Why a custom quiz beats a generic prompt

Many people who type AI quiz generator prompts into a search box want a template they can paste into a chatbot. That works, but the result is only as good as the material you paste in and the instructions you wrote, and most people end up rewriting the prompt several times.

Questions come from your own material, not from general web knowledge.
Each question includes an explanation so wrong answers teach something.
You choose the question type before generating, instead of editing a prompt.
Free plan: 3 generations per month, study in the browser, no exports needed to start.

Example prompt-writing practice questions

Why include a question count in a quiz prompt?It sets the scope of the quiz. Without a count, the model picks a length that may be too long or too short for your session.

What does a difficulty level tell the AI?It sets how deep the questions go, such as simple recall or application. This keeps the quiz matched to your course.

Why ask for explanations in a quiz prompt?Explanations show why the right answer is correct and why the distractors are wrong, which turns a missed question into a lesson.

Why tell the AI to use only the text you provide?It keeps questions tied to your notes, so the quiz does not pull in facts from outside your course material.

Why specify an output format in a quiz prompt?A fixed format, such as a numbered list, makes the questions easy to copy into a document and keeps answers separate from questions.

Frequently asked questions

What should a good quiz prompt include?

A useful quiz prompt names the source material, the number of questions, the question type and the difficulty level. It should also ask for an explanation with each answer so you can learn from mistakes.

How many questions should a practice quiz have?

Match the length to the material and to how much time you have. A short set you can finish in one sitting is more useful than a long set you skip.

Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX exports are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are included in Pro.
