files, and photos, so copy the transcript or your notes first.
