How an AI quiz maker fits into studying
Writing practice questions by hand takes longer than the reading they test, which is why many students look for an AI quiz making website that works from the notes they already have. Paste or upload the material and the quiz is drafted in one pass.
- Works with PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions, each with an explanation
- Study in the browser on the free plan with 3 generations per month
- Paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, and for Pro, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML
Questions from your own material
Each quiz is built from the file you upload, so the questions match your course readings and lecture slides rather than generic trivia.
Three question types with explanations
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions. Every answer comes with a short explanation so you learn why the right answer is right.
Export when you need it
Plus exports quizzes to PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for teachers who run quizzes in a learning management system.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.
Pick the question types
Choose multiple-choice, true/false, open questions or a mix, and set how many you want.
Study or export the quiz
Take the quiz in your browser, review the explanations, and export it if you are on a paid plan.
The useful part is not the speed alone. A quiz that mixes multiple-choice, true/false and open questions tests recognition and recall, and the explanations show where your understanding is weak. Retake the quiz after a day or two to check what you kept.
Check every generated question against your source before relying on it for an exam. The tool works from the file you give it, so the most accurate quizzes come from clear, well-organized notes.
