Why quiz yourself on a research paper

Reading a dense journal article the night before a seminar often leaves you remembering the abstract and little else. An AI quiz generator for research papers turns the full text into questions that force you to recall the research question, the design and the limitations.

Questions drawn from the methods, results and discussion, not just the abstract
Explanations that show why the right answer is right
True/false items that catch overstated claims in the findings
Editable question sets you can reuse before exams or journal clubs

Example quiz questions from a research paper

In a randomized controlled trial, what is the main purpose of random assignment?To reduce selection bias, because chance rather than the researcher decides who gets each condition, so the groups start out comparable.

True or false: a p-value of 0.03 means there is a 3% chance the null hypothesis is true.False. It means that if the null hypothesis were true, data this extreme would appear about 3% of the time, which is not the probability that the hypothesis is true.

Which section of a paper is most likely to acknowledge the limitations of the study?The discussion, because authors interpret the results there and state the constraints on what the findings can support.

Why does the literature review usually come before the methods section?It shows what is already known and the gap the study fills, which justifies the methods the authors chose.

Short answer: what is a control group?The group that does not receive the intervention, used as a baseline to compare against the treatment group.

Generate the full set

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Pick the format that fits the paper. Multiple-choice checks recall of methods, true/false tests claims about results, and open questions check whether you can explain the reasoning.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation of why the correct answer is right, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.

Export to PDF, DOCX, QTI or Moodle XML

PDF and DOCX export come with Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro, so instructors and study groups can reuse the quiz.

How it works

Upload the paper

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of the pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a quiz built from your own copy of the paper.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF, DOCX or other formats on a paid plan.

Quizzing works better than rereading because each question makes you retrieve the answer. Mix formats so you practice both recognizing a correct claim and explaining why a method fits the question, then revisit the questions you missed before the next class.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should I make from one research paper?

Start with the sections you need for class, such as the research question, methods and main findings, and write a handful of questions for each. Questions on methods and limitations usually build more understanding than questions on the abstract alone.

What should I focus on when studying a research paper?

Identify the research question, the study design, the key result and what the authors concede as limitations. Being able to explain why the methods fit the question is more useful than memorizing exact statistics.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exporting files is a paid feature.
