How an AI quiz from a PDF helps you study

Many students want an AI quiz generator from PDF files because rereading a 40-page chapter rarely shows what you actually remember. Testing yourself on the material is more effective, but writing good questions by hand takes time you may not have before an exam.

Questions are based on the pages you upload, so you practice the content your instructor actually covers.
Every question includes an explanation, which helps you learn from mistakes instead of just marking them wrong.
The free plan gives 3 generations per month, with no credit card needed to start.
Students with a school email get 40% off Plus, which includes unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export.

Frequently asked questions

How many practice questions should I answer per session?

Ten to twenty focused questions is a good target for one session. Short, frequent quizzes help you remember more than one long cram session.

What should I do with questions I got wrong?

Read the explanation, then try the same idea again a day or two later without looking at the answer. Repeating missed questions after a delay is one of the most reliable ways to strengthen memory.

Can I export the quiz to PDF or Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and add a paid plan later if you need more.
