Why generate multiple-choice questions from text

Writing distractors by hand for a 20-page chapter can eat an evening. An AI MCQ generator from text reads your notes and drafts the stem, answer choices and explanation for each question, so your time goes into checking them rather than typing them.

  • Paste notes or upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX or image files
  • Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions
  • Read an explanation for every answer before you commit it to memory
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Example photosynthesis multiple-choice questions
Where in the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions take place? A) Stroma B) Thylakoid membrane C) Outer membrane D) NucleoidB) Thylakoid membrane. Chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes captures light energy, which is why these reactions happen there.
True or false: photosynthesis releases oxygen because water molecules are split during the light-dependent reactions.True. Splitting water supplies electrons and protons, and the leftover oxygen is released into the air.
Which gas does the Calvin cycle fix into organic molecules?Carbon dioxide. The enzyme RuBisCO attaches CO2 to a five-carbon sugar, which starts the cycle that builds G3P.
Why does a leaf kept in darkness stop making ATP and NADPH through photosynthesis?Without light there is no energy to drive the light-dependent reactions, so the cell cannot produce the ATP and NADPH the Calvin cycle needs.
What is the main sugar precursor the Calvin cycle produces that plants use to build glucose?G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate). Two G3P molecules combine to form one glucose, and most of the remaining G3P regenerates RuBP.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Choose the question type that fits your material. Each question comes with an explanation of why the correct answer is right.

Works with the files you already have

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition before questions are written.

Study in the browser or export

Free accounts study in the browser. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning systems.

How it works

Add your source

Paste text or upload a file from your course, textbook chapter or lecture slides.

Pick question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions and how many you want to draft.

Review and study

Check each question and explanation, edit anything that looks off, then quiz yourself in the browser.

Good questions depend on the source. Feed it a clear section with defined terms and the drafts tend to test the same ideas your instructor will, while vague notes produce vague questions, so review every item before you rely on it.

Export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML so quizzes can be imported into a learning management system.

Frequently asked questions

How many multiple-choice questions should I make from one chapter?

Start with 10 to 15 questions per chapter so you can review each one carefully. Focus on the key terms and processes, such as the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle in a photosynthesis unit.

What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple-choice question?

Good distractors are plausible but clearly incorrect, such as mixing up the stroma and the thylakoid membrane. Avoid answers that are obviously silly, because they let you guess without understanding the material.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports. Plus starts at $39 per year or $7.99 per month and adds unlimited generations with PDF and DOCX export.

Which formats can I export my quizzes to?

PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are available on Pro, which costs $14.99 per month.
