Why students use an AI quiz maker with their own notes
If you already study with Revisely, you know how useful practice questions are before an exam. An AI quiz maker works from the notes you already have, so the questions match your lecture slides and readings instead of a generic question bank.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages read with text recognition
- Creates multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no exports
- Plus and Pro unlock exports, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms
Questions from your own files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Quizzes are built only from the material you provide.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so missed questions become study moments.
Export when you need it
Save quizzes as PDF or DOCX on Plus. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for courses that use a learning management system.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file, notes or a photo of a textbook page.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, then generate the quiz.
Answer and review
Take the quiz in your browser, read each explanation, and retry the questions you missed.
Good practice quizzes mix question types. Multiple-choice questions check recall, true/false questions catch misconceptions, and short answer questions make you explain an idea in your own words. Explanations after each answer turn mistakes into review material.
